Face Mask Roundup
Covid, covid, covid. I swear it’s all I think about. I barely go out because the very few times I do - I end up retracing my steps and overthinking any little possible misstep. It’s exhausting and if you struggle with general anxiety, it’s a GIGANTIC stress trap. So masks, although not perfect, save lives! PERIOD. So pretty please with flaming hot cheetos on top, don’t be a piece of basura and just wear one!
And to help you out - I’ve rounded up the ones I’m really liking right now:
I love the pattern and color on this one! The only complaint is that I have a full moon face so it was a little small for my face frame but it might work perfect for you!
This one has been my trusty go-to mask! I love it! I’ve been a longtime fan of Christine’s unique knot work and the little knot detail just steps up the look of a mask. It also has a nose bridge wire so you can pinch it nice and snug. (Tip: You have to reach out to Chris via Instagram or Email to get an order in, no actual listing.)
These are the ones you have to tie yourself - which seems to be a very polarizing design choice. Those that love it are the ones that don’t like the nagging elastic ear tug. Those that hate it probably wear slip-on shoes all the time! Me! Either way - as long as you’re comfortable enough to keep wearing your mask that’s all that matters:)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this one because it smartly addresses those inbetween folk who despise the ear tug AND refuse to tie loosey goosey strings. It looks good and it easily adjusts. (Also check out the designer’s phone cases!)
Cool brand, cool masks. But I will say the lack of nose pinching make me worry about efficacy but if you’re just going out for quick outdoor errand runs without any close contact with other humans, I think these work really well and look great.
Listen, I have a loooooooooong list of masks I’m loving (got nothing but time people!) so let me know if you’re interested in a heads up on discovering more masks so you can keep adding to your growing “saving lives and hiding my double chin” collection.
Also anybody else thinking about DIYing a face mask wall hanger thing so that you can pick and choose one based on your mood/outfit as you head out the door … to the grocery store and back?! Yay! ugh.
p.s. please tag and credit @blockanimal if you find something through me, I’d really appreciate it! I know so many of you are nice enough to DM me but a quick little shoutout tag is my love language so yeah … thanks!
