She has that kind of personality that is so addictive and no one can hate

[@TrueWalker88]

That personality trait of being gorgeous? That's the main reason people like her. If she looked different, she wouldn't be so interesting.

[@sonmi2246]

​​@@TrueWalker88incorrect. While she is physically very beautiful (obviously), I know/know of plenty of women-- celebrities/models and a handful of women whom I know personally-- who are just as, or *more* physically attractive, but who do not possess even a fraction of Alexa's charisma, wit and overall allure. Like it or not, her charming personality enhances her beauty and *is* in fact what draws so many people (especially women) to her. If she was just another beautiful face but with the charm of a cement block, you would not see this amount of interest in her-- and again, particularly from other women.

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!

[@mania.v]

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.

[@tmsalvatore]

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.

[@brooklynbutter5357]

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

[@tmsalvatore]

@@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.

[@maryleary3308]

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.

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 😦

[@BadHattie]

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.

[@nadjak3410]

@@BadHattie But many women with their first pregnancies are overdue for like 2-3 weeks as well. So that's closer to 10 months.

[@shabyheltay]

I'm pregnant with my 5th child and I've still not figured this out 😂

[@kathrynfarmer9859]

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!

[@joannaxuan4265]

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.

[@dutchirishgirl]

I remember the time when I used to have a once-a-year yen to scour youtube for vids of Alexa Chung, but always ended up seeing the same once over and over. What a treat it is that the queen herself now films new content! Woohoo

[@asselshigayeva7240]

The answer about favorite fashion decade was just brilliant 😁

[@alanad5577]

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

[@nadiaprater4645]

I’ve had two pregnancies and both felt like they lasted about 5 years

You are GOALS Alexa 😍 love that you played waitress for D'Caprio 😂👏 smart, funny and beautiful. Thanks for being you! And getting on KZbin!

[@mee4727]

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.

[@closingscenes]

[@jessicanorman6502]

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.

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.

[@beverlyf6603]

@@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.

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.

[@ChewieAndersson]

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

[@EdwinaSY]

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.

[@georgehudson2878]

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.

[@stanbalo]

Eggs not stored in fridge can go spoiled..but i live in a tropical country

[@kamilababjakova837]

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. 🌈

[@amberwarren100]

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.

Re the egg Q: Size, in or out of the fridge and other variables means saying how long is tricky.
