Everybody loves to get away and enjoy all of the things that a wonderful vacation has to offer. However, not everyone has the time and money to vacation as often as they would like. So I have the perfect solution for vacation lovers that have limited time and money. You can have your vacation destination be right at home.
Typically, people want to relax and have fun when they go on vacation. Well, you can create an amazing and relaxing getaway right at home. It can start the minute you get off work and can be a mini vacation that lasts for one night, an entire weekend or it can continue for an undetermined amount of time. Below are just a few ideas to help you on your way.
The first step is to designate a time for your at-home getaway and put it on the calendar. Then you can begin to plan your rest, relaxation and fun. The minute you get home, kick your shoes off, let down your hair and create your own little happy hour by making a special drink and some appetizers for you and another special person or friends.
You may have a drink that you already love and want to make or you can try something new and exotic. You can go online and look for some different drinks, like the Ricky Ricardo Mojito, which is a rum-based drink that is very tasty and seems to always put a smile on people’s faces. If you prefer a nonalcoholic beverage, there are many wonderful and fun drinks that are alcohol free.
Next you can make a wonderful dinner with your favorite foods. You can create a relaxing atmosphere by dimming the lights, setting the dining table so it looks like one of those pictures in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine. You can also have some fresh flowers on the table and some music playing in the background. If you do not want to cook, you can pick something up on your way home from one of your favorite restaurants or have something delivered to the house.
After dinner, you may even want to run a hot bubble bath for yourself. This may sound corny, but a hot bubble bath can be amazingly relaxing and incredibly fun. Of course, I recommend turning off the lights, lighting candles and playing some soft music as you soak in the hot and bubbly water. You may even want to light some good incense to fill the air with a wonderful aroma.
Another way to treat yourself is to consider exchanging massages with your partner. This is a wonderful way to unwind and relax after a long day or an even longer week at work.
Movies are another way to continue your fun at home. It is always fun to see one of the new releases or you can pick one of the old classics. Do not forget to pop some popcorn or have some other treats to munch on. When you eventually crawl into bed, I recommend lightly dabbing the pillow cases with a soft fragrance that you enjoy. It is a simple but a wonderful touch to stimulate the senses.
It is easy to forget that we live in a city that is a major vacation destination for people from all over the world.
