Iridology: Is an alternative medicine technique that inspects the iris of the eye (patterns, color and other characteristics) as an aid in determining a patient's health. Iridologists see the eyes as "windows" into the body's state of health.

BONUS--because, well . . .you'll see. 

The eyes are the windows to the soul. And you know who has soulful eyes? Jensen Ackles. Am I biased because I find him incredibly sexy from any possible camera angle? Absolutely. But not only am I swooning over wall-poster worthy Jensen, I've also fallen for his character the wisecracking, funny, bad-boy Dean Winchester in the series, Supernatural. Is Dean the real reason I watch the show? You betcha. Dean is the only character I'll suffer through the scary moments just to watch. When it comes to scary/horror movies, I'm the one quaking in my bunny slippers, curled up in a ball on the couch, clutching onto my magic shield--the striped fuzzy blanket. Ha, just kidding, it's not striped. But you know what does have stripes? A tiger. I am so good at transitions. And because Dean is such a tiger himself,  Raawrrrr, and because this totally relates to this post, and quite possibly every other post I'll ever write, I give you Eye of the Tiger, lip-synced by Dean himself.

Dean Winchester you make me feel oh, so supernatural

****swoon****

It's his smile at the end that just makes me melt.
