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 would say a game night or a bonfire night on our patio.

I like to read on my deck and watch the loons and geese on the lake. The eagles that I see sometimes are a bonus.

My favorite staycation idea is to spend a day perusing antique shops and boutiques in a nearby town, maybe get some lunch or dinner someplace new that I haven't tried, take the short drive back home, and then turn in for a good night's sleep in my own bed.

My perfect staycation would be a food delivered to my home, watching movies with my hubby. Having a cocktail or two out on our deck.

A perfect staycation is having a clean house and planning the day of jigsaw puzzle, movies, and sitting around a smokeless fire. We eat popcorn with the movie and make smores outside in the fire! It's always a lot of fun.

My staycation would include a spa and snacks.

My ideal staycation would be no cooking or household tasks and just being able to do my arts and crafts hobbies or watch some of my shows or movies.

My ideal staycation would blend relaxation and creativity. I'd start with a home spa day and a movie marathon with homemade snacks. Exploring new recipes, having an indoor picnic, and taking virtual tours would add variety. DIY projects, gardening, and a reading marathon would keep me engaged, while a new workout routine would keep me active. This mix of activities would make for a perfect staycation.

I would like to try the Virtual Travel activities. I would enjoy virtual travelogues, virtual museum tours, read books about a certain area, and cook and eat foods from that area.

My ideal staycation is cooling off at the neighborhood pool with a good book.

I like to play board games.

Relaxing on my recliner. Reading my favorite book and drinking some new refreshing drinks.
