Low Test
Low-T, it’s a little discussed men’s health topic. Low testosterone is commonly understood as a link to low sex drive and erectile dysfunction, but testosterone plays a more comprehensive role in our health. Testosterone is produced by the human body and plays a role in general and sexual health. Low-T affects 40% of men above the age of 45, and testosterone levels drop by 1% per year starting at age 30.

Essential Leadership
Nicki Anderson embodies this issue. She is a woman empowered. Nicki tells us her empowerment is from being stuck in her toddler brain of being chronically curious and listening to herself. “When your intuition kicks in and you have people telling you not to go down an unknown path, trust yourself to go forward and own your success. Embrace the curiosity!” Nicki’s curiosity has taken her down many different paths: she has been a stay-at-home mom, a business owner, the Chamber of Commerce CEO, a published writer, and currently, a university program director.

Luxe Liaison – How Can JD Help You?
I am a USA Today Bestselling Romance Author who is also a contributing writer with Main & Luxe. Outside of magazine assignments, I spend my days writing spicy happily-ever-afters. But I am strategic about each plot. My characters don’t find their way to each other because of pure luck. It’s careful planning and a puzzle board of ideas and plots. There’s angst, fighting, push back, and heated tension.

Home Organization: Declutter Life
In fact, three of the best-rated home makeover shows on TV are “Get Organized with the Home Edit” and “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo” on Netflix and “Hot Mess House” on HGTV. From racks to store sporting equipment and yard equipment in the garage (baseball bats, hockey sticks, rakes, shovels, etc.) to shelves and bins to compartmentalize the pantry (soup cans, spices, extra paper towels, etc.), the opportunities in home organization seem limited only by the imagination. Studies show it’s good for your brain, stress levels, and productivity. De-cluttering and organizing are hot.
