It seems as if covid might be slowly creeping back. The government issued a statement asking Kenyans to start wearing masks again as well as to maintain general cleanliness.
I know masks were beyond annoying and uncomfortable, especially for people who wear glasses. A round of applause to you guys because wueh!
With the new statement and some establishments bringing back the "No entry without a face mask" rule, here are a few mask accessories that'll make wearing one easier for you:
1) An adhesive nose bridge

They help your mask seal better on the bridge of your nose, preventing your breath from escaping from the sides and fogging up your lenses.
The adhesive aluminum strips that can be bent to the angle you need and then placed on your mask.
2) Headbands with a buttons
These are guaranteed to give your ears a much-needed break, they come in different designs and colours as well.
