5 Ways to Create the Perfect Staycation this Summer
Sometimes you just need a break! When packing a bag and heading off on a trip sounds like too much work, consider a staycation. Staycations provide all the benefits of a normal vacation, without having to worry about the stress and expense of travel. Kick back, relax, and read the rest of this blog to create your perfect staycation for the rest of the summer.
Get Some Rest
Plain and simple! Catching up on some desperately needed sleep is often more relaxing than anything else. Allow yourself to sleep in if possible, or make time for an afternoon nap. Power naps can really allow you to recharge and feel refreshed. To most, the secret to a good nap is a nice cool room to sleep in. Turn down your AC in order to get some well deserved rest. If your air conditioning is struggling to keep you cool in the summer heat, don’t hesitate to give Environmental Comfort Systems a call at (256) 308-0032. We’re professionals in keeping your comfort system working at maximum efficiency. With our help, your staycation will be cool and comfortable in no time.
Have A Spa Day
Who doesn’t love a good spa day! There are so many fun spa activities you can try during your staycation. Run a bath, make DIY facemasks, paint your nails, try a hair repair treatment, make your own sugar scrub, try a foot peeling mask, and more! To set the perfect spa vibes, light a few candles throughout your bedroom and bathroom, pick a relaxing playlist to listen to, and get ready to feel refreshed and rejuvenated!
Go Outdoors
Going outside during the summer can be, well, less than relaxing. However, the weather is beginning to cool down and sitting under the morning sun or the moon and stars on a summer evening could be just what you need. Decorate your backyard to be the perfect outdoor getaway. Use lanterns, string lights, hammocks, pillows and outdoor furniture to cozy up on. With these arrangements, you’ll be able to kick back and read a good book in the evening, or enjoy coffee under the early rays of summer sun in the morning. Don’t underestimate the power some fresh air can have!
Take Advantage of Water
Maybe you don’t have a pool or a pond to jump into in the backyard, but there are plenty of ways to take advantage of water in the hot summer weather! Sprinklers are a great option to cool you down, while also providing soothing sounds of running water and even taking care of your grass! If you’re looking for a super fun way to take advantage of water, try out a slip’n slide! You’re never too old to have fun on one of these! Grab a tube and some dish soap to go even faster down the slide. A staycation also doesn’t mean you can’t go a few miles down the road to the nearest park. Drive to a lake or pond and spend the day in the water or on the beach, and head back home after.
Turn Off Your Devices
The constant attention our devices demand can be mentally draining, even though you may not realize it. Distance yourself from your electronics by putting your phone on Do Not Disturb mode or shutting it off completely. Put away your laptop and try to limit your TV time. Instead of using your devices, curl up with a good book, play board games, try some new recipes, or go outside. Having this time away from your devices will be great for your mind and will help you get better sleep at night.
