Staycations are here to stay as traveling afar seems less doable without safe air travel or an RV. But that's just fine with us homebodies. Vacaying from the comforts of home gives us time to relax and reset while enjoying a good book, listening to our favorite podcasts, even taking a creative online class. While we're at it, these super comfortable weekend clothes, at-home spa treatments, and things to really make home feel resort-y are the perfect getaway without actually having to spend a month's rent to get away. Enjoy!
