This post is sponsored by babbleboxx.com but all thoughts are my own

Have you ever heard of a staycation before? Well if you haven’t it is a vacation spent in one’s home country, home state involving day trips to local attractions. or even staying at home. A staycation truly has no limits on time or days! You can create your very own staycation for a relaxing Friday night or for the whole weekend!

Sometimes carving out that time to create some R & R not only feels amazing but can help recharge your soul!

Today I’m sharing my recent staycation I took for myself and how I turned my home into a staycation resort!

1. Create A Zen Place.

That’s not your bedroom! Other than the obvious place your bedroom try to bring the zen throughout the house. Starting with the bedroom. My favorite place to create a zen place is my bathroom believe it or not! If your bathroom is to cluttered don’t worry I have shared super easy tips and tricks to

If your bathroom is to cluttered don’t worry I have shared super easy tips and tricks to declutter your bathroom under $100 here on The Modern Day Girlfriend.

Create your zen place by adding these special touches:

1.A BOOK:

With that said, if you have a bathtub I highly recommend lighting some candles, drawing yourself a bubble bath with amazing bathing salts, etc and allow yourself to step into the bathtub with a good book! Reading a book is a great way to relax and reconnect with yourself rather than scrolling through social media feeds! The book I am currently enjoying is called My Ex-Life by Stephen Mccauleya bestselling author of The Object of My Affection ( side note: The Object of My Affection was made into a movie with Jennifer Anniston and Paul Rudd. Thought that was a fun fact! To learn more about the author you can check out her website here

My Ex-Life is about two exes that reconnect. A modern look at love and friendship if you will. Someone who is friends with most of her exes this book spoke to me the moment I read the title. I haven’t finished the book but I have enjoyed relating to the story! Get the book here

2. Hair Treatments.

Why I love to do hair treatments in the tub is because it actually gives me time to do them and not wash it out quickly like I do when I am in the shower! Two products I am trying out right now is a thickening hair mask and hydrating hair mask from OMM Collection. Both are reparative , help strengthen your hair & I love the way it makes my hair feel after!

3. A Glass Of Champagne & Strawberries

Because why not. How many times have you watched a movie and you see a woman enjoying a bath with a glass of wine and living her best life and why shouldn’t you! Recently I just found Bodegas Faustino champagne, Spain’s largest producer Gran Reserva wines! It is delicious and not to mention it is aged for 26 months in French in American oak barrels & at least 3 years in the bottle! I MEAN!

4.Skincare

I know this might be something you already do in your bathroom but remember we are creating an atmosphere of true relaxation. Continue to enjoy your bath and pamper yourself by putting your skincare products on as

2. Create A Healthy Menu

Yes, we all agree that when you are on vacations calories shouldn’t count but they do! Don’t dig yourself into that dips & chips with choosing to order a pizza but keep it light and refreshing with fresh fruit, cucumber waters, etc. Creating a spa-like feel to even your diet!

3. Be Active But Protect Your Skin:

I am loving Erin’s Face Sunstick SPF 30. First and foremost because it is Cruelty-Free and sweat-resistant so it is non-greasy it is also sheer so it feels lightweight and easily blendable.

4. Get Comfy

One of my favorite ways to get comfy is to be in comfies! Right now I am obsessed with Bali Bra! It is beyond comfortable and has amazing support! Someone who hates to wear a bra this honestly feels like I am not wearing on but I feel supported!
