Ken Jeong voices an old woman in Team "Turbo"

Ken Jeong in Team Turbo

In the 3D family comedy adventure “Turbo,” a snail learns that it takes more than talent to get to the top and that there’s no substitute for friends and family in the pursuit of a dream.

It’s a lesson that the little snail at the heart of the new animated 3D film TURBO discovers when he sets out to become a champion racing driver.  Turbo (Ryan Reynolds) has determination, drive and a sense of adventure but is an outsider within community of ordinary garden snails. He is dissatisfied with his lot; moving through life at a snail’s pace doesn’t suit his temperament.

Turbo has an outlandish fantasy of traveling over 200 miles per hour – just like his hero, a champion French Canadian racing driver. It doesn’t sound possible for a creature known for being one of the slowest on Earth, but an accident on the freeway gives the little snail incredible speed. Turbo-charged, he embarks on a wild adventure in search of racing glory. Initially Turbo has no support at all. His goals are regarded with disdain by his brother Chet (Paul Giamatti), who thinks he should settle down and forget all about racing.  Along the way he ends up with a group of racing snails in a rundown strip mall called Starlight Plaza.  The humans whom he also met became an integral part of his journey who backed him up in doing the impossible – to race in the Indy 500.

Coconut water: Good for your health, good for your skin

Tropicana Coco Quench refreshes

Many are aware that nature’s perfect nut aids in having a healthy body, but not everyone knows that it is also one of the key beauty secrets to maintaining youthful, supple, and glowing skin.

The skin is the largest organ in the entire body. This is why being mindful in caring for your skin is vital. It’s an open secret that hydration is the foundation of a healthy skin, and it comes in two common forms: topical moisturizing and hydration as we drink. As we age, the skin loses the ability to retain high levels of water, and the earlier people start to take care of the skin, the more it will be beneficial in the long run.

Packed with vitamins and minerals, coconut water has good hydrating properties. It is known to contain high levels of electrolytes, which come in the form of potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and phosphorus. Electrolytes help with the absorption and balance of the body’s internal fluids.

Summit Water is Official Hydration Partner of Cobra Ironman 70.3

It’s all systems go in Cebu, as over 2,000 participants from 33 countries in 5 continents set to arrive for the fifth Cobra Ironman 70.3 to be held on August 5. Participants are vying for a chance to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Las Vegas Nevada to be held a month later. For the fifth consecutive year, Summit Natural Drinking Water will be the official hydration partner of the entire leg of the race.

The route will begin at Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa, where athletes have to complete a 1.2-mile swim in open water. They will then traverse Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Cebu, and Talisay Cities for the 56-mile bike leg, finishing up at Punta Engaño for a 13.1-mile run.
