Staycation Necessities

There is always a lot going on in the world, and even though we all deserve a vacation, some of us aren’t able to actually get on a plane and get away this spring break. So what are some alternatives to making your spring break at home a better one?
This coming weekend - what if you made the most of your “staycation”? What if you decided not to go about your day as usual, but make it feel more like a mini vacation? You could add a sense of slowing down and relation in your very now space.
Staycation necessities
If you’re on board with this idea, and you are looking for a few things to make your staycation feel a little extra special, we have a few suggestions.
This staycation is about you just as much as it is about your family. Adding a face mask, a hydrating mist, or a new oil into your routine can give you that sense of comfort that you were craving from some time away. Allow yourself to pamper your skin, and breathe deeply. You’re home, and you’re doing all that you can.
Fresh Scents + A Relaxing Soak
There’s something about vacation that is closely associated with fragrance. Whether your ideal Spring Break would have been somewhere warm and tropical, or hidden away in a forest in the mountains, find a candle that mimics that memory and light it in your home. You’ll find that it takes you there mentally, and puts you in a staycation state of mind. Putting on some music, lighting that candle and adding some bath salts can also transport you into that action state of mind!
This one’s more of a treat yourself moment, but we think you deserve it. Throw your hair up (who has time to style their hair if they’re not leaving the house?) into a messy bun, or use your new clips to create a pop of color and whimsy to your hair. We are very into the messy look around here!
At Home Mani Pedi
Downtime is a great time to pamper yourself; we believe in this daily, but if you are carving out staycation time add this into your plans. Take some time out for a hand soak, maybe even get your partner to give you a relaxing hand massage (or full body!). Then add some fun and fresh nail art and polish. Follow with some lip care and maybe some color! We have these fabulous new lip Duos in the shop by PYT.
Adding a staycation to your weekend plans could keep you from falling in a rut. We’d love to see how you spend your staycation! If you share a photo on Facebook or Instagram, please feel free to tag us and share your experience.
