While the pandemic originally sparked a surge in face masks buying, those days may be coming to an end. Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidelines saying individuals fully vaccinated against the coronavirus no longer need to wear face masks indoors and outdoors, or social distance, in most circumstances — here’s what to know if you’re looking for ways to protect and keep track of your Covid-19 vaccination card.

Moving away from pandemic-related shopping, brands are increasingly working to sell more environmentally-friendly products, like Allbirds and Adidas’ new low-carbon-footprint running shoe. Some shoppers are also taking interest in being eco-conscious, or learning how to better pick eco-friendly cleaning supplies that make less of an impact on the Earth. Last week also saw a variety of tech launches. Samsung released its new Galaxy Book Pro Series and Amazon introduced three new Echo smart devices after debuting Fire HD 10 tablets earlier this month.
