How to Wear, Use, and Clean a Reusable Face Mask, especially during 4th of July Weekend

July 2, 2020
1Shares

Face masks aren’t just a style statement. They’re for your health too. So, when I see dozens of people entering a business or the local grocery store without a mask or it sitting on their chin, I want to flip my sh*t  pray for them.

Psst…And, I’m not the only one. Check out Costco refusing to allow a non-mask user to shop in their store. 

Ok, that’s out of my system.

But, seriously, it wasn’t too long ago that the world no one could be out in the streets for non-essential activities. So, tell me, why is it that people have forgotten to practice physical distancing and basic hygiene (again)?

The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t over yet. We still have a loooong way to go. 

And, it’s super important that I share this post with you leading into a major holiday for us, Americans.

Fourth of July is sure to bring out those who bursting at the seams to hit the streets or those remaining cautious about being outdoors and around groups of people. 

Regardless of your plans, here’s how to use, clean AND disinfect your Reusable Face Mask during the Fourth of July Weekend.

The Best Way to Protect Yourself

Stay. Home.

The latest spike in the coronavirus cases “can be traced back to around Memorial Day, when officials began loosening their lockdown.” So, can you imagine what the future weeks will look like after the Fourth of July?

The Fourth of July signifies our Independence and Freedom. But, don’t get caught up in the sentiment of the holiday that you forget that we’re going through a pandemic (still!). So, plan to celebrate “Independence” Day differently this year and minimize your risk of spreading COVID-19.

But, what else can you do to avoid another spike in COVID-19 cases and how to maintain your health and safety this weekend? Here’s how.

Purchase or make an appropriate face mask

Everybody and their mama are making face masks (including my mom ha!). But, before you purchase, it’s important for you to take a peek at this list of essentials for an effective face mask. 

When purchasing or sewing your own mask, keep in mind your face mask’s fit, durability, and fabric. What’s the purpose of having a face mask if it isn’t going to protect you from respiratory droplets being transferred from person to person?

In fact, ask yourself these questions:

  1. Does your mask actually fit? 
  2. Does it fit snuggly on your face or is it loose around your chin, nose, and side of your face?
  3. Is it a reusable mask or a mask for one-time usage?

Many new and upcoming companies are selling masks for style, but remember to also search and spend with those who create them with your health in mind.

Check out: 6 Essentials for an Effective Face Mask

Wear Your Face Mask…on yo face!

Now that you’ve figured out how to purchase or make an effective mask, answer these additional questions:

  1. Are you using the mask when you enter a grocery store, business, or restaurant?
  2. Do you care about other people? [Don’t answer that question if you couldn’t care less about life].
  3. Are you taking your face mask off in a careful manner? [Watch the video below]

If you answer “No” to any of these questions, assess your face mask usage. Before you go outside, check yourself. You never know who is infected with the coronavirus, but showing no symptoms. Stay safe and wear your properly fitted mask! 

Before & After Using Your Face Mask

Your face mask isn’t the only item to keep you protected from the spread of the coronavirus. Proper care before and after can ensure you’re taking safety measures to stay safe and well. 

Put your face mask on with clean hands. Use the hand sanitizer or a pair of gloves before putting on your face mask. Avoid touching your face as much as possible, whether before, during, or after your face mask usage.

While wearing the face mask, don’t touch the outside of the mask. The outside of your mask is breeding with germs and you don’t want to transfer it to your face or rest of your body. I know the urge to scratch or touch your face has increased, but be careful. And, if you must adjust or remove your face mask to talk, clean your hands with hand sanitizer.

After you remove your face mask, clean your hands again. You can never be too careful!

Here’s my recommended list of things to carry along with your face mak(s):

  • Hand sanitizer
  • Wipes
  • Gloves
  • Lysol
  • Optional: An extra face mask

Wash Your Face Mask 

Please, please, please wash your face mask, and wash it often. In fact, a daily wash is recommended. 

Just like underwear, your face mask needs to be cleaned after being used. We’re living in a different time, might I say dangerous, and our old ways simply won’t do. 

Note: Be careful masks with filters. They are typically for one-time use only.

How to clean your mask

  • Warm or hot water 
  • Detergent
  • Hand wash or washer
  • Air Dry or dryer

The CDC recommends: “In general, cloth face coverings should be washed regularly (e.g., daily and whenever soiled).”

Dispose of it properly

Ain’t nobody got time to pick up behind you. Especially used gloves to protect against the rona. ⁣ * Go grocery shopping less frequently. Get as much as you can in one shopping trip as possible. (And yes, yes, I know 🧻 is hard to come by). But remember, minimal car use & human interaction.⁣ * Give people 6 feet! Still, some people have ignored or are careless about this one requirement. ⁣ * 👣⁣ * 👣⁣ * 👣⁣ * 👣⁣ * 👣⁣ * 👣⁣ * And, finally & most importantly, stop taking our home for granted.

