Who says you have to spend a ton of money to get away? Just stay in your neck of the woods and treat yourself to a staycation. Heck, its more fun to know you still have money in your wallet when you return to reality right?
Need A Staycation?
Take one! No one is stopping you! If they are, well then SCEW ’EM! Make time for yourself, even for a day. No money required.
No Shoes Required
Regardless of what you have planned for your staycation, shoes are not necessary. They are only restricting your freedom!
Take A Bath
Who doesn’t love a nice bath? It relaxes your tired muscles, calms your nerves and your senses. Make your own bath salts and you won’t have to go buy any. Recipe below…
Free Massages!
Ok, so I always recruit my boyfriend to help me out with this one. Try taking turns giving massages with a friend. If that creeps you out, massage schools everywhere are looking for practice bodies… yay!
Chicago School of Massage Therapy
17 N State St Fl 5, Chicago, IL 60602
Want to be a practice body and get a discounted or FREE massage? Call ‘em up and tell them your friends wouldn’t give you one.

Do Cartwheels!
You have nothing to do but what YOU want to do. So why not take a few inversions around the house?
Be Spontaneous
You’re free! Take a ride on the wild side. Ok, you don’t have to go streeking down the street but wouldn’t that be fun?
Go On A Picnic
Every city has a park. So grab some grub and eat out… literally.
Grant Park
337 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601
Take your picnic to Grant Park and sit among the trees. Yes, there are trees and grass there. So relaxing!

Explore Cheap Food Options
Chicago has the BEST deep dish pizza. In fact, I’ve only had it here. Every city has something to offer. Check out what’s near you and go eat it! Only if it’s cheap of course.
Giordano's Pizzeria
1040 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
THE BEST deep dish Chicago pizza EVER!!! That is no exaggeration at all. Go and experience the goodness. Just don’t eat too much.

Don't Forget The Postcards!
So you’re on staycation. Send a postcard to EVERYONE and let them know you spent some time with you.
Staycation In Chicago
Kick Your Feet Up
Create a comfortable environment for yourself and plan your day.
Make Your Own Facial
All it takes is a day of relaxation and a few at home ingredients. Camomile tea bags work great over the eyes to reduce bags and dark circles. Trust me… I do this often.
Sleep In
When your on Staycation there is no need to get up and do anything. Stay asleep until your body wakes up naturally. Ya know, without an alarm screaming at you.
Get Some Lovin'
Spend time with your lover or love interest. Love=happiness right?
Chill With Friends
There is nothing like relaxing with friends at your own place. Make them come to you. YOU’RE ON STAYCATION! Grab some beers and call it a day.
Goose Island Beer Company
1800 N Clybourn Ave Ste B, Chicago, IL 60614
Only the best beer made in Chicago! Yesssir! Grab and few and take ’em back to your place for a good time with friends.

Need A Haircut?
Why spend the money if all you need is a trim? I’m not saying I’m the expert on self haircuts, but its worth a try!
Gro Hair Salon
2119 N Damen Ave Ste 1, Chicago, IL 60647
The self hair cut didn’t go so well? Take a little trip and fix that hair up at Gro. They do a great job and they’re hip and know how to help. Trust me on this one.

Get Out For Some Out Door Activities
Biking is both meditative and gives you exercise. Wow! Who would’ve thought?
Go To The Zoo
Check out some animals on your day off. In reality, these animals always have a day off. Go and look in envy.
Lincoln Park Zoo
2200 N Cannon Dr, Chicago, IL 60614
The Lincoln Park Zoo is FREE every single day! I would suggest avoiding it on the weekend though… a little too crowded.

Go Bird Watching
Even if it’s just the pigeons.
Get Out And Take Some Pics
The world around us is an interesting place. Why not get creative and document it?
