According to a new study, plain old aspirin and coffee is the best way to cure a hangover. The scientist at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia got rats drunk and then tested what cured their headaches and what didn't. (We're picturing rats lying in bed with tiny ice packs on their foreheads.)

We have our own new favorite hangover cure (for a doozy of a hangover we had after our annual girls' night out). This one comes courtesy of Joe, a waiter at P.J. Clarke's in Washington, D.C. He recommends combining hot chamomile tea with ginger ale--a somewhat odd combo that surpisingly worked!

We're fresh off a plane from New Orleans, where we had a blast drinking and eating and eating and drinking. While all the food and cocktails were delish, after all the salt, sugar and booze combined with a plane flight, we were feeling rather prune-like by the time we walked through the front door. Enter the June Jacob's Intensive Age Defying Hyrdating Masque. Sweet almond and apricot kernel oils give it that extra hydrating boost. After using it and taking a long shower, we're starting to feel a little more human again. Now if only we could figure out how to drop the 25 pounds we gained this weekend as easily!

For extra dry skin, Jacobs recommends applying a thin layer before bedtime, "you'll wake up with baby soft skin," she says.

We love our Tumi carry on bags and though we've only had them a year or so; we've dragged them all over the world already. (That's Hope in Tuscany above.) This spring Tumi is introducing its first line of sunglasses inspired by famous bridges and their balance of form and function using materials including leather, aluminum, titanium and stainless steel.


Tumi also introduced their new Bravo collection of day bags this Spring. Our pick is the unstructured Kessler Large Duffel in Linen which attaches easily to our Tumi system (for extra packing space) or could be used alone for a quick trip.

Here's hoping our Beach Week helped you get through the snow and slush! Here's a recap of what we covered:

Beach Week Day 1: St. Barts
Beach Week Day 2: Las Vegas "Beaches"
Beach Week Day 3: Countdown to Cancun
Beach Week Day 4: Fishing in the Abacos
Beach Week Day 5: Soho House Miami
Beach Week Day 6: Kathie Lee and Hoda's Beach Day

Not surprisingly, we aren't the only ones this week with warm weather and beaches on the mind. Hoda and Kathie Lee turned into beach babes for a day on the Today Show earlier this week, featuring sunny day playlists and a visit to best beaches in the country.
