Edmonton Made Masks + Hand Sanitizer

April 15, 2020 By Kari 1 Comment

A master list of some amazing Edmonton area shops creating hand sanitizer and non-medical masks in the middle of the Corona Virus pandemic.

Hello, friends!  We hope you’re all staying safe and healthy during this bizarre time in our world.

There are so many amazing creatives in the Edmonton area doing incredible things with their businesses right now! Shifting, adapting, and working their butts off to help others. I thought it would be helpful to have a single place to find links to access locally-made non-medical masks and hand sanitizer. I rounded up as many as I could find with tons of suggestions from you on Instagram (thank you for that!), but if I’m missed any- please reach out and let me know. Also- watch for a fresh Local Love List coming your way next Friday with updates on local hidden gems and cool product.

Homemade Mask Note

It’s important to note non-medical masks shouldn’t be a replacement for properly washing hands, and practiscing safe social distancing, etc. Here’s some valuable information from the Alberta Health Services website:

Wearing a non-medical mask, such as a homemade cloth mask, has not been proven to protect the person wearing it. However, wearing a non-medical mask may be helpful in protecting others around you. This is because face coverings are another way to cover your mouth and nose to prevent respiratory droplets from contaminating other people or surfaces. Additionally, wearing a mask may stop you from touching your nose and mouth.

Read more from AHS on the proper rules to follow with homemade mask-wearing and care here.

It's truly amazing what our bodies can do. 💛

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️
The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll be honest - the first trimester wasn’t great. There were moments of joy (like this one) but it was filled with anxiety, scary moments, and a few hurdles. 

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey. 

👉 Head on over to KariSkelton.com for ‘Pregnancy Q&A: The First Trimester’ where I get into all of it. Link is in my bio.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
