i woke up
brushed my teeth
took a shower
started on skincare
quickly got dressed

i’m trying out

i love the packaging
and i also really enjoyed how this felt on the skin
i’m definitely going to be using this often
did some really light makeup
my friend told me about this deodorant called
wild and pure
it’s really good
it’s
really
good
it’s really
good
and here’s my OOTD
top is fruity booty
skirt is paloma wool
my boots are from miista
super comfy
super
comfy
headed to the kitchen to boil an egg
first thing
fill the pot with enough water to cover the egg by about one centimeter
then bring it to a full boil before you add anything
this is super important!!!
this is
super
important
this
is super important
started the water
got the egg straight from the fridge
fridge cold is key for consistent results
gently lowered it with it
gently lowered it in with a big spoon
gently lowered it in
with a big spoon
and then slightly turned down the heat
so it’s not getting bashed around
and the water is still at a gentle boil
so it’s not getting bashed around but the water is still at a gentle boil
so it’s not
getting bashed around
but the water is still at a gentle boil
and then started a timer
egg goes in
after 3 minutes
you have a kind of a dippy egg
only the outer whites are set
yolk is fully runny
you can’t even peel it
at this point
it’s more of a dipping situation
after 6 minutes
runny yolk stage
whites are barely set
yolk is still runny
a little delicate to peel
at 8 minutes
it’s soft boiled
and this is the sweet pot
and this is the sweet spot
honestly
this is the sweet
spot
honestly
the yolk is just set
still jammy and creamy
whites are fully cooked
my personal go-to
10 minutes, hard-boiled
fully cooked all the way through
firm but not dried out
i went with 8 minutes
transferred it
into a bowl of cold tap water
for ten minutes
transferred it into a bowl
transferred it into a bowl
of cold tap water for 10 minutes
no need to waste ice by the way
cold tap water is totally enough
peeled it from underwater
and it came off so clean
i always feel like such a new person
i always feel like such
a new person when i get the perfect egg
i always feel like such a new person when i get the perfect egg
i always feel like
such a new person when i get the perfect egg
i always feel like such a new person
when i get the perfect egg
i always feel
like such a new person when i get the perfect
egg

hi
you have heard this before
you call out
sun throws a hard shadow
you can stay here
forever
voice without body
this is your form
please turn these dead cells into new worlds
i summon words in a language that is not my mother tongue
stomach full with breath
i cast myself into something
i’ve seen somewhere else before
at night i wake up thinking
i forgot to ask how your weekend was
to speak in tongues
in a language misunderstood
to speak too much
talkative nymph
zero
oh
zero
oh
zero
oh
oh
zero
what’s worth preserving when everything is dissolving?
i’m gonna need resources if i wanna buy myself some time

start the clock
age
my eggs
time
my eggs
money
my eggs
age

this isn’t even my final form
some distortion is expected but this is a little much
there are limits to these things
extracting eggs
is it stealing
if i take it by accident
