    Any chance you would entertain the idea of updating this with another entry that is both a legitimate haunted building as well as the location of one of Washington’s best reviewed haunt attractions, Frighthouse Station?

    Located in the Freighthouse Station in Tacoma, site of not only a fatal train crash but also where dead soldiers during WW2 were stored in refrigeration upon returning from oversees, and built over a toxic waste site… If it weren’t all true then you would think it was a Stephen King novel setting.

    This is where Frighthouse Station offers its yearly immersive haunt experience and this year the storyline is inspired by HP Lovecraft. Going to be a show worthy of the location. Please let me know if you would like to learn more!

#ad You all know that clean beauty products are ve #ad You all know that clean beauty products are very important to me! I hate the thought of putting harmful chemicals on the body, and that an animal had to suffer to make sure it’s “safe”. 

Kiss My Face products give me some peace of mind; they are clean, gentle, and don’t test on animals. They sent me some amazing products for everyday essentials like shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lotion, shave gel, toothpaste, and sunscreen for the face. Everything has been working great, the shave gel doesn’t leave my legs dry after shaving. And I especially love the face cream for sun protection, when I’m outside all day long in the garden!

Purchase Kiss My Face products at @kissmyfaceusa or @amazon
