Alexa, I used to sleep in my contact lenses a lot and got a corneal ulcer twice. Super painful and had to wear an eye patch, so that's a no! You should get laser surgery!
Actually, there are contact lenses that claim to be safe overnight! I wear them and nap with them, but the thought of sleeping the whole night with them in my eyes is not appealing to me tbh.
Lasik is one of the best things I ever did for myself. Not having to depend on contacts and glasses is amazing! I'm on 12 years this year and always tell my story to others, so that it may help them to decide if they want to get it done as well.
But lasik is not a cure all is it? Your eyes will still age and in your senior citizen days you may still need to rely on glasses to some degree. It is what it is I wear both contacts and glasses. Nice to switch it up when I want
@@brooklynbutter5357 That's the exact thing I didn't want to deal with anymore. I didn't like the idea of my eyes defeating me, and didn't want to depend on glasses. I decided on Lasik, because my eyes are super sensitive and I couldn't wear contacts. This was the best thing I ever did for myself and body. True, you may need reading glasses at some point, but I think by the time I get older, I won't care about wearing glasses sometimes. Lasik isn't for everyone. I have other friends and family that don't mind wearing their glasses either, but then others that can't stand it.
I’m 76 years old and just started to wear contacts two years ago because I needed glasses for everything. I’ve accidentally gone to bed with my contacts on twice. The first time I took them out in the morning because I thought I might have harmed my eyes. But the second time I left them in because I had to be somewhere, wore them all day and no harm. But I have an acquaintance who has “six month lenses”. Her husband has them also and he always wears them longer than the prescribed time. She said his eyes start to bother him after a while though.
Classic cooking times for eggs: just remember 3, 6, 9! 3 min: boiled eggs with runny white and yolk 6 min: soft-boiled eggs with very soft yolk and hard white 9 min: har-boiled eggs with hard white and yolk. Voilaaa!

Omg this is tripping me out - pregnancies are 40 weeks (and we assume 4 weeks per month so 10 months) but really the average month is 4.3 weeks, so the 40 weeks is really 9.3 months 😦
Plus the pregnancy is counted from first day of last period, not actual ovulation/conception, so there's really something like 2 weeks of walking around not-pregnant that is counted as being pregnant. So it really is closer to 9 months.
I think the 10 months refers to lunar months since women's cycles are lunar. A lunar month is roughly 29.5, which is roughly 4 weeks (commonly seen as 1 lunar month= 28 days, or 4 weeks with 7 days a week). Hence, 10 lunar months. I've asked this question before too ;) ha!
This. I have never thought about it. As a Chinese, the 10 months have always seemed to refer to the lunar calendar for me, coz we use it. While learning english, I always heard 9 months or 10 months, and I have never considered that it was wrong.
It's usually 40 weeks from the first day of your last period until your due date, but you're actually pregnant for 38 weeks. They count for the extra 2 weeks as it's easier. 40 weeks divided by 4 is 10 months but most months are usually more than 4 weeks, only February has 4 exact weeks (unless it's a leap year). So if you think about it you're actually only pregnant for around 9 months. It sounds so complicated but I hope it does make sense as it's the best way I can explain it! X
I’m so jealous of how effortless your style is! I’d wear overalls with a silk french victorian top in all black for the supermarket. Idk how to dress casual Alexa! my friends think I’m crazy!
I have an astigmatism in one eye too, contacts while you sleep can lead to infection and even parasites over time as what happened to one unlucky person who never changed them.3.5 minutes,.

@@saveUyghurs lol, sorry, 3.5 mins not 1. Typo. Woops. Mind you, I know people that drink raw eggs as part of some weird body building routine. I'd never though.
Put the egg in a pot of water from the beginning (not boiling). Medium fire. When it starts to boil, set timer for about 3-5 mins (probably more towards 5 mins). Turn off fire. Cool down the egg in a cup / bowl of room temperature water (doesn't matter for how long,. It's just whether you dare to touch that hot egg). Peel egg whenever you think you're ready.
@@ritatocta7583 they were daily lenses, but since i had put them on in the afternoon i didn't actually kept them on for more than 24h, so everything was okay lol
I’ve done this on CA, FL, NY, France, Spain so whatever in regards to elevation. If the egg is straight out of the fridge boil water first then drop it in for 6 min. Perfection. If it’s room temp 5:30.:) you’re welcome.
