title: How to reload/refresh model from database in Laravel?
body: <p>In some of my tests, I have a user model I have created and I run some methods that need to save certain attributes. In rails, I would typically call something like <code>user.reload</code> which would repopulate the attributes from the database.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way in laravel to do that? I read through the api and couldn't find a method for it: <a href="http://laravel.com/api/4.1/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Model.html">http://laravel.com/api/4.1/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Model.html</a> Any ideas on the "right" way to do this?</p>
