Find a “Beach” in Your City
Hotels with rooftop infinity pools or a friend’s balcony turned into a sun deck. Don your favorite strappy top and high-cut swimwear—no cover-ups required.
Try a new neighborhood like it’s a new country
Pick a part of the city you rarely visit. Walk around like you’re a tourist. Browse a weekend market. Try that cafe with the name you can’t pronounce. Bring your film camera. Snap pics like you’re on day two of a Euro trip. (Bonus points if there’s gelato involved. 🍧)

Go for the closest version of your favorite escape
Still dreaming about Japan? Slide into that ramen bar you keep bookmarking. We’re not saying it’s the same, but your brain loves a theme, and so does your IG Story.
Sunset Watching > Doomscrolling
Hunt down your city’s top golden-hour views. Queue up this playlist and show off your camera-ready glow. Sunset watching hits different when you treat it like an actual activity, not just background vibes on the ride home.
Pop into a Wink Laser Studio detour
No airport. No layover. Just a quick laser hair removal session for vacation-level peace. Walk in, get Winked, and emerge ready to conquer any adventure.

Book a staycation
Check into chill mode. Stay at a local Airbnb for a night. Change the scenery without changing the time zone.
Bonus: Bring a friend who’s also stuck in “wanderlust with no flight” mode. Instant bonding.
Ready for Your Next “Vacation-Level Peace”?
Your next trip might be on the horizon—or it might be this weekend, around the corner. Either way, Wink’s quick, no-downtime laser treatments are the ultimate pit-stop to keep your skin as adventure-ready as your soul.
