When it comes to pampering on a national scale, Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa holds the only spot. After introducing the celebration of the National Pampering Day last year, Nailaholics is back at it again this 2017 with an amplified nationwide celebration of relaxation that everyone is looking forward to this October 17.
The National Pampering Day got off to a good start last year where Nailaholics offered free manicure service and a stress relieving hand massage from 10 AM to 12 NN on all their branches nationwide. This year, everyone will be treated to a free service of their choice: a soothing manicure, calming foot spa or a relaxing foot massage.
“We Filipinos are very hardworking in any given aspect of our lives and a nation of energetic and industrious people best deserves real pampering once in a while.”
“This year, as Nailaholics celebrates the 2nd National Pampering Day, we go deeper and dedicate this to everyone and remind them to take it slow, take it easy, zone out and relax for a while.” said Arvin Amaro, Marketing Head of Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa.
“With last year’s success of the National Pampering Day, we are back this year with a bigger and much more enjoyable day of pampering. In partnership with the number one salon brand and most beloved nail lacquer brand in the world, O.P.I., National Pampering Day 2017 will accommodate more guests with the extension of pampering time until 1PM.”
“Also, the best thing about this year’s National Pampering Day is that it will be in support to World Vision, The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), and Save Philippine Seas,” added Amaro.

Today’s young woman is outspoken, confident, and knowledgeable. She strives to make a statement in everything she does – from social media updates to the clothes she wears, and the cosmetics she uses. With this in mind, Careline has shifted to a bolder and trendier brand image.
“The youths are the main inspiration for Careline’s new brand direction. They are confident in who they are, what they want, and how they want to express themselves,” said Careline brand manager Creole David.
Combining quirky and “everyday wearable,” the new image aims to appeal to everyone. It is both simple and striking with its new boldface logo and colorful packaging. Upcoming products will match the new bold attitude.
“We offer products that are a little different from the usual drugstore make-up brands. They are Better than Basic,” explained David. “And they are very wearable!”
Some of these new products are Go! Mascara in two variants – The Go! Long Mascara to make lashes look long and wispy and the Go! Big Mascara, which has a special brush that packs on product to make lashes extra voluminous; Careline Best Brow Pencil, a retractable brow pencil and spoolie that brushes and tames the brows; and Careline Graph Ink Liner, which has a long flexible felt tip to make lining the eyes quicker.
Another product to look forward to is the Careline Multi Sticks, a multipurpose make-up collection that comes in six pieces:
- Contour Stick, a universal contour that also doubles as an eyeshadow color;
- Brighten Stick, a yellow-toned brightening concealer that can be used as an eyeshadow primer;
- Strobe Stick, a metallic highlighter for the décolletage and shoulders that also looks great as a metallic eyeshadow;
- Blur Stick, a pore-filling primer that works well alone or under foundation; and
- Rose and Peach Sticks, multi-use tints that do wonders for the eyes, cheeks and lips.
Careline has also upgraded its lipstick line. New collections available in the market include the Matte Liquid Lipstick that comes in rich hues like Upper Hand in deep burgundy, Craving in true brown and Dark Matter in a deep, almost black shade.
For the adventurous, Careline offers the Melted Metallic Lipstick with a matte metallic finish. It comes in champagne gold Luster, metallic red Live Wire, and metallic purple Prince.
To spread its Better than Basic message, Careline launched the Girl Gang, led by teen star and endorser Andrea Brillantes. Joining her are Alyana Chapman, Azusa Masu, Megu Demetrio and Regine Lacanienta, the brand’s online model search discoveries. They embody the fun but empowering message Careline wants to share with its youthful market through this video.
With its shift in attitude and a bolder, trendier brand image, teens and make-up fanatics can definitely make a statement with Careline.

You are graduating from high school this school year, you’ve applied to different colleges for acceptance, including the University of the Philippines … are you ready for the UPCAT?
The first ever mock exam for the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) in the country is now available for everyone with a computer and internet connection for every student taking the UPCAT this year.
AHEAD, the leading and most awarded tutorial and review center in the country once again introduced this innovation to prepare students who will take the UPCAT this coming October 21-22, 2017.
Only the creme dela creme are admitted in the University of the Philippines. UP graduates are deemed to be more ready for work and are given more opportunities in the past decades. UP produced 7 of 14 presidents of the the Philippines, national scientists and artists, chief justices, renowned entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, among others. UP has 15 campuses nationwide.
UP Oblation
UP remains to be the university with the largest number of applicants every year. UPCAT is one of the country’s most competitive exams, having 70,000 examinees of which only 10 percent pass. Tuition in UP will be waived next year so more students are expected to take the UPCAT.
AHEAD’s mission and vision include reaching more students; and through the internet, students from as far as Visayas and Mindanao can now experience taking the exam under time limit.
With the UPCAT online mock exam, students will be able to take a simulated test that will give them an idea about their chances of passing the UPCAT.
AHEAD helped create the tutorial and review industry in the country. It is known for creating many firsts. AHEAD published the first UPCAT book and UPCAT APP. It is the first review center that offered review specifically for UP, Ateneo and De La Salle. AHEAD is also the first center to offer a program that guarantees passing, or your money-back.
Aside from UPCAT, AHEAD also offers an online mock exam for the De La Salle University, and in the following months the University of Asia and the Pacific and other state universities’ entrance exams. Like UP, other state universities will also waive their tuition fee next year.
Is the mock UPCAT anything like the real one?
The mock UPCAT is like the real exam — it contains the same subjects and it’s also four hours long. AHEAD advises that students be ready with two bond papers to be used as scratch papers for math; snacks and drinks; and to go to the restroom before they start the test.
The test must be taken in front of a desktop or laptop with the following specifications and programs.
- A minimum internet speed of 1MBPS
- Desktop or laptop computer with at least 2GB of RAM
- Windows 7 or higher / OS X Mavericks (Version 10.9) or higher
Taking mock tests will help students have a feel of the exam so they will be more at ease during the actual exam. Students who need support after getting their scores can get explanation from AHEAD tutors in AHEAD branches in Quezon City, Ortigas, Alabang, Antipolo, Tuguegarao, Baguio, and Makati.
Or they can get an online tutorial so they don’t have to travel to the tutorial center but speak to a teacher live. They can also inquire about this by emailing on****@*******du.ph or calling 09178911187.
Education will always be the best investment. And education from the best universities will always have the best ROI.
