The newest fashion accessory, the mask.

Once we realized that masks helped stop the transmission of the virus, we began to collect them. It became our newest accessory, and we enjoyed finding new patters and designs. My husband found that he had to get special ones to go over his beard, and everyone complained how much they hurt their ears. This picture is of my Casa de papel (a show that my husband and I binge watched during the lockdown) mask that I bought in Etsy. It's not very breathable, so I don't wear it often.

Rachel's Covid Experience

My Covid experience consisted of a lot of sleeping in, late night Netflix and Disney+ binging, and driving around town when me and my sister got too bored. There wasn't much to do during the time since we couldn't hang out with friends and it was weird having my parents working from home every day but we got through it.
