Home is for the homebodies!
If you want to stick true to the "stay" part of staycation,

1. Try a New Recipe from Pinterest
Let's be honest... Out of the hundreds of recipe pins you have on your food pin board, there's probably less than ten you've tried. I know I'm guilty! 🙋♀️If you need a place to start on some simple recipes for inspiration, check out my board snack shack. It's categorized by breakfast, lunch, dinner meal times and other labels, with desserts included!
2. DIY Home Theatre Marathon
Almost everyone's had a good Netflix or movie binge at some point in their life. Why not add a twist? Using only a magnifying glass, shoe box, and your phone, you can make your own at home movie projector! It's an easy DIY to follow if you search "diy phone projector" on YouTube.3. Write a story
This may sound like a weird staycation idea, but for someone looking to get their creativity flowing, this one's for you! Writing from scratch may come easier to one person than other, let alone writer's block being in the mix. Challenge yourself using writing prompts from random story generators. You might get some pretty wacky plots to guide the story, but it all adds to the fun and challenge.4. Spa Day
It's a classic, and never ceases to fail! Light a candle, turn on a relaxing music playlist, and mix yourself a pleasant aroma using essential oils.5. Paint Night with Bob Ross
If there's one thing on this list you're debating on trying, setting up a paint night following Bob Ross' painting series is not one to miss!
Explore creation!
A staycation doesn't only mean staying at home.

6. Eat at a locale restaurant
It doesn't even need to be a fancy sit-down place. Try out that new donut shop or cafe around the corner. Support a small, family-owned pizza shop. Bring a friend along in the experience!
7. Explore nearby nature trails
Sometimes taking a break and disconnecting from all things digital is well needed. Hike a nearby trail with a friend. If you are up to a challenge, plan and pack for a day trip for longer hikes.8. Picnic n' Potluck
Instead of eating out, host a picnic, potluck-style with some friends! Plan out who is bringing what and possibly have an impromptu photoshoot... 📸9. Visit a local flea market
With warmer weather approaching, flea markets come along with the season. You never know what treasures you may find!10. Food crawl
Treat yourself to a food crawl across your city. Donuts and ice cream, and cupcakes, oh my!
