Paranoid and prepared part 2

Ladies: never say I sent you away unprepared! I've already stressed how paranoid I am and how I like to be prepared for any event. Well, I do live in a pretty suburban area and I go into the city a lot. So needing an actual survival kit isn't a likelihood in my life. But today's item is actually an app. 
What is it? It's called SafeTrek. You put in your basic info, you create a password, and when you feel unsafe you hold down the button. When you feel safe again you let go of the button and put in your passcode. If you don't enter your passcode within ten seconds, it automatically calls the police and notifies them of your location. 
It's only $1.99. For peace of mind I think that's pretty stinkin reasonable. I know normally I do fun items and pretty things but I feel like this is a thing that needs to be promoted. People have a right to feel safe but we are not always afforded that luxury. Until then, maybe this can help keep you a little safer! Download it at the App Store!

Paranoid and Prepared

So if you're anything like me, you're always sure at any moment something awful is going to happen. Maybe you're mentally prepped for what you would do if you came across a nasty car accident and had to spring into action and save the day. Or maybe you're convinced that someday you'll accidentally end up in the woods alone and you need to survive. I'm not gonna judge. I have generalized anxiety disorder, so I have a lot of weird thoughts like that. But in any case. If you've ever felt like you needed to be prepared for randomly getting lost in the wilderness maybe you'll appreciate this: 
Survival kit in an altoid tin. Alcohol pads, a howler whistle, safety pins, compass. It's got all kinds of good stuff. You can use the inside of the tin to signal your rescuers. I love it. If you're paranoid and like to be prepared like me, get yours here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/197089854/altoid-tin-mini-survival-kit-with-wire?source=aw&utm_source=affiliate_window&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&utm_content=141392
