The vessel is breakable and guests take turns to hit it in till it smashes and spills the goodies for the eager guests.

 10 million people die each year from cancer. More than one third of cancer cases can be prevented. Another third can be detected early and treated. Cancer has killed more people than HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.  Cancer is an unusual and uncontrolled growth that invades the body. It affects almost any part of the human body and ravages the cells. There are millions of people currently fighting cancer and many millions who have lost the battle. This month we honour them by reminding ourselves to live a much healthier life. One of the best ways to prevent cancer is to adopt a healthy lifestyle: eat healthy foods that’s rich in fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of fluids, exercise and keep active, as well as avoiding bad habits like drinking alcohol, smoking and drug abuse.  While keeping healthy, don’t forget that what you apply on your skin also matters a great deal.

 It's a New Month, a New Year and hopefully a New and Better Life. We thought to begin the year armed with some basic health tips and the knowledge of what to have on hand in case of any health emergency. At any point in time, you or someone around you may have an injury or illness. Basic first-aid is the assistance you get or give to prevent a minor injury or condition from getting worse, and in some instances, it saves lives. Some injuries may only need basic first-aid, for instance minor cuts, burns, or insect bites, but for major injuries, it helps to manage the condition before the person gets to see a medical doctor. There are organizations that provide training and courses on First Aid so go ahead and find one if you're interested in getting the full training. You never know when you may need to assist someone, or yourself, so it's a great idea to be prepared. You may consider keeping a first aid kit in your home, office or car. The items and tools you will need  can...
