No, not the kind that involves your trying to pretend the futon in your basement is actually a pool-side lounge chair (though if you have the imagination to pull that off, kudos to you), but a real life, socially distant or solo staycation somewhere close to home.
Let's just say if you're looking for a refreshed perspective, some serious self-care time can help.
Take it from Nike trainer and Fhitting Room lead instructor Tara Nicolas, who changed up her scenery (and gave herself a well-being refresh) by booking herself a self-care weekend at The Ritz-Carlton® Bachelor Gulch in Colorado using her Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card.
The menu of new experiences she tried on her personal staycation ranged from a soothing mineral mud wrap to an adrenaline-pumping snowmobile tour (read: spend a little extra time on your self-care routine and get outside). We don't want to ruin the ending of the video, but let's just say if you're looking for a refreshed perspective, some serious self-care time can help.
Plus, if you use your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card to book your staycation, you can enjoy benefits such as $300 in statement credits each year of card membership for purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels, complimentary Marriott Bonvoy™ Gold Elite status, and a $100 property credit for qualifying charges at The Ritz-Carlton® (or St. Regis® brands) when you book direct using a special rate for a two-night minimum stay. Terms apply. Now that's how you plan a staycation your former vacay plans would be jealous of.
Watch the video above for all the dreamy deets on her self-care weekend (so you can start planning one for yourself).
