Get Back to the Things You Love

Created by Jennifer and Bob McMahon, Your Social Mask was designed to give people to opportunity to enjoy eating and drinking once again in a social setting. Keeping protection top of mind while reconnecting with our communities, Your Social Mask helps you get back to the things you love. Your Social Mask was developed by an experienced team who got together with a forward-thinking desire to help the restaurant, travel, entertainment, sporting, and event industries reopen. The mask gives people the opportunity to dine at a restaurant or socialize without taking off their masks and exposing their full face, or worrying about where to place the mask when it is removed. With a simple Velcro strip, the mask is opened and fastened on the side for access to your mouth to eating and imbibing ease. Straws can also be inserted from the bottom of the mask without it having to be unfastened. They are sold 2 per pack for $30.  You can learn more here!
