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 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.

My ideal staycation would include candles, cold drinks like lemonade, books, & take out Chinese food. There would also be my favorite snacks & I'd mute my cell phone!

My ideal staycation would involve getting food from a new local restaurant and having a game night with our teens and then my husband and I watching a movie.

For myself, I'd prefer to use candles and aromatherapy and have a movie marathon and some snacks!

Ideal staycation would definitely involve the young lady who has a mobile massage business. I would also eat out every meal or have carryout on paper plates so I did not have to do the dishes ha ha!

Getting someone to cook for

Good food, movies, fire, relax, sleep in and don't answer the phone.

Plan your meals in advance so this would reduce the amount of times you need to go back and forth at the store. This would leave more time for you to relax in your cozy home.

A spotless home, indulgent foods, great company, good conversation, lots of quiet and rest/relaxation time.

Staying overnight at a really nice nearby hotel would be nice!

I need to set the scene and create a relaxing atmosphere--The house hardly feels like an oasis! I love the idea of candles to take me to another place too!
