How to Beat the Post-Vacation Blues with the Magic of Hotel Collection

Vacation is good for the soul.

Whether you’re relaxing on a tropical beach or hiking through the mountains, it’s important to take some time away from responsibility to simply enjoy your favorite pleasures. But when it’s time to go back home, it can be hard to get back into the swing of things. Maybe you miss the carefree atmosphere, the delicious food, or the exciting adventures.

The post-vacation blues can hit hard, so why not shake things up when you get back home?

Find the Recipe for Your Favorite Meal from Your Trip and Cook It

Recreate your favorite meal from the trip.

You may not be waited on hand and foot anymore, but you can still indulge in a delicious dish. Once you gather the ingredients, play some music that reminds you of your vacation and get to cooking. You’ll be able to reminisce on your time there while spicing up life at home.
Clean Your House Before Your Vacation

Clean and organize your space.

Giving your space a deep clean before your trip will allow you to return to a clean home, reducing the stress that the post-vacation blues can cause. But if you’re reading this after your trip, don’t worry. Challenging yourself to a cleaning and decluttering regimen when you get back can clear your mind and motivate you to get back into your routine.
Print Out All Your Photos from the Vacation

Print your favorite vacation photos.
