✨Gold in Her Bones

She walks like temples knew her name,

each step a torch, each breath a flame.

Gold doesn’t glitter—she became.

Her skin reflects the dusk and sun,

a holy blend of many ones.

She speaks, and silence comes undone.

She is the altar and the rite,

wrapped in obsidian and light.

A priestess born of star and night.

Cleaning Bones!
Step 1: Prepare the bones! Remove as but flesh and tissue as possible. This can be done with a knife or let the insects do the work for you like I did! Step 2: Boil them Bones! Place bones in a large pot of water making sure they are covered completely. (Optional: add dish soap to degrease)

Feel your brow and check for small “knots.” It’s not bone, it’s tension in the corrugator muscle that creates frown lines. Massage from the inside outward using your knuckle, even during skincare. This helps release tension and reduce frowning over time. #KokoHayashi #KokoFaceYoga #FaceY