How to make the perfect egg: 1: boil the water fully 2: carefully add egg/s 3: remove at precisely 4 min 4: add the egg/s into a bowl of cold water (Step 4 is vital because the eggs keep cooking after you’ve removed them from the boiling water unless you cool them down) Also, you’re wonderful.
-Create a hole with smallest needle in the bottom of the eggs (To make the yolk stay in the middle) -Boil the water -After the water boiled, put in the egg -Let it boil for 6min and 30sec -Put the egg on the ice water (To stop the cooking process) -Ding ding done _actually its really depends on the quality of the egg, how many egg u boil, but i believe its around 6 or 7min after the water boiled_
I'm a New Zealander and can confirm that we're full. We've been going through a housing crisis for a while now and it's only getting worse. Traffic is a nightmare. We just don't have the infrastructure to handle the booming population.

Ah! When she mentioned her favorite scents. My jaw dropped. I love rose and tobacco and have been searching for rose + tobacco or sandalwood that doesn’t smell awful. The best so far is rose by le labo. Because clearly Alexa will be reading all of these comments.
@@ritatocta7583 I have been wearing "Air Optix for Astigmatism" for years and they have this rating, as do the other Air Optix versions. I mostly take them out at night but I've also slept in them a lot, including the full 30 days while traveling and never have any issues. My eye doc says she can't see any problems with my eyes related to this. Sometime last year the company came out with Air Optics Day & Night Aqua which they actively market as being for 30 days continuous wear, and when they released them they changed the recommendation for the other Air Optix varieties to 6 days. I'm 100% confident this was just a marketing tactic because nothing has changed about the older versions and the new ones cost 3x as much so of course they want you to buy them.
Eggs: place eggs in a saucepan, cover with an inch of cold water (fit the pan to the number of eggs you have so they're not swimming in a vast ocean of water but nicely cozy with their neighbors). Place on high heat, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Cover and let set for 10-12 minutes (by your description of what you're looking for, I think closer to 10 minute side of the equation.) Uncover, drain, run under cold water to stop the cooking process - and make it easier to peel. Peel (well, yes). Enjoy.
Oh this was wonderful! 1. Only sleep in the contacts if “they” say it’s ok 2. 3mins and then put the fire out and leave soaking for another 2mins 3. Q for you: if you had to combine 3 dinosaurs to create your ideal one, what would you choose? 4. Mars 5. Babies are too complex for me
Thanks for answering my question 😆 that was super cool! Egg-wise, I’d say 5:30 minutes from the point the water starts to boil. 7 minutes for the perfect hard boiled, top-tip: use a teaspoon to peel it when cooled.
A pregnancy lasts 40 weeks which is roughly 9 calendar months - a calendar month is between 4 and 4,5 weeks (28-31 days). The only month that actually lasts 28 days is a leap-year February, as well as 29 days (normal February). The other months all have 30 or 31 days.
i slept in my contact lenses and woke up with them glued to my eyes and the most blurry vision of my life that took hours to go away, never done it again
5 minutes for an perfect egg, from the boiling moment (perfect egg is: egg yolk is firmed from outer corners, but def NOT runny, but also not too liquidish inside- this is perfect EGG. Sometimes boiling time depends on the size of an egg big/small the time can be adjusted for a 15-20 seconds)
About those eggs.... 5 minutes in boiling water, cut the flame and let sit for 5 more minutes and then dump out the water and let the egg sit in cold water for 5 more minutes. Should be soft in the center but you can adjust the setting time if you need.
For the pregnancy question, the answer depends. Most children are born between 37 weeks to 42 weeks. So that's actually shy of 9 months to shy of 10 months. But the weeks are counting from the 1st day of your last menstrual period (assuming you have a 28 day cycle). For a 28 day menstrual cycle, in general, you ovulate in the middle. So that means for the 1st 2 weeks in that the pregnancy week count, you are not with child.
Boil egg: 1. Let the water boil 2. Put in the eggs and drop the temperature down to medium heat (if 10 is the highest setting, put it on 5) 3. Toil have a soft boiled egg (gooey middle) 9 minutes and hard boiled 12 minutes DONE
Re the egg Q: Size, in or out of the fridge and other variables means saying how long is tricky. I worked for a charming old lady once who taught me that the egg is at that perfect stage you describe when you scoop if out of the water onto a spoon and the water begins to dry on the egg shell, bit by bit. Try it! XO
The egg thing. If your egg is at room temperature - strictly 4 minutes with a tablespoon of vinegar in the boiling water - will help guard against boiling cracks. If the egg has been in the fridge - why would you put an egg in the fridge? Put it in cold water in the pot and once it has been brought to the boil - again strictly 4 minutes - cooked white - runny yolk. Yes there will be more dinosaurs.
