Coastal Halloween

Halloween costumes with a coastal theme can be great fun. Don't go to the halloween party dressed as someone else who is emulating a politician or person in the news. At the beach, it is fun to be a pirate, a mermaid or even an animal such as a lobster or dolphin. Your pets can get in on the act too...use your imagination and have a beachy halloween.

Breathe that Salty Sea Air

With uncertain economic times, it is a treasure to take a walk along the seashore and breathe in the salty sea air. Enjoy nature and keep your perspective on what is truly important in life: family, friends, health and happiness.

Make Money at Home

With the downturn in the economy and increasing costs to support your coastal home, it may be time to find some additional revenue streams. You can make money while enjoying your coastal home. Following are some suggestions:

1. eBay. Sell coastal home accessories or other coastal treasures such as sea glass you have collected on the beach.

2. Share your expertise as a writer on a site such as eHow or Associated Content. Becoming an eHow member is free and can ultimately generate a stream of passive income for you as you write more "how-to" articles. For example, you can write about how to do various things that pertain to the coastal home.

3. Become an online tutor and help a student ace an upcoming exam or complete a scholarly essay. There are various sites that hire tutors - some will require that you become "certified" as part of the application process.

Find something that suits your personality and fits into your schedule. This will make the experience rewarding and ultimately make earning some extra income something you will enjoy.
