Do you always go out? If you are the type of person who is usually on-the-go, keeping your usual pace has just become a bit more challenging. You have to rely on some essentials that would help you stay ahead in the new normal, while putting safety above all.  Therefore, we should brace ourselves for the new normal, that changing the way we go about our usual routine and creating new demands on our lifestyles. So we need to be careful when going to public places like going to work, going to malls & groceries and many more.

The following are the list of  the essentials that you should have ready at all times to help you stay safe while keeping busy in our new, socially distanced world:

1. Face masks and face shields

Other than being a requirement whenever you step out of your house, face masks and face shields are your first line of defense against the virus. Thankfully, there are a lot of fashionable face masks available to match your OOTDs but make sure to avoid those with valves or holes on them. Just make sure your masks fit you well–fully covering your nose, mouth, and chin, and make sure not to remove these unless necessary.

It’s also helpful to have a mask holder to keep your mask in when not in use. You can store an extra mask here too in case of an emergency. 

2. Alcohols, sanitizers, and disinfecting wipes

Hand hygiene is key to protecting yourself from the virus, which is why it makes sense to carry your own alcohol, sanitizers, and disinfecting wipes at all times.

Having your own personal spray or bottle gives you the assurance of safety since you can avoid using shared sanitizers and minimize physical contact with others.

Using your disinfecting wipes, it’s good to make sure to wipe anything that you need to touch – desks, tables, phones, gadgets, and many others. You can never be too careful!

3. Your own pen

This is decidedly old school but it’s still very practical to carry one around, given that you have to fill up so many forms these days and not all establishments use QR codes. Certainly, you don’t want to use a pen that someone else has touched.

If you’re one to like multi-functional items, Alco Pens are also a trend nowadays. Your alcohol spray and handy pen in one!

4. Vicks inhaler
