Years ago I bought a bandanna at the Theodore Roosevelt House gift shop in New York City (I highly recommend it, and it’s free!) because I thought it was unusual and fun. It sat on a shelf since that time, because I couldn’t come up with a way to…

My face mask is boring. I’d like to think it doesn’t reflect me. At the onset of the pandemic, every time I went to purchase something more creative I got a sick pit in my stomach. This shouldn’t be taken as a fashion accessory. This act could…

My mom made this face mask first. It was too thick and hard to breathe in. She made different masks that had a space for a filter. Wearing the mask at first took a little getting used to. I wear glasses and they would fog up with the mask on. I…