Answer to the egg question...put the eggs in cold water, turn to high until it boils then take the pan off the burner and let sit for 10 min. (for a soft/hard center), maybe 6 min. for a soft center? Crocodiles, alligators and chickens are all currently living dinosaurs. Just think/intend that "it's going to be calm and peaceful on my time line" OR "that's (the craziness) not happening on my time-line".
Eggs shouldn’t be kept in a fridge as they absorb any smells, so a perfect runny egg is 3 1/2 minutes timed from when the water is just starting to come to a boil and then you immediately turn the water down so it is just simmering x
So when you boil an egg in the shell (aka hard boiled egg) you want to boil it for 6 minutes and then submerge it in ice cold water straight after, this makes it 'jammy' in the middle and perfect, stops it from overcooking. Also, you can come and live at my house in New Zealand, I'll give you a demonstration.
As for eggs, put water on the stove, turn it to the little 4 (1-6 are available on mine) put eggs in right away. When it boils put it away and let cool. Eggs will be nice and boiled 🙂
Hey, Alexa, I know the answer for the boiled egg. Fully boiled the water and insert the egg which is taken from fridge seconds before and wait medium heat for 6-7 mins. I suggest you to soak room/cold water soon enough, and peel.... it’s a bit of orange inside!
They grey ring on the outside of a boiled egg's yolk is sulfur accumulating cause it kept cooking too long. Prevented by an ice bath - I usually just pour out the hot water and run the eggy and pot in cold.
Sleeping with your contact lenses is like playing Russian Roulette, the last time I (accidentally) did it I got an eye infection. Also I read somewhere that the human body physically can't keep babies in until they're fully developed so technically they're ALL born premature hence why other animals' babies can walk like straight out of the womb but babies can't even hold their heads up.
6:40 "Mrs. Prada" is taking a slide out of the office. You failed to mention this slide is not some graceful transition alongside some steps, but rather a descent down three stories, 360° where you have to commit to dropping into a claustrophobia inducing intestinal tract.
Perfect egg. Let the water boil. Put an egg (room temperature) into the water, set timer for six minutes exactly, take out and put into cold water immediately to stop it cooking.

Yes...I probably would have made a similar spectacle of myself (he just gets better with age... ;) ).
Hey Alexa! I have an answer to the pregnancies - they do last 9 months, but if you go to the doctor, they count in your last cycle, too. So the first day of your last period, ovulation and fertilization = 1 month, which they then add up to the 9 months of the time you are actually pregnant. So, there you go, 10 months, but including the month of your last cycle, in which you only got pregnant. 🌈

I worked for a charming old lady once who taught me that the egg is at that perfect stage you describe when you scoop if out of the water onto a spoon and the water begins to dry on the egg shell, bit by bit. Try it! XO
Beautiful background
I love your dress. Thanks Alexa for
brightening up my day
Anybody has any idea where is the dress from? Is it her own label one?
The egg thing. If your egg is at room temperature - strictly 4 minutes with a tablespoon of vinegar in the boiling water - will help guard against boiling cracks. If the egg has been in the fridge - why would you put an egg in the fridge? Put it in cold water in the pot and once it has been brought to the boil - again strictly 4 minutes - cooked white - runny yolk. Yes there will be more dinosaurs.
Eggs not stored in fridge can go spoiled..but i live in a tropical country
Alexa's responses are the best!
Answer to the egg question...put the eggs in cold water, turn to high until it boils then take the pan off the burner and let sit for 10 min. (for a soft/hard center), maybe 6 min. for a soft center?
Crocodiles, alligators and chickens are all currently living dinosaurs.
Just think/intend that "it's going to be calm and peaceful on my time line" OR "that's (the craziness) not happening on my time-line".
The more i watch her, the more I love her
boil the eggs for 7 minutes with salt in the water (for medium eggs) toss them in when the water is already boiling
Just realised Alexa grew up really close to where I currently live and I played football near there a month ago!
