Faith’s Favorite Frights #6

  Are you ready to tour the web with Faith’s Favorite Frights? It’s Wednesday, and I’m your undead host, Faith McKay. Let's start with something Hocus Pocus themed, because I can never get enough, okay? Boooook? So many of the best things in life are found on etsy, and this is no exception. This Hocus Pocus Phone Case comes from DCVisualArts and is just... so perfect. Next up is an item I think the Sanderson sisters would approve of. It's so... whimsical and pretty and makes me want to ride a bat. Yeah, you read that right. This pill box[...]

Faith’s Favorite Frights #4

Are you ready to tour the web with Faith's Favorite Frights? It's Wednesday, and I'm your undead host, Faith McKay. Let's dive right in with this beauty... That's right! You're looking at a glittering stache, for a vampire. With fangs. And oopsy! A little bit of blood in that mustache. Must be a hazard of the life. #VampireProblems. I super love K. Flay's new album. You've probably heard a song on there, Blood in the Cut, because it was on an EP and it was awesome. This week when I was daydreaming of seeing K. Flay in concert, I went over to the website[...]
