Stress, Hair Loss and Unproductivity - How to win against it?

I admit I was so stressed for the past few months. Work, family-related concerns and personal issues had taken a toll on me that it started to affect my productivity. 


Striking a life balance is not an easy task. It requires hard work and dedication which sometimes can be strenuous or even impossible to achieve. It led to immune deficiency. I started getting sick which later on, caused other parts of my body to get affected like I had an unnatural amount hair loss.

I started reading about hair loss caused by stress and found out that at its peak, our white blood cells attack no less than the follicles, thus causing alopecia. What’s more, anxiety could drive your hair into a prolonged resting phase, which is called telogen effluviumSince this is very alarming, I decided to take action. 

Here are some natural ways for us to destress:

1. Get enough sleep. Never underestimate the power of sleep. If you feel that you are over your head in dealing with anxieties, choose to rest it off for a while and recharge.



2. Exercise and have an active lifestyle. Let’s get physical to de-stress. It helps release endorphins, or what is known as the happy hormones, that can be beneficial in relieving the tension.

3. Have fun and reward yourself. Watch the timeless story of Tony and Maria and their fateful love affair as the electrifying classic WEST SIDE STORY musical premieres at The Theatre at Solaire on August 10. Read more on http://www.novuhair.com/2017/07/novuhair-natures-answer-to-hair-loss-supports-west-side-story-musical-at-the-theatre-solaire/



4. Eat more fruits and veggies. Having these as a staple in your diet will bolster your immunity from disease, which in turn, knock out stress. We can all benefit from the vitamins and minerals of the healthy food we consume.

It’s best to complement these simple regimens with a topical solution that’s safe to keep your crowning glory at its robust state. NOVUHAIR, nature's answer to hair loss, is made up of 19 natural ingredients that work in synergy to help remedy stress-related hair loss and promote healthy tress and scalp. 

The challenge in preventing these mane problems is to keep your locks healthy with proper care and let it grow naturally sans subjecting your hair to temporary relief with the use of harmful chemicals. Go natural.

NOVUHAIR contains natural extracts, herbal oils and essences, such as lavender that is also known to relieve stress. It also has a scent that leaves a calming effect. 

NOVUHAIR is available at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide.

Lookna – Helping Legit Business Reach Their Potential Customers

In a perfect world, you would have an unlimited budget to market your business in order to find new customers and increase sales. You could buy lots of online and offline advertising, run promotions to build traffic in store and online, and launch a proactive public relations campaign to increase your product or brand's visibility and awareness. But this isn't a perfect world. Realistically, most small businesses and even many mid-sized firms have more great ideas on how to peddle their wares than available resources. 

So where do you start if you are looking for more customers? Learning to generate new sales leads is an essential skill for an entrepreneur.



In Lookna, we'd like to make things easier and fair. Forget the old ways of research and composing of ads in limited characters. We provide a simple and straightforward listing that shows important information about your business such as your business name, address, operating hours & more. We also aim to provide unbiased advertising opportunity by providing fair and equal opportunity to all business owners.

How to Find New Customers and Increase Sales? The answer is, Understand Your Target Audience. Before you can find new customers and increase sales, you need to understand who your customer is, what value proposition you offer to customers, and what your competition is currently offering in the market and where there are gaps for a new entrant. In other words, you need to do some market research – whether that means hiring an outside firm to do the legwork or trying to do it yourself. There's an underlying disconnect between your motivation to increase sales and your customer's motivation to solve their problems. Certain products and services may appeal to one audience but not to another, so understanding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in your target market is critical. You can get to know your customers and segment the market any number of ways including by:

Demographics-- statistical data on a population including income levels, age, etc.

Psychographics -- the attitudes and tastes of a certain demographic.

Ethnographics -- examination of particular cultures.

Buying habits -- how what and where customers purchase products and services.

Internet marketing is alive and well, and growing by leaps and bounds.  The environment of the Internet and the virtual business world offer more potential for connecting your business with potential consumers than any other medium, past or present.

Unfortunately, as business owners, we know that every one of our competitors understands this same concept. They are also working just as hard as we are to figure out how to best maximize their online marketing strategy.  After all, the name of the game is to place our product or company squarely in front of potential online customers.

Lookna ensures that all services and listings that you will see are accurate and from a legit business owner, that is why we provide verification process before a listing will be shown to searchers. Because of that, you can be sure that advertisers who subscribe to Lookna are real service providers and not just middlemen who act as the link between the service providers and customers.

