Creating a Relaxing Atmosphere
The first step to a successful staycation is setting the mood. Turn your home into a relaxing retreat with these simple ideas:
- Declutter and Clean: Start by tidying up your space! A clean environment promotes relaxation and reduces stress.
- Candles and Aromatherapy: Use scented candles or essential oil diffusers to fill your home with calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus.
- Comfortable Spaces: Get some cozy throws, pillows, and blankets to create inviting lounging areas.
- Soft Lighting: Use fairy lights or soft lamps to create a warm and relaxing ambiance.
A staycation is the perfect time to pamper yourself. Here are some self-care activities to try:
- Home Spa Day: Treat yourself to a spa day at home with face masks, a bubble bath, and a DIY mani-pedi. Top it off with a refreshing drink in hand, such as The Original Donut Shop® Iced Refreshers K-Cup® Pods! Win your very own Keurig® Brewer and The Original Donut Shop® Iced Refreshers K-Cup® Pods HERE!
- Mindfulness and Meditation: Set aside time for meditation or yoga to relax your mind and body.
- Reading Nook: Create a cozy reading nook and dive into that book you’ve been meaning to read.
Keep the fun going with these entertainment ideas:
- Movie Marathon: Plan a movie marathon with your favorite films or series. You can even build a fort with the kids to make this even more memorable! Don’t forget the popcorn!
- Game Night: Organize a game night with board games, card games, or video games.
- Virtual Travel: Explore the world from your couch with virtual museum tours, online cooking classes, or virtual reality experiences.

I enjoy a self spa staycation. I do my nails, color and deep condition my hair, exfoliate my skin and pamper myself.

Ideal staycation is to have a picnic at the beach.

I would love to have a staycation on a week where it is good weather so I can sit outside on the porch and read with my cats. I would also like to catch up on TV shows.

My ideal StayCation is attending the outdoor events in our community , picnics at our local Metroparks , and going to baseball games, and of course taking the dogs for walks.

I'd love to cocoon at home. Set up a big charcutier board (and shoo the cats away from it!) and a champagne station to make mimosas or bellinis. Then we'd pull out our favorite film noir DVDs and have a movie festival.

An ideal Staycation involves a few days of long walks, excellent food that I have plentiful time to prepare, and the reading of many good books.

My ideal Staycation is relaxing at home with my family as we camp in the backyard and swim in the above-ground pool! Hot dos and burgers are on the grill, music & laughter surrounds us, and ice cold lemonade never runs out.

Laying in a hammock, listening to music, and having a cold drink while reading a good book.

Probably because it is a part of our town, I have never rented a cabin out in the woods. It would be like a staycation since I am so close to home and know the area so well, but renting a place I don't have to clean daily and to get away from the main part of town wayyyyyy out into the woods with no noises from other people speakers would be heaven for me. So it would be a hybrid stay&awayvaction! That would be my ideal one right now.

I love exploring things around our town/near by towns that we normally don't make time for. It's so fun to take a day and deep-diving into a new neighborhood.
