Congratulations!
BOOK DESCRIPTION
All women have it, but may never have thought about it-it’s the one week of the month when you feel great about yourself, more attractive, focused, and receptive to others. Your hair shines; your skin glows. But why does this happen? And why do we often feel so out of balance the rest of the month. Leading gynecologist Dr. Rebecca Booth created The Venus Week metaphor to help her patients better understand what influences the constant physical, emotional, and sexual changes they feel.
MY REVIEW
Before I read this book, I had never heard of The Venus Week. Booth describes this time as “a window of days each month when estrogen and testoterone are at their peak. In order to encourage us to reproduce, Nature cleverly gives women a gift: when we are most likely to conceive, we feel and look our best.”
I thought this book would be filled with medical terms and terminology but found it to be very easy to read and understand. It’s written in every day language that makes you feel like the author is talking with you and not at you. It taught me how to find my Venus Week so that I could make the most of it and included tips on increasing my energy level. Something I definitely need.
This book is a great resource for women at any age. It takes you through a woman’s cycle from pubescence to menopause and helps you understand the different stages you go through. In fact, this book is also great to help the man in your life understand and appreciate your body and all the things it goes through. I guarantee that they will have a whole new perspective!

I’d love to win this book because I believe in any books that help women - and if there’s a scientific biological rhythm during the month during which we have peak times, I’d love to know and to pass this knowledge on to other women!

sounds interesting. I’ve been trying to conceive now for over 2 years. I’m up for trying anything that would help me discover my fertile time.
I often experience times where I feel less than beautiful. My daughter will soon be two and I can honestly say that descriptions of myself don’t usually include the words “attractive and beautiful”, but “frazzled and tired”. i’d like this book because it would help me get back to focusing on myself a little. Afterall, I want to be a positive rolemodel of confidence to my little girl. I believe this book would help me. Thanks for thsi giveaway!
