With everything that's been going on lately, it’s no wonder many are taking to summer staycations instead of traveling.
This summer, we may not be able to go and travel, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use your vacation days or enjoy your summer break. Make this year a staycation year! Keep scrolling to find 8 ways to enjoy your summer staycation.
First and foremost, turn off all work notifications, emails, and phone calls. Place a ‘Do Not Disturb’ setting on your phone and computer, so you don’t have to worry about anything work-related. Also, set an automated email explaining that you are out of the office. Remember, this is your stay-cation, so even though it’s tempting to look at work emails while you are at home, you’re off the clock.
No work means staying up as late as you want and sleeping till whenever your body decides it’s time to greet the day. Between work and your daily life activities, you deserve and need to sleep as much as you can during your vacation at home. Once you go back to work, you will feel refreshed and ready to take on the day (and read 100+ work emails.)
You’re at home enjoying your vacation, so why not get some vitamin D by sitting outside soaking up the sun. Since you’ve been cooped up inside most of the year thanks to work, you need to enjoy everything the sun has to offer for your body. And who knows, you may get a tan.
Even if cleaning and organizing isn’t the ideal activity you want to do while you are on vacation, getting it done and out of the way will make your life 100 times easier. Dedicate a few hours of your vacation to doing the tasks that have been on your to-do lists for months whether it is weed eating the yard or cleaning out the attic. You may complain now, but trust us, you’ll be thanking us later.
Since you spend most of your day at work, you may not be able to watch everything on your watch list. Take this free time binge watch a tv show or two that you have been wanting to watch. You can find a ton of shows on streaming services like Netflix and Hulu.
With this extra time at home, now’s the time to try out that difficult recipe you’ve always been wanting to try. Whether it is breakfast or dessert, you can find thousands of recipes online of anything you crave. Plus, you may discover your new favorite dish!
You may have had to cancel your spa trip thanks to COVID-19, but don’t worry because this stay-cation bring the spa to you. Set up a bubble bath, manicures, pedicures, face masks, and wine and enjoy pampering yourself. There is no need to cancel self-care as well.
Another great way to enjoy your summer staycation is to crack open a new book and read the day away. The New York Times Best Sellers List has a ton of new books that you can check out. This activity is best done cozying in bed!
