Green Pan 6-Piece Set Black Aluminium

11-inch Grill Pan

8-inch Fry Pan

This is on my wish list. (Hint! Hint!) Imagine cooking with these babies! With its Thermolon non-stick technology, cooking will now be a lot healthier as you need not add any oil or butter. Unlike other non-stick pans, Green Pan does not contain any PTFE or PFOA. These pans are designed to last and this may probably be the last time you will be shopping for cookware. They are also scratch and abrasion resistant.

At asianfoodchannel.com, this state-of-the-art cookware set is going for S$ 205.00 (US$ 139.30) for the 2-piece set (20cm and 24cm) Frying Pans. But I found this incredibly fantastic deal at Amazon.com. For only US$ 79.99, you’ll get Green Pan with Thermolon Technology Premier Set which includes:-

• 8″ (20cm) Fry Pan with lid
• 11″ (28cm) Fry Pan
• 11″ (28cm) Grill Pan with grill ridges
• 11″ (28cm) Steamer Insert
• 11″ (28cm) Universal Lid (can be used with the 11″ Grill Pan and the 11″ Fry Pan)

Any takers for this amazing deal? I know someone who is dying to get her greedy hands on these beauties. Me.

Why? I could give you a multitude of reasons. On my last shopping trip out to a major shopping centre, I saw some snappy Nine West shoes. The average price of a pair of Nine West shoes could cost anything between Rm363/US$103 (for jazzy sandels : Sourcerer) to  Rm 396/US$112 (for high heel strappies : Jenicca or   (casual straps : Jed)

When I scoured the net, I found, http://www.shopstyle.com/browse/womens-shoes/Nine-West

On that last venture out, I also shopped for bags.  I saw some Guess bags which could set me back Rm759/US$215 for a new arrival

Legend Shopper Bag.

If I bought them direct from US and delivered via vsHub, I could get the exact model from http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=guess+bags for only Rm 300/US$84.99 (this was a discount from a previous RETAIL price of Rm406/US$115 mind you). With a discount thrown in, I was saving a whopping 60% or to be more precise Rm459!  So I guess I have qualified my multitude of reasons.

I am quite hopeless with directions. I need maps and precise instructions to help me get to my destination especially those areas I am not familiar with. Thankfully, I found a gadget to help geographically challenged people like me. I know with Garmin Nuvi 5000 5.2-Inch Portable GPS Navigator, I will save loads of petrol as I will not get lost so much anymore.

Garmin Nuvi 5000 5.2-Inch Portable GPS Navigator shows the exact latitude and longitude coordinates. With its voice prompts, you do not have to keep glancing at this thingamajig as you drive. It will even speak to you. How cool is that? With a whole lot of cool features such as Auto-sort multiple destinations (provides most direct route), Auto re-route (fast off-route and detour recalculation) and Choice of route setup this is one useful gadget to have in your car. Plus its 5.2 inch display won’t have you squinting at the display.

Want this cool gadget? It is going for US$ 1 010.00 in stores but at GPS -NavBestBuy.Com, you can get it for US$ 569.99. But the best price I found is US$ 298.97 at Amazon.com.

How organic or natural are the skin products we buy? Even products that profess to be organic or natural might contain chemicals which can cause long term harm. But let’s get real, very few products, even purpported organic and natural brands DON’T contain some toxic. So how do we make that organic or natural buying decision?

A US website called Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database by Environmental Working Group; list the toxic level of PRODUCTS and ingredients. While it might not be fully fool-proof, the site is created by Environmental Working Team, a team of scientists, engineers, policy experts, lawyers and computer programmers who pores over government data, legal documents, scientific studies to analyse products on the market for toxic level, be it organic or natural.

While its great to be able to purchase items at a lower cost closer to home, often the low toxic organic products are more readily available from US at much lower prices. US tends to also demand more transparency in their ingredients listing. Some of these include, mothernature.com and drugstore.com.

Recently I purchased Dr Bronner’s Organic Shikakai Body Soap, Dr Bronner’s Organic Body Lotion, Organic cologne and Dessert Essence’s face wash, saving almost 50% overall. A little research and time would probably provide that much savings if one buys direct from US using vsHub’s services to bring in the products.
