Highly Sensitive Woman

The experience of living as a highly sensitive woman in a noisy, busy and unrelenting world

Can’t Keep Your Antlers Straight?

Antlers on straight

Can’t keep your antlers straight?…

You might just be in the Loop! That’s the B-Loop we’re talking about.  What’s the B-Loop?  Well my dears… B is for Burnout!

The holiday season is defined by stress and pressure: TV ads with sparkling lights and happy happy families, perfect dinners, happy families, mounds of presents, did we mention happy families?!!!

It’s enough to give you the chills! But you are a Burnout Queen so when the pressure hits you get going!

You vow you will..

  • dig in and push harder
  • achieve more
  • write more lists, check them twice (no make that 10 times!)
  • make double the shortbread
  • plan the perfect Holiday menu
  • craft like a crazy lady
  • buy more lights for the house (the neighbours doubled theirs!)
  • get more prezzies for the kids, musn’t disappoint
  • create the perfect decorating scheme
  • and get a reindeer for the front lawn (note to self make that a real one!)

Don’t look up you’re not doneYou…

  • need to paint the guestroom, (it’s tired)
  • order the new sofa in time for the neighbourhood party
  • find the perfect dress for the office party (not too sexy not too prim)
  • make the Christmas pageant costumes (1 angel, 2 shepherds)
  • lose the extra weight by the holidays
  • and love your in-laws by Dec 24!

Welcome to the B-Loop!  It’s a slippery slope with or without snow!

Burnout Queens think it’s normal to be in the Loop! We don’t recognise the pattern.  Well, now you can!  It looks like this…

stress >> dig in >> do more>> achieve less>> stress >>push harder

You live in the Loop with a smile on your face, you make it look easy and no one knows you are skating on thin ice!  And because you make it look so easy-peasy everyone just expects you to do it all again…and again…and again…

Next year it will be different!  We’ve heard that before, but now it can!   Stick with us Darling Burnout Queens and we will show you how to get out of the Loop and stay out!

Until next time…sparkle!   Dr Toby, The Burnout Queens xx

 

Hello from Brighton & London: 5 November 2015

Brighton 12/2015 | The Burnout Queens

Falling leaves, gusty winds and holiday decorations can only mean goodbye Autumn and hello December Madness. The Burnout Pups love running shoulder deep through piles of leaves, squirrel spotting (codename ‘ducks’ so they don’t run after them), and of course showing their proper respect for Remembrance Day.

As for The Burnout Queens, we ‘went to the theatre’ to enjoy the Theatre Royal’s beauty, great music, and dance (Priscilla Queen of the Desert & The Last Tango what fun).

It’s always exciting to hop the train into London, especially when we discover the unexpected along the way. On this trip, a street market in upscale Chelsea. It definitely put us in the mood for holiday shopping at the Physic Garden Christmas Fair, but not enough to try the roasted chestnuts…maybe next year!

Speaking of Christmas, we’ve been told our seaside city holds quite a few quirky seasonal festivities in December… but you will have to wait until our next edition to see them.

Until 2016… Embrace Life!

PS: Darling, come join our Christmas Chaos Charity Champaign 2015 for WaterAid. You get a fabulous gift to destress the holidays and we donate the proceeds to give girls an education instead of trekking for water. A true gift of giving in The Burnout Queen’s style.

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Chaos!
