She's Got The Moon In Her Eyes

Something keeps happening to me and it totally creeps me out. I go in these cycles where I seriously think about throwing all of my conventional soaps and cosmetics out (bat poop lipstick and all) and buying only organic natural vegan cosmetics...so I get online and start looking at different companies and products because you have to be very choosy, you know. I would prefer vegan products if possible (not that I am a good vegan because I suck at it) but because I aspire to be...and then I think to myself that for the high cost of these "natural" products I could just use some sort of Witch Hazel and Tea Tree Oil concoction that I already have all the ingredients for and it would be just as good as a $12.00 bottle of whatever the Organic people are selling and so I go looking for recipes and always end up on a ton of witch and Pagan sites. The creepy thing is that I find most of the stuff I find extremely interesting and feel like I can relate to it all somehow. I don't think I believe in love potions or spells or any of the hocus pocus but I think there is something strangely appealing to the rituals centering around very earthy natural things. What is creepier is that most of the natural beauty recipes and concoctions I have found I already knew and have used because the women in my family always used them. Things to do that were always considered "old wives tales" or whatever. If this is the case then I should be all into the hypnosis thing then huh? I guess at the moment I was considering the source more than the concept. In retrospect, I still don't think I buy hypnosis.
