It's sucky because I got covid a 2nd time even when I was wearing a mask while on the train, I think it can get in your eyes too?? Like.. it feels like I can't do anything no matter what 🥲 I've literally turned germaphobic since this whole thing started

Always on the lookout for cool sustainable stuff, I'm glad you shared this!

Thanks! I really love the aesthetics. It's Rolife's "Sakura Densya" if you want one of your own 🌸

They're so much fun!
