Chef's Classics Carbon Fiber Non-Stick Saucepot, 24cm

I have a Chef's Classics sauce pot with a long handle.  I need one that I can hold on both sides and this non-stickl saucepot is just perfect!  I love using saucepots for making small serving soups and also gravy for my kids' favorite burger steak or fried chicken.

The Chef's Classics Carbon Fiber series are non-reactive non-stick cookware that marries the benefits of aluminum and non-stick. Cold-forged aluminum cookware finished with a tough, non-stick Greblon coating are some of the finest cookware you'll ever have because the aluminum body absorbs and retains heat well, while the non-stick coating protects it from reacting with acidic food. It is also lightweight and durable, and cooks and cleans with ease. Just stay away from metal utensils and stick to using nylon, silicone, or wood to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. When well taken care of, the Carbon Fiber series will stay with you for years. Slow cook meats, cook bigger batches of soups and stocks, boil water, or deep fry—there's nothing you can't do with a versatile casserole like this!

I've always been hooked by Watsons' tagline: "Look Good, Feel Great!"  But behind this famous line is DO GOOD, which they've been doing for quite some time now as part of its Sustainability Program. Recently. Watsons Philippines has entered a collaboration with Plastic Bank to help reduce plastic pollution and alleviate poverty by creating livelihood.

Personally, I've been doing what I can to help mother earth heal by bringing my own bag when shopping, by doing the 3 Rs (recycling, repurposing, reducing), and segregating garbage to name a few.  If many would do the same, we would live in a healthier world right?  Thanks to Watsons, their programs indeed would help the environment especially the ocean.  Here are some more ideas:

Sustainability has always been part of the Watsons DNA. Recognizing that the ocean stores a quarter of CO2 from the atmosphere and up to 93.4% of heat caused by the greenhouse effect, Watsons is committed to reducing the overall impact of its own brand plastic packaging so that it may contribute to ocean protection.

The A.S. Watsons Group has banned the use of microplastics in its own brand of rinse-off cosmetics or personal care products since 2014. By the end of 2019, this ban has been extended to all brands so no rinse-off cosmetics or personal care products from any brand are sold at any Watsons stores.

Watsons Philippines offers its customers four Sustainable Choices: Clean Beauty (mindfully created products without “unwanted” ingredients), Refill and Reduce (refilling bottles and reusing containers), Better Ingredients and Better Packaging.

Through its Impact Program Collaboration with Plastic Bank, the health, wellness, and beauty retailer will continue to Do Good for the Oceans by committing to the prevention of 50,000 kg of plastic bottles from entering the world’s oceans - the equivalent of 2.5 million bottles over the first 12 months.  

"At the heart of Look Good, Feel Great is Do Good. Watsons has always been at the forefront of sustainability and this collaboration with Plastic Bank only further reinforces our commitment to helping make this world a better place,” said Viki Encarnacion, Watsons PR and Sustainability Director.

“We are happy to team up with Watsons Philippines - a company that shares our vision on creating a regenerative economy. This collaboration showcases our unified goal of stopping ocean plastic while creating more opportunities for people living in vulnerable coastal communities,” said David Katz, Founder, and CEO of Plastic Bank.

More and more brands are helping each other to make the world a better place. Thanks to Watsons for all their sustainability projects that contribute greatly to saving our planet, by doing good for the ocean! Here's how we could also do our parts through Watsons:

While I love to clean around the house as my expression of love for my family, I have difficulty in finding time to do it.  With multiple innovative home appliances available that promise to make chores easier, more convenient, and even faster, the never-ending choices can also be a source of stress.  Stress is the last thing I want to feel to be honest.  So I rely on recommendation of friends and reviews online to help me find a solution to my mom challenges.  One of the most recommended to me is to get a Deerma DX700 or Deerma DX700S Ultra Quiet Vacuum Cleaner.

I took a look at Deerma DX700 and was impressed to know that it's a 2-in-1 Vertical Hand-held Vacuum Cleaner! This type of vacuum is designed for cleaning the house more efficiently. Multi-angle engineering handle makes it possible to clean the entire house.

As handheld, it can clean surfaces such as bed or table. As vertical cleaning mode, it can vacuum dust from the floor of different parts of the house, carpets, wall, and even curtain. It's versatile, no need to get another vacuum for another purpose. It can literral sweep the whole house clean! The fact that it's versatile, it's a practical choice of vacuum for me! And if it's practical, it passes my purchase standards!

If you're looking for a useful home cleaning tool that can be a wonderful help for cleaning your home, this Deerma DX700 2-in-1 Vertical Hand-held Vacuum Cleaner is a good choice for you!

Sharing with you the other features I like about the Deerma DX700 Vacuum Cleaner:

• 2-in-1 use: hand-held and vertical

This is in line with the platform’s continued commitment to provide jobs that matter during these increasingly unpredictable times, empowering candidates that were affected by the pandemic and the recent strict implementation of community quarantine.

Here's what to note:

• Over 160 government agencies are participating in the Virtual Career Fair, offering various specializations such as Security/Armed Forces/Protective Services, Education Clerical/Administrative Support, General Work (Housekeeper, Driver, Dispatch, Messenger, etc), Healthcare (Nurse, Medical Support, Assistant), among others.
• Central Visayas​, CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) and MIMAROPA​ (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan), Eastern Visayas​, Zamboanga​, and Cordillera Administrative Region are the top locations for the said government jobs.
• According to The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), around 90,000 workers were affected by the recent Enhanced Community Quarantine. They have either permanently lost their jobs or are under flexible work arrangements.​
• Based on JobStreet’s Global Talent Survey, many jobseekers are now prioritizing job security over financial compensation due to the unpredictability of the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, the government sector is one of the top employers in JobStreet, hence viewed as a more secure career option by Filipino workers at this time.

With this, JobStreet and CSC offer employment opportunities in the public sector by bringing jobseekers and hiring government agencies together in the virtual career fair.

The joint initiative is also in commemoration of the CSC’s 121st Philippine Civil Service Anniversary, wherein they committed to holding an enjoyable, productive, and helpful virtual job fair this 2021.​

“It has always been JobStreet’s advocacy to provide every Filipino with jobs that matter, and it’s an honor that the Civil Service Commission trusted us again to be a part of this initiative to help candidates rebuild themselves and find an opportunity to be of service to our nation,” shared JobStreet Philippines Country Manager Philip Gioca.

Applicants during the Virtual Career Fair in partnership with CSC can explore the platform’s live chat feature and Facebook Live events, with the chance to be interviewed on-the-spot.
