Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.
I walk a lot and while years ago that most likely wouldn’t have been a problem in today’s world it could be a bit of a problem. Anything could happen so I have to be prepared which means making sure I have my cell phone with me and a can of Mace® Brand. I never really thought about it before but lately since I have comes to terms with the fact that I am more and more alone I want to protect myself as best I can.
Mace® Brand was wonderful enough to send me a can for review and I have NOT pepper sprayed anyone yet not that I didn’t ask my brother if he wanted to try it out for me.I received the Mace PepperGard which has their& signature Flip & Grip Pepper Spray and is available in 3 sizes. It has a chain so I can add it to my keychain if I want to. I actually keep it either in my pocket or in the top of the stroller (near my hand) when I am walking.I want it right where I can get it if I need to.
I am going to be honest and say if I ever actually had to pepper spray anyone I would be so nervous. I was walking alone a few months ago when I realized how much I needed something extra. This car drove passed me only to turn around and drive back by several times. Luckily I live in a small town and knew it was lunch time (and that he goes home everyday) for the police officer that lives down the road. When he came back by I flagged him down and told him about the car as it was passing me for fifth time. He pulled the guy over. Now I have Mace® Brand and will have the few seconds I may need to react and defend myself. Although I learned that pepper spray actually expires. My can says use by June 2017 so if I haven’t used it by that date then I will need to purchase more.
Mace® Brand has more than just pepper spray, although they do have a great assortment for every style and need. They have home security systems and so much more. I didn’t know that either but I do know that I will be making more purchases from them as I work towards helping make me and my family safer.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

OMG! That car would freak me out too. It would be nice to have this spray for peace of mind but I hope you never have to use it. It’s so dangerous to walk around these days, even in broad daylight!
