Burnout | The Burnout Queens

Hello from Brighton & London!: 4 June 2016

June 4, 2016

Can you believe it’s already June? Where is this year going we wonder (seems time flies when you are having fun or getting older, you choose). The month of May was more upbeat than April for The Burnout Queens. It was celebration time for Dr T’s birthday, which meant lots of cakes (a welcomed delivery from our puppysitter), a daytrip to Lewes, fun breakfast and browsing 11th century style.

We thought you might like a glimpse into our seaside lifestyle as it unfolded. So after a 16 minute train ride we arrived and first stop was breakfast on the most beautiful little street. Of course we couldn’t leave the restaurant (which used to be a grocer’s store) before snooping at all the bright products around us.

Then it was off to do what The Burnout Queens do best…browse, walk, explore, discover, and be inspired by the architecture, gardens and history from 11th century settlements.

Finally, the quick hop back to The Burnout Pups and a check-in on the ‘real’ world during the 16 minute return trip. And it all ended with all 4 of us enjoying those yummy cupcakes (yes we ate them all).

Hope you enjoyed the trip. Life after burnout can be as interesting as you make it. Till next month from the seaside and London.

Love,

Spring Cleaning HSP-style

May 26, 2016

When Spring arrived, everyone was talking about spring-cleaning the house, the garden, washing the car, mending the curtains and fixing the fence! All of that sounds lovely and inspiring and encouraging. It will make us feel better to put the new paint on the walls, get the old out and make room for the new.

Of course, that got me thinking. All those make-overs outside ourselves will make us happier and feel more organised, but dear one, what if we take that concept and apply it just to little-old-you! Have you spring cleaned your life yet?

Yes, let’s spring clean you! Whoosh that sounds kinda weird, but before you get offended, why not try freshening your ‘self’ up this spring.

Spring may be the perfect time to take stock of yourself and give a heave-hoe to the old stuff and a welcome mat to the new!

Here are 8 challenges that will give you and your life a fresh-air newness.

Challenge your brain. Make a new routine to your day.
Challenge your emotions. Create new rituals (not chores) that you enjoy.
Challenge your spirit. Clear your energy by saying kinder things to you and others (get rid of the swearing and cursing, it doesn’t become a queen).
Challenge your perspective. Look for positives in your life and bin the negatives.
Challenge your heart. Send your outworn styles to charity. Give some other woman less fortunate the opportunity to feel beautiful.
Challenge your creativity. Make a beautiful space, even if it’s a little corner or small surface. Air freshener that makes you smile, candle that calms, colours you love, most classy-comfy armchair to curl up in.
Challenge your self. Take pictures of yourself and see what others see. If you don’t like what you see, change her!
Challenge your desire. Start a piggy-bank for anything you want it to be for. Keep investing in your dream, who knows when that little piggy will crack!

Remember you need to put yourself on the spring clean list every year, along with all the household cleaning. What better way to ensure you feel alive and invigorated again. After all, isn’t that what Spring is all about?

Challenge You. Clear the clutter and feel the freedom!

Love, The Burnout Queens xx
