BYOM - Bring Your Own Mask's last day will be December 31st. We started March 2020 as a way to get the family involved in helping the community. Who knew?? :)

The entire store is 50% off. Our last day is December 31. Orders in time for Christmas need to be done by tomorrow December 14th midnight.

If you know anyone that would accept donations we are open to it. Just share my contact information with them. Our fabric filter masks are one of the only ASTM-certified masks in North America and WAY BETTER for the planet.

Thank you for all of your support over the past few years.

March Madness Sale - 30% OFf ALL MASKS until the end of March in recognition of our second anniversary.

We know there are many people happy about the mask mandates ending. Our family is too.

As I am thinking about this chapter and slowing down of BYOM it has been quite a journey. We have learned a ton. Our promise was to deliver exemplary customer service, give back and, the best-in-class fabric with a filter mask and we did just that.

We are going to still stay open and offer this service to those that may still feel more comfortable wearing a mask for the next year at least.

As other mask companies close down - If you can let others know we are still up and running we would be very thankful.

Thanks for the support over the last 2 years. Our family deeply appreciates it because this business pivot allowed us to make an income while our other business www.nikkolight.com came to a complete standstill.

One of our family customs every year is to pick a word at the beginning of the year that speaks to purpose or hope for that year. What is cool is to look at the different words over time from the different family members. I am so glad we have continued to do this in our extended family even if there are a few eye-rolls from kids. I know they will appreciate it later.

My word this year is BE. I have been in a complete Do mode for a while now. Being stuck for 3 weeks on an island forced me to slow down but also re-prioritize what is important. I think being present is the best way I can be there for my family.

What is your word for 2022?

BLUE OCEAN - NEW DESIGN
Our newest design is inspired by the beautiful ocean. % of the proceeds will go to clean water projects in Canada.

Our 3 layer masks have copper nose wires, adjustable earloops, 64-gram polypropylene filter, and a middle nonwoven melt blown polypropylene layer. Our masks have been lab-tested and we have received a level 2 ASTM rating (astm.org) for filtration efficiency.

(which means ASTM Level 2: Ideal for procedures in which there is a moderate risk of fluid exposure (splashes or sprays can be produced).

I just want to sincerely thank you all my wonderful customers for your patience while our 1-week family break became 3.

We are so grateful for those that stepped up and helped get mask packages out. Thank goodness for technology.

We also wanted to thank our manufacturer and artists who are a part of BYOM.

We will continue to serve and provide the best fabric mask on the market.

One of the best things over the last 20 months for BYOM is meeting amazing artists. Darlene Kulig is a force that is pure kindness, creativity, determination, passion and giving. I am very grateful that I have the chance to work and learn with her in a small way through our masks.

If you have not seen her designs they are available on BYOM and her site and money is donated to Craig Kulig Memorial Foundation. She has raised over $16, 000 with the masks.

I cannot wait to see what she does next.
