WHILE AT THE HORSE EXPO, I SAW THIS BOOTH, “DAMSEL IN DEFENSE” – HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT? PRETTY COOL SELF DEFENSE MADE FOR WOMEN!






You know those kinds of parties you get invited to where you watch a presentation about a product line and then they hope you order something.  Usually wine and cheese are involved?…

I rarely get invited to those parties.

Anyway, when I was at The Western States Horse Expo, I saw a bunch of pink and red items that caught my eye…  When I went into the booth, I realized that what I was seeing were self-defense items made for women.

Damsel in Defense was the name.

Hmmmm.  Interesting concept.

The lady in the booth had her back turned because she was grabbing a snack.  So, I felt free to browse.  As I did, I saw a few items that I thought were really cool and convenient and things I never knew I needed – but were very good ideas.

So, when the vendor noticed that I was in her booth I said to her, “Now this kind of thing should be in one of those parties …”.

She kinda laughed and said, “That’s exactly what I do!”

I've never even thought about self protection and security items other than pepper spray.  There were some really smart products in that booth!

NO AFFILIATION AND I’M NOT HAVING A PARTY… BUT…They have cool stuff and if you have a party, I need a few of these things so let me know!

I was so impressed with several items that I thought I should tell you all.  If any of you decide to have a party, please let me know because I want to order a few things!  ;)

Anyway, here is the website to the lady that I met in the booth.  (I have no affiliation; I just picked up her card.)

Here is the catalog website.

THE PRODUCTS I PARTICULARLY LIKED…

I’m not one to fall for fluffy products.  But some of these self-defense items could really come in handy.

Here are a few products that I particularly liked.

1)  STEP OFF:  This was my favorite item and it was only $15!  I need to purchase one if you have a party.

OK, for me… when Hubby is out of town, I always worry that someone will get into the house and come into the bedroom.  This item is a door stop with an alarm.  So, if someone tries to enter, a huge alarm sounds!  Perfect for a hotel room or a dorm, too…

I love this simple idea... a door stop with an alarm inside.

2)  WHERE’S YO BABY? – I don’t have any kids but I do know that they can run away at top speeds when you are getting a drink of water at the park… So, I thought this baby alarm system was clever.  If baby strays more than the amount of feet you set, the alarm goes off.

3)  ROAD TRIP:  This is one of those items you should keep in the glove box with your flashlight and flares – (do they even use flares anymore?).   It can break glass, cut your seatbelt, shine a beacon and it is an alarm.

I'd never seen items like this before - shaped and created for women.

4)  GIMME A SIGN – I loved this because it is a little kit for your glovebox that has ready-made signs that tell the people on the outside what you need.  This way, you don’t have to roll down the window if you don’t feel safe!

Pre-made signs so you don't have to roll down a window...

5)  HOT LIL’ HAND – This is great for riding or running… a pepper spray that fits in a glove on your hand.  It says there are safety features that prevent accidental discharges but I didn’t look closely to know what those were.

Good idea for riders and runners!

HONORABLE MENTIONS… I liked these, too!

MAMA TESS’ TREASURE CHEST!

I’m opening up the treasure chest for the next several weeks because maggots, the Founder Warrior and the vet visits insist that I do…

Extasia is a unique, handmade vintage (now worldwide) jeweler… but the coolest thing is that they originated in Nevada City, just one town away from where I live!  I had always wanted to go to their showroom and get a one-of-a-kind piece.  Well, last Christmas, I did!  I got a few, actually…

This necklace is so great in person!  it is heavy and beautiful!  My photos don’t do it justice.  Everyone comments when I wear this!

The chain is bronze with gold accents.  The bale is beautiful!  All three charms are perfectly balanced.  One is a hinged locket, the middle has a faceted garnet and pearls, the other is a vintage scientific drawing.  It is in perfect condition.

The chain is 24″ and the charms add another 3″.  Great for layering!

I paid $275 for this one-of-a-kind set.  I am pleased to sell it for $165.  (includes shipping)
