January 10, 2010, I had a small gathering of friends and family celebrating a multitude of things. The joke between my friends was that the party had a miscellaneous theme; it was a welcome to 2010, juice, donation, going away party. I wanted to have a gathering with my friends and family, but could not settle on a theme, so I thought I would do something for everyone. It was a welcome to 2010 party, ten days into the New Year; that was something to celebrate. My gramma gave me a juicer as an early Christmas gift in October, so I wanted to share with everyone my love for juicing. I am leaving for Haiti in a week, so I wanted to collect a few donations and also give everyone a chance to wish me a safe journey. It was a miscellaneous party that resulted in a great time! The party started at 3pm and ended at 12am. 9 hours of pure madness and I mean that in a good way. We had appetizers, played Taboo, ate dinner, danced, juiced, and then finished off the night with a new episode of Keeping up with the Kardashions and conversations. The dancing and juicing had to be my favorite part by far. Each person got up and danced /sang to a requested song. We then decided to end the ‘concert’ with a congo line, which turned into the game of telephone except with dance moves. Making fresh juice and having the chance to share my interests in eating healthy with friends and family was wonderful. Everyone went around the table buffet style and chose fruits and vegetable that they wanted in their drink. I juiced for about 2+hours and it flew by so fast because of all the laughter and discussions going around the table.
11 people were in my house, some had known each other their entire lives, others just met for the first time, but one would never have known by the way we laughed ,joked, and danced with one another. I went to bed sore, but with a smile on my face. A smile that will always appear on my face when I reminiscence about that night.
What I learned today 1/10:
- Friendship is to be valued
- A cartwheel into a split is never a good idea if you are not a professional
- People have very interesting tastes when it comes to making juice and smoothies
- Taboo is not a game for the sensitive or those who cannot handle competition
- Time is just an illusion – those 9 hours felt like 2.
- I will be having another Juice party, a great way to introduce healthy living and have a good time.
thanks for spreading

Thank you Mathuselah. I was glad to see the positive response to healthy lifestyle and some people left saying they would love to have a juicer. So I hope that encourages more people to eat fruits, vegetables.
