In Zagreb, a look at traditional Croatian clothing that women in the area wore all the way until the 1960s! |
Coming from New York City, the actual trip to Europe was much easier than the days when we'd have to travel to Croatia from Phoenix. After a quick 7.5-hour flight to Zurich, we made it to Zagreb on a Sunday afternoon with plenty of time for a city tour and dinner.
Even though the flight was less painful than in the past, there were still a handful of things I probably couldn't have survived the plane ride without. Sure, my husband thought I was a tad weird when I started my mini spa session 45 minutes before landing but, hey, we had to hit the ground running as soon as we got to Zagreb. (Including a special project that I'm excited to share very soon!)
Honestly, Repechage's Eye Rescue Pads saved my life on this trip. OK, maybe I'm being dramatic. Still - I didn't sleep a wink on the flight (sadly, our Swiss Air plane wasn't as comfortable as I'd expected) so I was grateful for these. They come in a travel-friendly pack of 14 and are full of all kinds of antioxidant goodness as well as skin-soothing chamomile, moisturizing algae, and energizing caffeine.
I didn't sleep on the flight, but I was still as comfortable as possible in the cramped quarters with this sleep set from Fab.com, which comes with an eye mask and pillow that fold up into a tiny little pouch. And, I definitely used my fair share of moisturizer from Ava Anderson Non-Toxic. I first fell in love with her organic and natural beauty products a couple of months ago when I wrote about healthy deodorant alternatives and was glad to have this happy little jar along for the ride.
Before we left for our trip, I went on a "little" bit of a shopping spree and out of all the things I bought, I'm most happy with two solid purchases: a new pair of Converse All-Star slip-ons to replace ones I'd worn out and this adorable cross-body bag from Olivia + Joy.
Ever since we hit the Croatian coast, I've basically been living in two tops that I got from Cabana Life, which makes SPF clothing that you'll actually want to wear.
So there you have it - my Croatia travel bag. Now, it's time to get back to the beach...
What are your favorite purchases you've made this summer?
Although the water was pretty cold when we went I really enjoyed my time at this beach. The water is soo clear and there are some cool lounges/beach bars you can hang out at during the day.
