Happy Birthday Pieter

Today is my hubbies B-day… HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIETER! Anyway, not much planned for today seeing that it is on a weekday, but can’t wait for the weekend though. Some friends will be coming over on Saturday for a braai, as Pieter loves to have friends and family over on his birthday, and tonight we will just have some snacks and cake over at his moms’ house. So not really much planned, except for me scheming… I really want to take him out. Just the two of us for something nice and relaxing… Will let you know after Sunday, can’t let it slip now

Testosterone

Well I have been reading everything went on every web read a couple of books and so forth, and everywhere you turn the word Testosterone appear. Now I know that most of us know what testosterone is, but for those who don’t here it is: Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. In both men and women testosterone plays a key role in health. They say on average and adult males’ body produces about forty to sixty times more testosterone that a adult body of a female, but females are more sensitive to the hormone from a behavioural perspective. So there you have it!
