So. I've said this several times, to several different people... I LOVE LIQUIDS.
Seriously. If I were forced to go on a liquid only diet, I could TOTALLY do it.
Happily.
I'm not as crazy as I used to be. When I was still in school, this was my daily regimen:
1 12oz glass of skim milk
1 12oz-16oz glass of orange juice
1 can of coke
1 grande coffee (maybe 2 if it was a rough day)
2-3 liters of water
...and an occasional, 16oz Tropical Awakening from Jamba Juice.
I have definitely toned it down. I no longer drink milk daily, and the Jamba thing happens only 1-2 times a month. Maybe. :)
Anyways, on a coffee break awhile ago, [Tigger] and I decided to go to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
I ordered my usual Hazelnut Latte.. and I decided to try the new Green Apple Breeze thing (which was too sweet for my taste, BTW). As I'm paying, a pretty bottle catches my eye: BORBA. BORBA Skin Balance Water, to be exact.

Sounds interesting, right? How could I resist??
There were 4 different flavors/areas of concern:
- Pomegranate = Clarifying, for oily skim
- Acai = Age Defying, for aging skin and wrinkles
- Guanabana = Firming, for body/firmness
- Lychee = Replenishing, for dry skin
I plan to try all 4, so I picked the one closest to me: Pomegranate.
Here's the lowdown: (an excerpt from borba.com)

BORBA's skin balance water blends contain an array of exotic fruits, antioxidant ingredients, and essential vitamins and minerals that work in tandem to help improve and protect skin, from the inside out!
When we're young, our skin is mostly comprised of water- giving us a poreless look, softened texture, and firm feel.
As we age, our skin's ability to hold onto water or moisture greatly decreases, revealing visible pores, rougher and dryer skin texture, and a less firm appearance.
Unlike topical skin care products, BORBA Skin Balance Water provides the added healthy benefit of internal hydration.
Sounds like a bunch of CRAP to me. But it tastes good! :)
