memorial day staycationWell, it’s hands down this will be a weird Memorial Day weekend.  The world has been shut down, social distancing as a way of life over the past few weeks and all plans to travel have come to a halt. Also, due to the overwhelming pause on our daily lives, many people have seen a big drop in income so even if we could travel, the funds just aren’t there. So what to do this Memorial Day weekend? Have the ultimate summer holiday staycation! Here are some fun tips to bring the vacation to you!

Camp out

Plan a “getaway” to your backyard or living room! Pitch a tent and fill it with your fave bedding and bring your wifi enabled tv or tablet for smooth tunes or to cuddle and watch a great flick. Or, if you have an SUV or can borrow one, put down the seats and turn the back into a luxurious bed, park by the ocean, river, or great mountain spot. Either way, don’t forget to bring a great meal, snacks, dessert and/or some wine and bubbly!

Spa Day

If you are in the mood to pamper and relax, turn your bathroom into a spa! Get your bathroom ready for a luxurious bath by lighting candles, adding floral arrangements  having slippers and robes handy as well as some champagne. Give yourself mani/pedis, body scrubs, facials and more! If you have a significant other, throw in some massages too!

Movie nights

Pop that popcorn, make your fave drinks, throw the pillows on the floor and indulge in some movie nights. If you have nice weather and an outdoor space, project movies on a wall and have your own version of a drive in theatre!

The Great Outdoors

While being mindful of the social distancing rules in place, find a nearby nature preserve or mountain with marked hiking trails.  Grab your boots, backpack and water bottle and get moving.  Make the most of the sun and warm weather by taking in all that nature has to offer. Pack a lunch and make a day out of it.

Cooking Competition

What better time to learn how to cook or try that new recipe than to do a fun cooking competition! Challenge yourself and/or your quarantine housemates to do a fun Food Network style cooking competition and then enjoy the meal over laughs and more games.

Virtual Tournament

Start a fun competition with friends and family over video chat! Perhaps a card game, charades or some fun contest to keep everyone active and connected.

It’s a time to get creative but we all need to find ways to enjoy our lives in alternative ways until we can get back to normal. Try to enjoy the downtime and rejoice that Spring is finally here!

The holidays are behind us and we are well into January. How are you keeping up with your healthy resolutions? Yeah, I get it, with everything going on it's tough to stay away from those sweet comforting goodies be it the daily latte, cookie snack or sneaky soda. But we all know that we need to kick the sugar habit to get on that path to optimal wellness. That's why I love @yoursweetkick! 1K 28

There's no denying the new year is in full swing and for many, it's been tough to get back on track let alone keep up with new year's resolutions. That's why I'm so glad I discovered @drinksunwink ! Sunwink uses the world’s cleanest herbs to create beverages that are good for your body (health, mind and mood) and the planet. Use Sunwink in the morning for wake-ups, to lunch digestifs, post-workout recovery, to afternoon boosts. 1K 28

We have made it to the end of 2020 and that’s worth celebrating regardless of how your year went. 🥳 Collectively we have all gone through the oddest year on record and are all looking forward to a better and brighter 2021. I know I’ll be taking the lessons I learned this year into the next one so on that note, I raise a glass to all of you and wish you a happy and healthier new year 🍾 Special thanks to @cass_winery and @geneseoinn for the incredible holiday getaway 💕 #newyear #2020 #2021 #newyears #newyearseve #HvonTour #whereintheworldisthehealthyvoyager #travelshow #worldnomads #instatravel #instashare  #travelgram #travelzoo #wanderlust #instahub #instagood #instago #travel #followme #ladiesgoneglobal #lonelyplanet #gltlove #skyscannerambassadors #femmetravel #luxuryworldtraveler #gtl #femaletravelcollective #travacs #thediscoverer #latinastravel 2K 66
Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 As you can see, I take Christmas very seriously 😂 Haha, a candid photo of me putting on my jacket before continuing to explore the magical @123farmorganics turned out to be my fave ridiculous holiday photo this year. The setting was so magical and while my face looks less than happy and appropriate for this 2020 holiday season, I can assure you that I’m all feels, holly, jolly and all jingle bell rock! I love Christmas, even  more so this year as it is allowing me to spend some comfortable quiet time in my holiday home while reflecting on the year behind me as well as looking toward the year ahead. I am so grateful for all I have and what is to come  and I wish you all a very happy and merry Christmas 🎄 #christmas #holiday #holidayseason #2020 #merrychristmas #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays #christmaseve 1K 23
