While I’m away, my good friend Jackie graciously accepted when I asked her to write a blog post for me!! You guys don’t know Jackie yet, but maybe we can convince her to start her very own blog!!
*******************
While B’s on vacation enjoying the sandy beaches, getting
bronzed and living the life of a VS Angel (they just shot the VS Swimsuit edition
in Puerto Rico), we too can have some fun by partaking in our own staycation. I’ve put together the following tips
outlining my ideal staycation. Come sail
away with me!
1.
Anchors
away! Time to Explore
Visiting a new place, a restaurant, museum, gym, local city
or town will be a new and different experience, almost as if I was somewhere
far far away. I have been meaning to
visit Barry’s Bootcamp, which isn’t doable during a normal weekday due to its
location, but would work great on a Saturday or Sunday morning. I am so used to my regular gym that joining
in with a new group at a different gym with classes I’ve never tried would
surely be a new and exciting experience. Fun little tid bit: Kim Kardashian frequents Barry’s Bootcamp, so you know it must be good!
2.
Relax
& Refresh
After I get a workout in and explore, my second favorite staycation must do is to
relax! I would love to try a spa on
Newbury Street in Boston called G2O.
This spa offers a variety of luxurious treatments as well as features a
skylight hot tub, brine inhalation therapy room, an experience room which
combines herbal infused steam and an ice fog shower, based on an exotic Bali
experience! I mean that to me just screams, “I’m on vacation!”
3.
Tropical
Libations!
One of my favorite vacation clothing staples is a pair of Lilly shorts with a hot pink cocktail print. My staycation wouldn’t be complete without a fruity drink that is reminiscent of my favorite outfit! I love muddled fruit cocktails and the best part is they are nutritious (in their own way)!
Enjoying my drinks with a champagne float and a fun straw is a must. In fact, I might just take a picture and instagram my gorgeous concoction #cocktail #beachy # #staycation #cheers!
4.
Life’s
a Beach
Even though I might not be at the beach right now, a staycation is the perfect opportunity to get bikini ready
for when I finally do hit the beach or pool this summer. If I can’t make it to Barry’s Bootcamp then I opt for one of Sarah Dussault’s amazing fitness videos. She is an amazing fitness blogger who I have
been following for years! I noticed, a
video called “butt and cleavage workout” there is no question what this work
out is designed for, exactly the areas that need focus!
Another perk of the beach is an inevitable tan. The best way to fake like I’ve bronzing for a few days is by using self tanner! Of
course it’s important to protect our skin from the dreaded rays that cause
photo-aging (and wrinkles) and opt for the second best thing: self tanner. I recommend Vita Liberata Gradual Tan. The lotion goes on clear so you can apply any
time of day without worry of looking brown and muddy if you head out to go
shopping or grab coffee with a friend.
Another tanner I recommend is a new product from Jergens,
Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse.
Unlike the Vita Liberata which is gradual, you will become several
shades darker after just one application.
However, I recommend applying at night as this mousse is tan colored and
will not look normal until you have taken a shower the next morning.
5.
Because
even staycations must come to an end…
To cap off the end of a perfect staycation I plan to sit back
and let my tan develop while scoping out Pinterest for Spring styling
ideas. I like to evaluate pieces I
already own and use my pins to figure what additional
pieces or accessories I may need to complete a look that’s new to me.
Creating new looks to wear on the weekend or
to work will give you a similar satisfaction of packing and wearing a vacation
wardrobe, at least that’s what I keep telling myself. A few items that are on my
must have list are a fedora, a gold beaded necklace, and the perfect pair of
white pants!
I hope you enjoy these Staycation tips as much as I do! What’s your idea of the perfect Staycation?

I'm always a sucker for sunless tanners – I'll have to give these a go! The spa is a great idea for a staycation!

I'm in need of a good "stay cation" – our schedules are too packed for a full on vacation until at LEAST the fall!! Great post! 😉
Sounds like an ideal weekend or "staycation" It would be nice to explore some new places around where we live and just spend the day relaxing.

Can't wait to hear about your vacay. I will be over here applying sunless tanner in a bottle acting like I went somewhere too….
Biana, hope you're having a blast in PR! Jackie, these are great stay cation tips!
I have planned a staycation for tomorrow and a trip to the salon for a pedicure is in order. Since we are finally getting warm weather the Sunless tanners are coming out of hiding too.
I don't have any summer vacation plans at the moment so I may have to partake in a stay action, cocktails and tans sound great to me!

Any vacation is a great vacation! A dream vaca for me definitely involves great work outs, relaxing on the beach and spa time. You can easily do that on a staycation!!
hope you're having fun B!! You should totally start a blog, Jackie – the more the merrier!
not gonna lie, my perfect staycation would most likely be lots of reading, naps and food. haha!
Staycations can be just as nice and relaxing as a real going-away vacation. Great tips and those Pretty Mojito Drinks are calling my name lol.
Have a great weekend Biana!
Great staycation tips, Jackie!
Wayyyyy jealous of B's beach getaway right about now!
