Your home's security is important and you should carefully plan ahead of time to keep it safe. Below is a list of tips you might want to consider, before you can relax and enjoy your much needed vacation.

Security Tips to Prevent Burglars

• The best plan is to get a house sitter, have a relative or friend stay in the house with your pets. This will prove that the house is not empty.
• If you can't find someone to take care of your home, make your house look busy by having lights turn off and on at night. Consider buying a Digital Timer for security.
• Try to get a relative or neighbor to get your mail and water the plants during your holiday vacation. Houses or apartments that have newspapers and mail piled up or plants dying, look uninhabited. You can also request to have your postal service stopped temporarily, while you are away.
• If you rent your home, tell your landlord that you are not going to be home. This is important, in case they need to get into the residence for an emergency and they can't contact you.
• Keep your heater running if you live in a cold area. Just enough warmth to prevent your water from freezing in your pipes and possibly bursting!
• Finally let your close neighbors be aware that your are going away for the holidays and to keep an eye on your home.

Remember that burglars also have a good time during this season! Following the above tips and proper planning, you should be able to take off on your holiday vacation, with no concerns.

December is no doubt, party month and most people are buying new clothes for the festivities, along with toys, alcohol and food!

Everyone is focusing on having a good time and gathering with family and friends. The last thing on someone's mind is safety. But safety is crucial, if you want to really enjoy the Holidays. Nothing can be worse during the Holidays than having your gifts at home burglarized, your shopping money pick pocketed at the mall, your party turning into drunks fighting or even worse, someone getting date raped… These occurrences aren't unique and happen year round!

The Holiday season is not immune to your everyday crime. In fact, sometimes crime is escalated. Make sure you celebrate with safety guidelines, like not drinking too much, not leaving a party with a stranger, no matter how friendly and attractive they are. Always have a designated driver when you leave and please beware of drugs! Never drink out of a punch bowl or open container. Always open your own drink. Request that your friend or waiter bring it unopened!

When out shopping for gifts, make sure you carry your money or credit cards where pick-pockets cannot steal it. Find unique ways to carry your cash or credit cards. While in store parking lots, request an escort if possible. Especially if it is dark out!

One more thing, consider our WomenOnGuard.com website for products that protect your home and yourself from crime. Self defense products also make great, thoughtful and unique gifts that will be appreciated by family and friends.

We hope you have a wonderful and safe Holiday Season!

Triple Action Personal Defense Spray

There are many pepper sprays on the market but few if any are triple action. Triple refers to hot pepper, tear gas and a UV Dye. This Mace spray has it all!

Personal defense is easy, if you carry some sort of self empowering item. The Mace Triple Action Pocket Model is a non lethal, personal defense spray. Women or men can defend themselves with it and at the same time, not inflict lethal injuries or kill someone. Yet, they can incapacitate a threatening person and even mark them with a UV Dye.

The Mace Triple Action Pocket Model, is small enough to fit in your pocket or purse. It can spray approximately 5, one second bursts and reach between 6 and 12 feet. The hot pepper, burns the eyes and throat, making an attacker cough their head off! The fact that the eyes burn, will cause them to close their eyes, making him or her, temporarily blind. The advantages of the tear gas, is that you don't have to hit an attacker directly in the face with the burst, because the fumes from the tear gas, will still affect them, even if the spray only hits their chest! Plus, the UV Dye will make it easy for officials to identify the attacker, if captured.

Don't become a victim. Carry a personal defense pepper spray and keep it handy, wherever you go!

Unique Stun Gun Flashlight with Alarm

Are you in need of a flashlight for your home? Before you spend your money on an ordinary one, consider one that lights, stuns and sounds off an alarm… Great for personal defense and house or apartment protection.

But even if you weren't looking for one, this incredible item is worth having around your house or apartment. The Stun Gun Flashlight with Alarm is geared for not just seeing in the dark, but for personal defense and to protect your home from intruders. Besides having a bright light, it has a powerful 130 decibel alarm! Plus, it can be used as a weapon, because it includes a 200,000 volt stun gun! It measures 16.5 inches long, keeps you at a nice distance from an intruder, as well.

If someone enters your home, you can temporarily blind them with the bright light in their eyes, sound off the 130 decibel alarm, so your neighbors will hear it and actually shock the intruder with the stun gun as well. Touching them for a few seconds with the stun gun prongs, located around the front of the flashlight, will weaken their muscles and cause them to fall down. You can also take the opportunity while they are down and place a set of handcuffs on them, that is if you have some around... A citizen's arrest, right in your own home!

Handcuffs are convenient to have in your home and we are not referring to the kinky use of them! They can come in very handy if you can manage to wrap them around an intruder's hands or tie him to a heavy piece of furniture with them. So keep those handcuffs next to where you store your 130 decibel flashlight for personal defense… Might it be the nightstand?

Pocket Size, Mace Hot Pink Pepper Spray!

For those of you that like to defend yourselves with a more compact personal defense spray, your wish has come true! Our store now carries the smaller companion of the Personal Model size for women.

It's called the Mace Hot Pink Pepper Spray Pocket Model! Just as potent a weapon as the Mace larger one, but contains less amount of spray and uses up less room in your purse. Women can also put it in their pocket, briefcase or backpack. This baby can shoot 5 to 15 shots, depending on how long you press the flip top. Plus, this personal defense weapon can reach up to 15 feet away! Just like it's Pink, Personal larger version, it also has a key chain, which you can attach to your keys and have it handy at all times. Like all other Mace personal defense pepper spray, it also has a UV Dye, that will show up on an attacker's face and serves as evidence, if the police captures him or her!

Are You Planning to Go Away for the Holidays this Year?

Many of us travel during the holidays to see relatives. One of our concerns is, how safe is our house or apartment from burglars?

Home protection security systems can be pretty expensive and while they give you peace of mind, there are also cheaper ways for home protection. This is why we are suggesting a simple but reliable anti-intrusion device.

The Dual Function Door Brace is great for sliding doors and regular doors, too. When it comes to sliding ones, many of us have used broom sticks! But a broomstick is not only ugly, it's nasty and not reliable for an apartment or house protection. Sometimes it doesn't even fit correctly. With this brace, you can adjust it to the the width you need. It has rubber ends, so it won't slide and it's built strong, with 20 gauge steel! Plus it not only works on sliding entrances, it also has a curved rubber end, that you can place under a regular door knob. Just lean it against the knob, by adjusting it's length and there you have it! Nobody will be able to push your back door in, this holiday season. No need to keep that old chair, next to your home entrance, either!

Remember that the holidays are also celebrated by burglars. It's the best time of the year for them as well! Whether you are staying home for the holidays or not, this brace is a must have, against burglars or intruders, anytime of the year!
