How to Treat Yourself to a Much Needed Staycation

Lockdown is a good time as any to plan for yourself the most perfect staycation where you can enjoy the simple pleasures of staying in Singapore and making the most of what is close to you by approaching it with fresh eyes and an open mind. You can either stay at home or you can have a luxury hotel do the planning for you so all you have to do is turn up and have the time of your life. Here’s how to treat yourself to a staycation.

1.     Hire Someone to Clean Your House While You’re Out

One of the things about a staycation is that you can do it outside your house without going away for a long time. As such, it would be a perfect time to have someone over to your house for any small renovations or simply to clean everything up and arranging your furniture so that you know you’ll be coming back to a fresh and beautiful house and even that feeling will take away a lot of your stress.

2.     Change Your Attire

This can depend on what you are personally comfortable with taking some of your favourite clothes with you or if you are the type that feels relaxed in a pair of new outfits. If you are the latter, go on a small shopping spree. Buy some comfortable and pretty clothes for yourself that you can look forward to wearing when you are on your staycation. Just because you are not travelling somewhere doesn’t mean you don’t have to dress to the nines and look your best.

If this is not for you, then maybe you could take some of your most comfortable outfits with you when you go on your staycation. Lounge about in a luxury hotel in Singapore with your threadbare but beloved pyjamas.

3.     Order Room Service

The purpose of a staycation is to stay where you are comfortable and make the most of it. So if you book into a hotel the likes of PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore, you can escape the noisy streets outside by sequestering yourself within the hotel’s lush, tropical interiors where natural surroundings are given priority, creating an atmosphere that is cool, inviting and inspiring. You can stay in your room lit up with natural lighting where you can enjoy delicious meals off the menu delivered straight to your rooms so your outward healing can begin from within.

4.     Treat Yourself to a Souvenir

Treat yourself to a little something that will remind you of your staycation. Walk around your hotel and visit its souvenir shops. Whether it is something small like a keyring or a mug take it with you and put it in a prominent place in your everyday life so you can see it and harken back to the time when you gave yourself the space to breathe. Memories can be powerful motivators that will inspire you to power through your mundane daily life in the hopes of achieving more. And you can always go back for another holiday.

 5.     Indulge in a Private Dinner

Whether your planning this staycation with friends, family or your significant other make sure that every dinner is a dinner date. Dress up as you wish and share both love and laughter together over a delicious meal that will be prepared for you at the restaurants. Even if it is a staycation, it is important to feel that you are not alone in your endeavours and that there are people around you who will support you no matter what. Inspire yourself and your friendships with this little gift of a getaway that you give yourself and return to your daily life feeling utterly refreshed.
