How To Vacation in Your Own Backyard

You can still enjoy total vacay-vibes this summer... even if it's just from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a little creativity and sunshine and voila, the ultimate staycation awaits!

To start the day, pack a bag full of vacation essentials like sunscreen, water, sunglasses, and a good book. Put on your favorite swimsuit and coverup, grab a beach towel, and set up a cute spot in your backyard to enjoy the day.

I’m currently reading When Life Gives You Lululemons by Laura Weisberger.  It’s a fun and easy read that you won’t want to put down, perfect for a staycation. I also created a summer playlist on Spotify to listen to with all of my current favorite songs.

Food and Drink

Prepare a delicious plate of your favorite snacks and a summertime cocktail (or mocktail) to enjoy. For me, a cheese plate was absolutely essential to the success of my at-home vacation. I also made a spicy margarita inspired by one of my all-time favorite NYC spots, Pizza Beach! 

Perks of having a staycation in your own backyard - no travel time needed! 

Plus, puppies are always welcome at home.