Dispose of your face mask properly, especially if it’s a mask for one-time usage. This means in trash bin/can, dumpster, etc. If you throw your face masks on the ground or in public places, you’re defeating the purpose. The usage of face masks will help to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Happy New Year!⁣ ⁣ Can't believe that we've ma Happy New Year!⁣
⁣
Can't believe that we've made it! ⁣
⁣
We've learned a lot about ourselves including how to live through uncertainty. Although we are making our way through the pandemic, here's my affirmation for 2021 that I want to share with you!⁣
⁣
Take a Leap of Faith⁣
⁣
Now, I know this seems mundane and unoriginal, but hear me out.⁣
⁣
After such a difficult year, I managed to see the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather the comfort through all of this chaos. ⁣
⁣
One of the ways I've been able to manage has been reading scriptures every morning before I get out of bed. FYI, this isn't to force religion on you. I'm sharing this because no matter if I was reading the daily prayer on my Bible App, reading content online, or watching TV the words "leap of faith" kept popping up. ⁣
⁣
I took that as a positive sign for the future. And although I can't predict the future, I can find strength and believe that my decisions and faith will get me through. ⁣
⁣
That's why I've leaned on this affirmation, which has given me hope for what's to come. ⁣
⁣
I hope you have an amazing first day of 2021 and that you find an affirmation to lean on this year too!⁣

Don't ever hide your coils, kinks, and curls….ev Don't ever hide your coils, kinks, and curls….ever!⁣
⁣
When I visited Nepal in 2018, I never felt insecure about my hair ever before. Nepal occupies 0.1% of the Earth's land space. Small is not even the word to describe them!⁣
⁣
Yet, I felt even smaller a few days into my trip. ⁣
⁣
At first, I proudly paraded my coily crown around Kathmandu and Pokhara. I might have been the only black person in the country besides Morgan Freeman who was visiting the Dalai Lama.⁣
⁣
Upon arriving at a small village, school children poked their heads out of their classrooms admiring us; drooling over the opportunity to touch Americans for the first time. ⁣
⁣
I realized 30 minutes into the visit that I wasn’t the object of their eyes. Instead, they hovered over the white couple like vultures scavenging for fresh prey.⁣
⁣
But it wasn’t them that bothered me so much. It was the former principal and his search for "truth." ⁣
⁣
He wanted to know “𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙮?” and “𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢”. ⁣
⁣
Aha! - I thought. Could this be the reason why the children didn’t want anything to do with me???⁣
⁣
Apparently, I couldn’t have been from America because only white people occupy the continent.
⁣
We should acknowledge that people around the world are curious about blackness and are not inherently racist. But, that didn’t stop me from hiding my hair for the next few days.⁣
⁣
A day before I departed, I rediscovered why I went natural. Like being black in America, I have every right to be who I am in my most natural state. I couldn’t allow others to dictate the texture of my hair, my heritage, or my birthplace. ⁣
⁣
So this clip of my life is a reminder to never hide. Be you. Stay true. And I hope you share and show off your Fro-Journey for FrOtober! ⁣⁣

⁣
October is really FrOtober??⁣
⁣
Well, here’s a little history lesson:⁣
⁣
Tammy Facey, the Founder of Jim + Henry, created #FrOtober stating: “The history of the policing of black people's hair runs parallel with the history of repression itself. Thanks to the spotlight of the Black Lives Matter movement and literature acknowledging the rich history and texture of Afro hair, such as Emma Dabiri’s ‘Don’t Touch my Hair’, women in 2020 are learning more about their coily texture and celebrating it.”⁣
⁣
Can I get a…..Amen?⁣
⁣
How are you celebrating FrOtober?⁣

On Monday, we celebrated International Day of Peac On Monday, we celebrated International Day of Peace. Its 2020 theme was “Shaping Peace Together.” ⁣
⁣
Instead of celebrating just one day to spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic, why not make it a habit. ⁣
⁣
Everyday! ⁣
⁣
The shit we done been through this year warrants more than just a day to peace. We need all the peace we can get. ⁣

Caring about what other people think sucks!⁣ ⁣ Caring about what other people think sucks!⁣
⁣
And, what sucks even more is feeling guilty about not living up to their “standard.” ⁣
⁣
Then, feeling pressure to follow this path that you didn’t create for yourself even when your mind & body says STAWWWPP!!⁣
⁣
Sounds familiar?⁣
⁣
Then you feel inadequate which causes anxiety and more guilt.⁣
⁣
Then there’s this never-ending cycle of inadequacy, anxiety, and caring until the point of “F@*k this!” comes out your mouth.⁣
⁣
Are you at that point?⁣
⁣
Here’s a great quote via a Youtube Interview with Bri Babineaux:⁣
⁣
“I was concerned about other people’s opinions…but as I continued to go through this journey and path I began to not even care what anybody thought about me and what anybody had to say about me because at the end of the day you don’t have a heaven or hell to put me in.” ⁣
⁣
There’s no shame in living your life for you. If you agree, type “I’m living for me!”⁣

I’m always surprised at how many people say that they knew they were going to travel the world or loved before they were even able to.⁣

⁣
I only loved what was around me, including the languages I couldn’t speak.⁣

I miss connecting to the locals, communicating with them in their local tongue, and swaying along in the streets as nature seduces my thoughts (I love nature lol). ⁣
⁣
We often take the little things for granted. We woke up one day and all hell broke loose.⁣
⁣
Now, that we’re almost at the end of 2020 (and hopefully the pandemic), we can take a step back and reflect on our behaviors -the good & bad- and do better.⁣
