Daily Vitamin Sea

By Molly Heintz

For people who truly love the seaside, it’s torture to spend summer days sitting under florescent lights in an office rather than under a canvas beach umbrella. Maya, the editor of the blog Daily Vitamin Sea, can sympathize. She used to live in land-locked Switzerland, but after marrying thirteen years ago, she moved to southern New England and unleashed her passion for all things marine. Today, Maya offers a daily dose of beachiness for anyone who is prone to suffer withdrawal from the breakers.

Daily Vitamin Sea combs the web for interesting info about stylish beach living, seafood recipes, and ocean-inspired products and décor. Maya’s great eye and enthusiasm are evident in the short but smart posts, which always feature fantastic imagery and links. The broad range of topics are linked by a common oceanic theme and make for a fun mash-up of posts, from how to eat sea urchin, to instructions for creating a crocheted lobster toy, to intros to bloggers who write about beach spots around the globe, like the Amalfi coast and Daco Island in the Philippines.

So if you are counting the days until you can build your next sandcastle or eat a fresh lobster roll, get a quick beach fix at Daily Vitamin Sea, or do a little shopping at Maya’s online site, Completely Coastal. Says the former Alpine dweller, “I guess you can say that I’m a total sea nut.”
