It seems as if everyone around me is preparing to go on epic vacations. I haven’t been on a proper vacation in forever so I’ve become accustomed to living vicariously through everyone else. The main reason we haven’t packed our bags and jet-setted is because each year we choose to use the money for other things, you know like purchasing a home and for the past two years, we’ve been tackling paying off debt. Though I haven’t been on a trip in a while it doesn’t stop me from reminiscing about the last amazing work trip I had to New Orleans. Even though it was a work trip, visiting New Orleans was at the top of my bucket list, and I enjoyed every minute of myself there even bringing back a box of Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix so I could always have the taste of New Orleans nearby.
Even though I won’t be leaving the state this summer, I’m planning to #bringoutthebold this staycation instead of spending time doing renovations in my home as I did the previous year. I also plan to do it all while staying within my budget. Did you know that swanky hotels allow you to use their amenities for a small fee? Yep, and so with a few of my close girlfriends in tow we’re going to be hanging around the indoor pools and enjoying drinks without having to pay for a room!
For some, this may seem like a pretty boring staycation but to me, it’s pretty bold being able to choose working towards a goal rather than taking part in life’s pleasures like vacations. I’m content in knowing that giving up vacations for a few years while I pay off these horrid student loans only means that when I’m finally able to take a vacation I can do it exactly the way I want without worrying about money.
Whenever I’m hanging poolside, I’m always sure to have my sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, some cute sandals, a camera to capture the memories, reading material, and of course something to keep my breath fresh. Also in my bag of stuff , you’ll always find Listerine Pocket Packs. I love how their small size packs a major punch when it comes to freshening breath. You can also be super discreet when using them for instances when you see that cute guy approaching or for times when you simply just don’t want to share.
So share with me below your plans for vacation are you planning a staycation like me this year or are you planning an epic trip. If so I want to hear about it, and also live vicariously through you!
