Boobs can be fun, but they can also be serious and breast cancer is no laughing matter. Here are five ways to reduce your risk of breast cancer:

#5 - I hate to say it but keep the cocktails to a minimum. A study in 2007 has linked breast cancer incidents and alcohol consumption.

#4 - Eat a healthy diet: Cook meals from scratch, limit the deep fat frying, and load up on healthy fruits, vegetables, nuts etc. Aim for nutrient packed foods and smaller meals. Also heat your food in a healthy manner. Avoid using plastic containers in the microwave and enamel coated pans on the stove which may emit a harmful chemical at high temperatures.

#3 - Get enough sleep: Sleeping aids the body in repairing itself. Make sure you're catching enough Zzz's

#2 - Exercise regularly: Studies say you should aim for about 3-4 hours a week of exercise but more is certainly better.

#1 - Find your healthy weight and maintain it: Extra fat cells can increase your risk of cancer. Strive to maintain a healthy weight through a proper diet and exercise.

Drrrrrrinks! What’s an adult Halloween party without good drinks?

During EP #01, I recommended two drinks: the Halloween Hpnotist and the Zoe Grimm Reaper.

I discovered the Halloween Hpnotist through about.com and, after trying it for myself, absolutely had to share with others. It is a great drink to serve at a party, and it’s simple to mix up.

Halloween Hpnotist 
  • 2 parts Hpnotiq liqueur 
  • 1 part vodka 
  • Splash of lemon juice 
On about.com, they suggest garnishing the drink with a glowstick. That does certainly up the ‘wow’ factor of the drink’s look, but I’m not a fan of inedible garnishes so I opt for garnishing this drink with a cherry. 

Whenever I make my own cocktails, I go by taste. (Exact measurements are for pansies.) But I’ve made and drank the Zoe Grimm Reaper on a few different occasions, and these are the proportions I tend to stick to:

Zoe Grimm Reaper 
  • 1 part Vodka 
  • 1 part Gin 
  • ½ part Tequila 
  • ½ part Triple Sec 
  • ½ part Simple Syrup 
  • Squirt of freshly squeezed lemon juice 
For an added treat, serve the Zoe Grimm Reaper over blood red, blood orange ice cubes. To make the cubes:
  • Juice a bag of blood oranges. (Optional: add some black or red food coloring to the juice to intensify the color.)
  • Pour blood orange juice into ice cube trays and place in the freezer until frozen (approx. 8 hours).
