Practice Double-Masking, Peeps!

No introduction needed for what's cruelly ruling the world, no, I'm not talking about politicians, but, none other than the devastating pandemic. The best way to abstain yourself from the sinister is to practice diligent habits to protect yourself from getting into the daily cases list.

Besides regular handwashing and social distancing, double-masking has been practiced widely since the emergence of more transmissible variants. Researchers found that the double-masking method could potentially block 92.5% of infectious particles. It's strongly suggested to wear a N95 mask but it might not be affordable for all, so the best way is to double-mask.

So, how do you do 'double-masking'? Some would think that wearing a double surgical mask would help, but it doesn't work that way. Double-masking is about layering a fabric/cloth mask over the surgical mask that has been worn initially. It doesn't work by wearing a cloth mask in and the surgical mask over it too. Get your game right to mask yourself up. Here's a tutorial video on why and how you double-mask yourself.

Considering the 'double-masking' practice, I haven't gotten myself one as some of them are really expensive due to high demand. I wasn't thinking of getting one for me until I thought of double-masking myself when I'm out for vaccination. That was when I stumbled upon a post in one of my favorite groups on Facebook. This kind-hearted homepreneur was offering a giveaway of handmade fabric masks without any obligations to tag friends or to like her page, like things that people request us to do to be eligible for a giveaway. That surprises me for her kind gesture. I messaged her personally and only paid for the postage and Boom! I received a lovely fabric mask at my doorstep yesterday!

Cute packaging, isn't?

I also received a note along with the batik-designed fabric mask. The note was about taking good care of and the instructions to use the fabric mask wisely.

I'm yet to post a picture of myself in the fabric mask but will do it when I'm out sometime. Otherwise, I assure the material is super comfy for daily use. They also sell a variety of fabric mask designs which you can choose from Kay nulife Handmade Shop. For any more enquiries, feel free to contact the founder herself at 012-7554788. 

I know right away the founder deserves a post even before I received the item for her kindness. I was even more particular about it after receiving this beauty. To end this, I would always recommend double-masking practice as it's deemed crucial at this point of time. It's for the safety of us as well as people around us. The saying goes here #kitajagakita (we take care of us). Stay safe, peeps. And, don't forget double-masking and not double-faced ya. LOL, good day!
