  COVID-19 Christmas

  This year, Christmas was normal for the most part. I had my one side of my family's grandparents and cousins over but I was not able to see the other side of my family. We didn't go shopping or to amusement parks like usual but we still had fun. I played golf and watched my cousins play tennis. I got shoes for Christmas and a guitar. I am super grateful that we stayed healthy.

  Face masks made by Keen shoes.

  I recently ordered a pair of shoes from the Keen shoe company. When they arrived, I opened the box to find four stylish face masks made by Keen. The card suggested I keep some for family members and give some to any health care workers I know. For me, this is an indication that face masks have gone mainstream-- they are now a branding opportunity, an opportunity to build customer loyalty. I've been using flimsy blue medical-style masks for the past couple of weeks. They are about to fall apart, so I appreciated Keen sending me sturdier masks. This was a pleasant surprise. I may be wearing these for months to come.

  Tieks #sewtogether campaign

  Tieks, an online retailer of foldable flats, started a campaign to get masks sewn for healthcare workers. Because of the shortage of masks, healthcare workers are reusing disposable masks or even going without. Tieks is offering gift cards for customers that sew masks and then donate them to local hospitals or other healthcare sites.

  Shoe Ads in a Time of Crisis

  Companies are doing their best to keep up cash flow even amidst a pandemic. At first, it was a bit funny, but it's starting to seem ridiculous that they're trying to convince us we need a new pair of shoes to sit alone on our own couches.
