4 Tips on How to Have a No Cost Stay-cation

This post is sponsored by Jergens®.

It’s not always practical to plan a vacation, but sometimes life gets hectic and a break is necessary. That’s when planning a stay-cation can come in handy. There are many different ways to have a stay-cation and there are certainly no rules, but I have my own way of doing things and I wanted to share my tips.

• The first and maybe most important is lounging. Take some time to catch up on your favorite magazines, unwind with some good chick-lit books and get some rest!
• I am fortunate enough to live by the beach, in a location that other people go to for vacations, so incorporating beach time is a no brainer. A chic bikini and cute towel are obvious, but you don’t want to go out there looking pale. I recently tried Jergens® Natural Glow® Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse and loved it. I am really into self-tanning and mousses are my favorite because they are easy to apply. This one doesn’t smell, goes on fast and easily, and gives you an instant glow. Truth be told, laying in the sun isn’t my thing so I can usually be found on the beach sitting under an umbrella. Using self tanner has become part of my normal beauty routine. The collection also includes Jergens® Natural Glow® Color Primer In-Shower Scrub to exfoliate before applying and Jergens® Natural Glow® Tan Extender Daily Moisturizer to make the tan last.
• Of course pampering yourself is also important on a stay-cation, so I opt for a bath, an at home facial and a pretty pedi. This will help relieve stress and help you to relax and feel rejuvenated.
• If you like to be a bit more active, a good workout is another great stress reliever. Get some really cute workout gear, download a playlist that motivates you and get your sweat on!

I hope these tips inspire you to take some time for yourself. They require no effort and the best part is they don’t cost a thing!

Life’s too short to spend hours in the sun. Tan in an Instant with the Jergens® Instant Sun ™ collection.
