Go Postal With All Things Coastal
My Aunt told me once that the reason why some of us are so drawn to the ocean is because everything and everyone was born from it. An interesting thought. There is something magical about being near the sea, which is why many of us choose to inhabit there. For those interested in all things seaside, Coastal Living is the perfect magazine to subscribe to. The issues not only cover home decorating tips and travel advice, but contain numerous articles on health, beauty, food and green-friendly tips.
You can check out their website here for interesting top ten lists and even more on coastal communities. Being a seafood junkie, I was so pleased to find a top ten list for Seafood and Wine Festivals all over the U.S.
