Caraa Face Masks

We have a basket filled with masks. We won’t leave the house without one. Being our age really limits what we can do - which means we walk in the park and take car rides to nowhere. Groceries are delivered and everything else is ordered on line - masks, cleaning products, and anything virus related. It’s getting to be rather dreary especially when we see everyone else hanging out with friends and family - without masks. It seems we live in an alternate universe. One of the first masks I ordered were from Caraa. We really liked them because they were light, and had a “shiny” parachute type of material on the outside and cotton on the inside that created a great “seal.” You can also add additional protection by inserting a filter in the pocket. Supposedly the filters last seven days, but the mask needs washing much more frequently - especially in the stifling hot temperatures. So as not to have to wash masks by hand every day, I ordered another bunch - they come in packages of five. This time there were several color options, and the ear piece could be adjusted. They looked nice when they arrived, but they were now two layers of cotton and no “shiny” side out. The filter pocket placement was changed and the ear adjustment was a plus. The “seal” however, wasn’t as good. It was a bit disappointing, but we will use them around the building or in the car. We also have KN95 masks if we ever need to go inside - doctor appointment, car repair, etc - but we try to avoid that at all costs. One of my friends once told me you needed to always have something to look forward to. I really can’t think of anything.
