Just the Masks - New Mask Style from The Barrier Method + 15% off Your Order

 Disclosure: Complimentary product was received for review purposes.  All opinions are honest and entirely my own.  

The Barrier Method’s new mask style “Just the Mask” is the answer to my prayers for the perfect mask. I was already a huge fan of the company’s winged scarf style masks (my must have when I travel by air), but having a scarf around my neck got a little hot in this Hawaii summer weather.  

The mask comes in two styles: with traditional ear straps or headband and tie.  The headband and tie style is the perfect solution for me as I cannot lose it. No more masks hanging from one ear!  Now, I simply pull it down and the mask hangs from my neck.  I found this super useful when I run around the neighborhood and need a breath of fresh air.  

I also tried the mask on my 9 year old son and because the straps are adjustable, it fits him well too. I worry that during school he may lose his mask, but this style ensures he doesn’t.  The mask is super comfortable and made of two layers of anti-microbial fabric that is wicking, breathable, has a silky feel, and offers UPF 50 sun protection. The mask has a pocket for a filter and most importantly, it has a nose wire to create a better seal. 

Thank you to The Barrier Method for generously offering 15% off with code Nadia15 for our Hawaii Mom Blog readers!

Sticker Mule Masks

Sticker Mule make custom stickers, magnets, and more for your business (we use them for Na`au), but they have expanded to offering masks.  The masks are not yet customizable, but they are reasonably-priced, are designed with a filter pocket, and come with ear savers (my order happened to arrive with with complimentary filters, so I'm not sure if this is the new standard or they are just including them for a limited time).

If you are a first-time customer, you can sign up for their email list for a $10 discount code!

Shield Co. Hawaii

I first heard about Shield Co. Hawaii through a post made by @makamizzle on IG.  What was very appealing was how fast shipping was, as well as a free shipping promo that was offered.

I ended up buying HA95 Disposable Filter Inserts, as well as a Mini UV-C Sterilizer.

The company also sells fabric masks, K95 Masks, as well as a sanitizing box.  

I think it's great how local businesses have emerged to help supply the community with the growing need of health and safety products.

Masks from Target

It seems like I'm constantly looking out for masks whenever I shop online, and during a recent online shopping "trip" on Target.com, I saw they were selling reasonably-priced masks - kids masks for $5/2pack, and adults for $4/2pack

Although we are still staying home for the most part, there are times when we pick up food or have to swing by places, and it's always good to have extra masks on hand stored in the car or in my purse.  

From where have you been buying masks?

Masks by Kristine Nagasako

Since masks are becoming the norm, and probably will be for some time, I decided to buy more masks.  This time around, I bought them from Kristine Nagasako.  I met her last year, when she joined us on a trip to Kauai. 

Once the pandemic hit the islands, she started making masks.

She offers many, many different fabrics - great for all ages, boys and girls!

DM her on social media!  The turnaround time is really quick, and the prices are very reasonable!
