In case you haven’t heard, it looks like we’re heading for the second wave of Covid-19. As the weather gets colder and we enter cold and flu season, we’ll all be more susceptible to the Coronavirus thanks to weakened immune systems. It’s been a stressful time for many of us, we know. There have been some people who have taken out funeral insurance for peace of mind and others who have invested heavily in PPE in order to protect themselves.
But we made it through the first wave and now we understand more about how the virus works and have better access to PPE. We’re more able to continue to protect ourselves with the tools we have in place – face masks and hand sanitizers.
While many thought wearing face masks and carrying bottles of hand sanitizer was a temporary inconvenience, it looks like we’re in for the long haul. With that said, we thought we’d help you stay ahead with a positive post on how you can protect yourselves. While we hope you’re continuing to strengthen your immunity with vitamins and supplements, today, we’re concentrating on the preventative measures you should never leave home without.
As new health stapes, we present the following essential health and wellness musts from Casupo, Milk Makeup, Wakamono, and Elyptol; all available now to help you beat the second wave Of Covid-19.
