Instead of complaining, make it fashun…

Masks are becoming a fashion statement out of necessity. Why not make it fashionable to keep safe? Trends are about as contagious as a virus (maybe more) and I am all for this trend. Keep it simple and match a solid color mani to your mask or go all out with prints like these beauties did below!

Mask by Swaddle Designs

-Sidenote: I shared this mask recently on Insta stories and got questions about it. So here are the deets: it’s a 3-layer mask which has been PROVEN to be one of the most effective face masks on the market. Designed by Lynette Damir, RN, SwaddleDesigns masks are fitted to minimize leakage around the nose, on the side of the face, and under the chin. Using the most-current research, SwaddleDesigns masks yield superior filtration of aerosolized droplets by using three layers of tightly woven 180 thread count cotton fabric compared to many other commonly used masks. But even better, they are comfortable and breathable, not making you want to yank it off the minute you’re by yourself. Seriously, these are great quality masks if you’re looking for a high quality (and stylish) facemask.
