 10 Must-Have Items For A Relaxing Hotel Staycation In The City

Need a break but have a limited budget, time, and energy for a proper vacation?

Thank God for staycations where you can spend a short break in your home city, staying somewhere else than at home be it a boutique or luxury hotel, resort, or holiday apartment.


It is a great chance to pamper, indulge yourself in the much-needed me-time while enjoying the hotel's amenities to the fullest (hello bathtub and room service)

Although it's just a short break in your city, packing for an overnight trip shouldn't be boring and blah. 

Not sure what to pack for a relaxing hotel staycation in the city?

Check out our list below for ideas.

1. Moisturizing Sheet Mask

A hotel staycation is a perfect time to indulge in this often-skipped skincare step. 

And they are often packed individually so it's so easy to just chuck a few (or a box) into your weekender bag.

I personally like Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Mask:
  • Formulated with 1 week's worth of serum concentrated in just 15 minutes use of 1 sheet mask. 
  • Enriched with anti-oxidant pomegranate extract 
  • Intensely rehydrates skin, reduces the look of fine lines, and revives radiance.
  • The serum absorbs nicely and doesn't leave a sticky gooey feeling
  • Thicker sheet mask
Super-hydrating and revitalizing. My skin is so dewy after application. 

2. Travel Skincare Set

Who has time (and patience) to transfer their skincare essentials into travel-friendly bottles?

Why not just grab a travel skincare set that fits perfectly into that overnight bag?

3. Aromatherapy Bath & Shower Gel

For that luxurious bubble bath of course!

I absolutely adore the Aromatherapy range by Bath and Body Works that will turn your staycation into a spa-level experience.  

It is carefully crafted with essential oil blend and made with aloe and bamboo extract.
  • Nourishing, leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and refreshed. 
  • Absolutely calming, great for stress relief
  • Fragranced with natural essential oils 
  • Fast foaming - luxurious lush lush bubbles to die for.

Psst. It comes in travel size too!

4. Soft, Fluffy Bathrobe

While some hotels provide bathrobes, often they aren't of the best quality. 

You deserve a soft and fluffy bathrobe on your perfect getaway so why not pack one along to elevate your DIY spa weekend?

😍 Cotton Waffle Bathrobe (hotel quality!) - to wrap you in that 5-star hotel feeling every day. 
😍 KOO Teddy Bathrobe - Buttery soft and luxuriously comfortable
😍 SHEIN Bathrobe with Hoodie -Bathrobe with a teddy hoodie, comfy and cute. Just take my money already.

5. The Comfiest Loungewear

Loungewear is your uniform for a hotel staycation.

You need something that is not only comfy but also stylish and presentable for moments when you need to open the door for your room service.

Uniqlo has the comfiest yet stylish apparel ever.

😍 Satin Short Sleeve Pyjama 


Short-sleeved top and pants in satin fabric, easy care feature. Very comfy to lounge in!
If you prefer long-sleeved loungewear, then you gotta pack this along. Added comfort features such as DRY technology and Cool Touch keep you super comfy.

6. Books And Other Reading Materials

Hotel staycation is the perfect time to catch up on your readings. You know, in between soaking in the bathtub, putting on a sheet mask and stuffing your face with food.
Buying books nowadays is so easy. One of my favourites is Big Bad Wolf Official Store in Shopee. 

Convenient, attractive prices and a wide selection of books for the whole family. 

7. One Piece Swimwear



Don't forget to pack your swimwear in case you decided to finally emerge from the room, swim, or soak up the sun by the pool.

8. Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen

If you are going to lounge by the pool, sunscreen is a must to protect you from damaging UV rays.

Well, actually, you should use sunscreen every day even if you are indoors.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk.

We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island.  We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island.  They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us,  then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
