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.

Cleaning and organizing would be key in our household, I can't relax in the house if it's messy!

I would love to relax at the pool and pamper myself with skincare products and a great dinner and friends.

A staycation would include physical activities outdoors such as hiking or playing pickleball as well as relaxing outside and sharing a meal with family and friends.

I need to Declutter and Clean!

We do a TV Binge a thon - introducing our kid to TV shows we love. We just finished Psych (plus the 3 movies!)

My ideal staycation is sitting on my lawn chair in my backyard and just resting and relaxing. My backyard is quiet, serene, and I enjoy bird watching in my backyard. The staycation activities that I would like to try is virtual travel and movie marathon. Since I would be home during a staycation, it would be fun to check out museum tours from other countries. It would be like I traveled to another country to visit their museum. As for movie marathon, I would like to watch all the prior Bad Boys and Beverly Hills Cop movies to get me prepared for the latest sequels of those movies.

My ideal staycation is no cleaning, movies, and grilling out!

Game & Puzzle Nights are ideal! I'm probably the only person who hasn't played cornhole and I'd like to try that this summer.

My ideal staycation is having a clean house, grilling & eating outside, then a family movie night.