Cebu Getaway: Enjoy an Exclusive Tour in a Resort Paradise + Buffet Lunch for less Php 750

Summer may be over but that does not stop us from enjoying the sun, sea and the sand. Just a few kilometers away from the Cebu Mactan International Airport presents a paradise with such a beautiful view. 


Costabella Tropical Beach Resort provides guests with an inviting yet cozy ambiance. It has a direct access to Mactan's beautiful coastline enabling everyone to enjoy the clear waters and the fine white sand it offers. One thing that we really loved about Costabella Beach Resort is that the surroundings are well maintained and it's clean. We also liked that their lifeguards and staff are very attentive. 



Though the place is 4-star resort, it is very affordable. One can enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch with a lovely rondalla music for only Php 1,100 per person. This already includes resort entrance and the use of beach facilities and swimming pools. 

Not to mention they have a Buy 2+1 free promo (ending on 06.30.17) which makes it less than Php 750 per person. Kids below 4 years old also get to eat for free. 


Good deal, right? And, what is a better way to spend a Sunday than be with family?

Val and I definitely enjoyed our weekend getaway in Cebu. So, if you are planning to take a quick break and chill out, then you might want to consider Costabella Tropical Beach Resort. (BTW, this is not a sponsored post.) 




Also, if you are feeling a bit adventurous, there are also parasailing and banana boat activities available which I would really love to try. (Probably, next time!) 


For bookings and reservations, you may contact Costabella Tropical Beach Resort at  (032) 231-4244. They are located at Buyong, Mactan Island, Cebu 6015, Philippines. You may also follow them on Facebook for updates.

Head of the family: Not Just a Provider but a Father

Imagine working in a world where time seems to just past by and where almost everything changes instantly. Think of having to keep up with an environment where it costs a lot to stop or even slow down for a while. Sound taxing, right? What more of prioritizing the welfare of everybody in the household on top of it all. 

But every head of the family doesn’t mind about it. Fathers are said to be the pillars of our homes. They work hard to provide for the family. 



Some of them go abroad with tears in their eyes because they will be physically separated from their families. However, there is a certain joy in their hearts knowing that they will be able to provide for their loved ones back home.

To honor these gallant paternal men and let them feel how extraordinary they are and important their sacrifices are for their families, Father’s Day has been a annual event celebrated worldwide. As we mark again this special occasion on Sunday, June 18, 2017, our applause and recognition will never be enough to show them how grateful we are to have them in our lives. 

Our dads, together with our moms, take good care of us the moment we’re born. They are the ones who provide everything we need for our everyday lives. From infancy up to adulthood, they feed and clothe us. 

As we take our initial baby steps, our patriarch's guide and lead us in the right direction. When we stumble and fall, they assist us to rise and move on. In times of danger or any threat, they shield us from any harm.

All of these, they do out of unconditional love. Their selflessness, though, has its own toll. Working tirelessly could lead to high levels of stress constantly and problems not only mentally, but physically, too. So better watch out for the signs. 

Has tatay been constantly complaining about losing strands and strands of his hair every day? Or maybe has he been searching for a way on how to get them to grow back?

According to the hair loss statistics conducted by Statistic Brain in the year 2016, 40 percent of men experience noticeable mane vanishing as early as age 35. And as per the American Hair Loss Association, there are a couple of different factors that cause excessive hair fall, one being extreme degree of stress.

Nutramedica Inc. introduced a revolutionary product that aims to address this problem: NOVUHAIR, nature’s answer to hair loss. Being the only topical scalp lotion in the country that is made from 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients all working synergistically, it’s perfect for all the heads of the family out there, be they biological or not.

NOVUHAIR is proven effective and safe to help prevent and stop the progression of hair loss and, at the same time, help promote locks’ growth. Simply spray a liberal amount of NOVUHAIR topical scalp lotion onto the scalp and massage for 5-10 minutes. Voila, it penetrates deeply into the roots, which helps rejuvenate, nourish and maintain the natural moisture of the hair. 

Still have no idea on what to give him on his big day? Well, NOVUHAIR might not be the most expensive gift to impress him, but the most valuable present he could ever have. This nature’s answer to hair loss provides him the chance to be ahead already in preventing his “crowning glory” from receding in the near future. 


So, head on to all leading stores nationwide and get a dose of this breakthrough product. NOVUHAIR is also available in shampoo and conditioner formats to further complement the benefits of NOVUHAIR topical scalp lotion. NOVUHAIR is available at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide. You may also order NOVUHAIR online at www.lazada.com.ph. For inquiries, you may call 413-6570 or 0922-8830575, and visit www.novuhair.com.