My grandmother bought me red shoes! I loved them forever
It made me laugh when she would choose Kate and Daniel as pet names with a serious face lol
I'm obsessed with these videos and her
Eggs shouldn’t be kept in a fridge as they absorb any smells, so a perfect runny egg is 3 1/2 minutes timed from when the water is just starting to come to a boil and then you immediately turn the water down so it is just simmering x
Yes you can wear contact lenses to sleep and be okay. There are correction lenses that only work if you wear them overnight so that’s also a thing...
So when you boil an egg in the shell (aka hard boiled egg) you want to boil it for 6 minutes and then submerge it in ice cold water straight after, this makes it 'jammy' in the middle and perfect, stops it from overcooking. Also, you can come and live at my house in New Zealand, I'll give you a demonstration.
I agree about Miuccia Prada - I love her and would completely follow her advice re fashion and life generally!
I likebyour style specially your hair
As for eggs, put water on the stove, turn it to the little 4 (1-6 are available on mine) put eggs in right away. When it boils put it away and let cool. Eggs will be nice and boiled 🙂
The stuff with the egg: chuck the egg into cold water. Bring it to boil. The soon it starts to boil/simmer, count up to 30. It is ready.
Boil an egg for 7 minutes for it to be perfect, 5 for runny.. you’re welcome
It's 6 mins
I’m Actually Lucie 7:20 to be precise 😂😂
What if the egg is out from the fridge? 😂
It depends on what type of egg and the size of the egg surely?
It also depends on elevation. Water boils at lower temperatures at higher elevations.
Hey, Alexa, I know the answer for the boiled egg.
Fully boiled the water and insert the egg which is taken from fridge seconds before and wait medium heat for 6-7 mins.
I suggest you to soak room/cold water soon enough, and peel.... it’s a bit of orange inside!
genius. love the background set up
I love the Josie dress, Alexa
ADORE HER SM
Keeping Up with Alexa
They grey ring on the outside of a boiled egg's yolk is sulfur accumulating cause it kept cooking too long. Prevented by an ice bath - I usually just pour out the hot water and run the eggy and pot in cold.
Boil water in saucepan. Put eggs in and start timer for exactly! Five! Minutes! Perfect egg every time!
Always a pleasure to watch you. You're funny, clever and beautiful. See you next week
Sleeping with your contact lenses is like playing Russian Roulette, the last time I (accidentally) did it I got an eye infection. Also I read somewhere that the human body physically can't keep babies in until they're fully developed so technically they're ALL born premature hence why other animals' babies can walk like straight out of the womb but babies can't even hold their heads up.
6:40 "Mrs. Prada" is taking a slide out of the office.
You failed to mention this slide is not some graceful transition alongside some steps, but rather a descent down three stories, 360° where you have to commit to dropping into a claustrophobia inducing intestinal tract.
Put egg in cold water, bring to a boil, turn off and leave uncovered for 10 minutes. (I do 11 minutes, but you seem to want it softer.)
Bring water to rolling boil, turn off heat-stay on heat source- gently place in eggs. Do not overcrowd. Time for twelve minutes exactly. Voila!
Perfect egg. Let the water boil. Put an egg (room temperature) into the water, set timer for six minutes exactly, take out and put into cold water immediately to stop it cooking.
yeah, New Zealand!!! Arent we in crazy times tho lol, and can't get out. But would love for guys to come here (when theres no intl travel probs)
"Favorite animal...a wild boar- because you shouldn't be one..." ALEXA is so choice in her witticisms! :D Equestrian sport enthusiasm and the nostalgia of scent stay with you for-ever (to be sure, certain scents make you check your boots). :) BRUCE WILLIS- OMGosh! Yes...I probably would have made a similar spectacle of myself (he just gets better with age... ;) ).
Hey Alexa! I have an answer to the pregnancies - they do last 9 months, but if you go to the doctor, they count in your last cycle, too. So the first day of your last period, ovulation and fertilization = 1 month, which they then add up to the 9 months of the time you are actually pregnant. So, there you go, 10 months, but including the month of your last cycle, in which you only got pregnant. 🌈
I just want questions about her and alex turner...
Imagine people making questions about a guy that you dated years ago..... not cool
They were an iconic couple but that was 10 years ago, and of course she wasn't going to read that questions, I think
I thought she was gonna say her fav fashion decade were the 60s xD
