ila Safety With Style Giveaway

I live in a small town just outside of a larger city. And that larger city is not too far from Gary, IN and Chicago. To say the least, crime in our area is high. It has been something new for me to deal with since moving here 8 years ago. I was used to small, rural town and country life before now. Learning to deal with the difference has been a small challenge, but do-able. I've made some small changes and some big ones.

Recently I was given something that I just love having now. It was the ila Pebble Personal Alarm. This thing is wonderful! It is so easy to have with me all the time. It looks like a part of my key chain, but man, does it ever pack a wallop! When you pull a small clip out it makes a piercing sound. In fact it is 130 decibels. That's loud! It's bound to get any one's and every one's attention. I really love having it with me and feel safer when I do! And it's cute too!

I was so thrilled with it I contacted the company to let them know. They were so nice to me and offered to let me review several of their other products and tell you all about them!
They sent me the Portable Door Alarm Wedge, It is so neat! You just wedge it under your door and if someone tries to open or force the door the pressure sensitive switch goes off and a 130 decibel alarm sounds. This is such a nice things to have when traveling or for someone who unfortunately has to live in a not so nice part of town! I gave mine to an elderly lady who just didn't feel safe in her home. She told me recently that every night when she goes to bed or when she comes home from being out she wedges that alarm under her door and feels so much safer. It gives her peace of mind! That's priceless!

The third product they sent me was the Handbag Hook. This is the neatest thing!! It looks like a small makeup compact and takes up very little space in my purse. It also has a little mirror in it which has come in handy from time to time. The first time I tried to open it to hang up my purse I had a little trouble, but after that it was easy peasy! It is so nice to have my purse where I know it should be and not tucked under a chair where someone could easily grab it without me knowing. I'm also not kicking it around or other people aren't kicking it around under the table or mushing it between several people on a bench seat. Those little metal sections in the picture above just wrap around the disc when you are done with it and they stay in place till you need it again.

I also recommend you check out the website for their Top 10 Safety Tips. There are some very good and common sense things there that will help anyone feel safer when they are out and about! I thought I was a fairly safe person and learned a lot there! Don't ever take your personal safety for granted! You never know in today's world what or who is out there wanting to hurt you or take something from you. ila can give you a little more peace of mind!

ila has also been kind enough to offer one of my readers their own Pebble Personal Alarm. All you have to do to enter is to fill in the Rafflecopter bellow. Remember to be patient, sometimes it loads slow!
