February is the month of hearts and love and all things romantic … this means dates and making sure we look good from head to toe for our special someone.
Make a big impact by putting together a look that brings out the best in you. From your clothes and make-up to the tiny details that count, you have many options to get that stunning aura on V-Day.
Better start with the hair, which usually draws attention to a person. Per studies, a head full of hair indicates youth and health at its best. Power and stability, on the other hand, corresponds to a long, shiny tress. A bouncy bob means bubbly personality. Meanwhile, curly locks add to masculinity and femininity.
Not everyone is blessed with having beautiful hair but that does not mean we should just accept it and give up. Not when there are solutions available that are all natural and readily available.
Something to remember: stay away from chemical-based ones. This is a “must”, especially when dealing with problems like shedding or thinning of the hair. Most of these products contain parabens as preservative, according to aesthetics and rejuvenation expert Dr. Cecilia Catapang.
“Through the years, as you use chemical-based product, slowly and little by little, your body absorbs the parabens, which accumulate to significant levels, enough to induce what is called an estrogen sensitive breast cancer,” she says.
Synthetic haircare products have several adverse effects because they are drugs. What you don’t know about them might hurt you. So avoid it the next time you go over the counter for your supplies or ditch what you’re using today for naturally-made products because they aid in stimulating hair growth while maintaining its natural water, shine and vibrancy.
Amid a glut of chemical-free hair solutions out there, Dr. Catapang recommends NOVUHAIR for its being natural and compliant to the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive, which means it doesn’t have paraben.
In addition of its safety benefits, this topical scalp lotion specifically is the only hair growth product in the market containing 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients working synergistically to help remedy hair problems from growth to vanishing.
NOVUHAIR helps rejuvenate, nourish and maintain moisture in the scalp and improve the overall appearance of the tress. Lastly, it’s more effective and safe solution to help remedy hair loss and promote hair growth.
Sounds like it’s time to shift to “nature’s answer to hair loss”, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time to start loving again your hair with NOVUHAIR to enhance or bring back the old “crowning glory” to look your best in front of your dearest, or turning the head of a potential mate on you this V-Day. Let the love begin!

I never really thought I had a need for speed but last Monday at the Media launch for Phoenix Petroleum Pulse Technology I had so much fun riding a Go-Kart and experiencing first hand the power of Phoenix Petroleum Pulse Technology 98 octane fuel, the upgraded fuel of Phoenix Petroleum.
I was not the fastest of all the racers ( my fastest lap was 1 minute and 40 seconds – I tend to be more conservative and cautious), but with the average time of my teammates, we placed first. yey! The feel of how responsive that go-kart was running on 98 octane gasoline courtesy of Phoenix Petroleum.
Since I do drive on a regular basis I wasn’t too worried about driving the go-kart itself. The first lap around was more of familiarization with the track and getting a feel of how the steering would respond.
This was important for me because I totally suck at the simulator. I just had no control over the vehicle on the simulator at all. But on the track, oh, the track! I just loved it! The feel of the asphalt underneath me, the wind rushing against my helmet with leaves flying in my face, the feel of the steering wheel vibrating under my hands as I navigated the track … I will surely be taking a turn around the track again.
As part of the group that averaged fastest, we got to take home these beautiful babies. Woohoo! We split the prize check 3 ways so .. yay me! I have gas for one month. 😀
Yesterday morning my first stop was at the Phoenix Gas Station at Timog and I had the gas attendant pour the 95 octane gas in my car. I immediately felt the difference. Oh, the power! Vrooom, vrooom!
All their products — diesel, 91 octane (regular), 95 octane (premium), and 98 octane (racing) are now modified to the latest Pulse Technology, an innovative formulation with advanced cleaning and protection properties for enhanced power and acceleration.
Having experienced this first hand raised so many questions for me. Thankfully, Phoenix was ready to provide the answers. What exactly does this new formulation promise? Here are some fast facts about the next generation fuels.
1. Why is Phoenix Petroleum launching Phoenix PULSE Technology?

4. What can it do for my car?
Phoenix PULSE Technology has three main benefits:

- It provides engine protection.
All these help result to better fuel economy when used continuously.
5. How does it help result to enhanced power and acceleration?
Phoenix PULSE Technology allows your fuel to run smoothly in your engine and burn efficiently, resulting to enhanced power and acceleration. With more power and more acceleration, you can experience a smoother and a worry-free drive, be it in the city or out of town.
6. Why should I choose this fuel over other brands?
Our fuels offer the best value: they are high performance, AND are priced reasonably, so drivers get more distance with every drop at Phoenix Petroleum.
7. Why is it called Phoenix PULSE Technology?
The word pulse connotes life and excitement, which is exactly what this fuel additive can do to your vehicle. It can help give more life to your every drive by ensuring that your car remains energized through its cleaning and protection benefits.
Below is the official press release from Phoenix introducing their latest innovation, Phoenix Pulse Technology.
