How about a staycation at home?

Going on holidays can be extremely expensive and can also get a little tiring at times - so the best thing to do when you're looking to relax is to stay at home and enjoy an unperturbed vacation right in the comforts of your own couch at even lesser expense. Here are a few tips:

1) The night before your staycation starts simply get all the groceries and food stuff you need, like you would do for any road trip or vacation - this is to ensure that you don't have to leave the house when you're totally relaxed.

2) Get a pile of movies you'd like to watch, get out all your relaxing comforters and best cutlery and crockery out. The idea is to feel like a king in your won familiar environs.

3) Give the house help an off and make sure nobody drops by to disturb your peace - not the laundry guy not even the domestic help. You can later, post your staycation get someone to tidy your place up. In fact, you can get professionals to spruce your home up even before the staycation, so that you have ultra clean and beautiful spaces to live in.

4) Make the best use of whatever space you have in the house, be it the garden or the terrace. You could set the table anywhere and enjoy an alfresco dinner.

5) You could alternatively also check into a hotel nearby and live there for a few days if you plan to relax.

6) Try touring your won city as a tourist if you feel like going on a proper holiday and find out more about the cultural and infrastructural importance of your own city.
