I’m a sucker for sunsets. #californiasunset
With the constant bombardment of news reports on shootings, kidnappings, and other acts of violence, it’s no wonder we live in a world perpetuated by constant fear. Fear to let your kids outside and play. Fear to go out at night. Fear to travel. We have been conditioned to be so afraid of not just our surroundings, but of each other. It’s ok to be afraid. Fear in certain situations is good. But to live in a constant state of fear is not good and is no way to live. You can never make yourself completely impenetrable. But having situational awareness. Paying attention to the people you associate with. And doing what you can, whether big or small to keep yourself safe – can make a world of difference. @macebrand #MaceBrandPartner
I won’t forget.
So I ask my husband to take a photo with me and as usual he turns it into a competition. Who can jump higher ... I lost. #soreloser
Some people are intimidated by the idea of carrying pepper spray, even more so using it. To help them feel comfortable and confident @macebrand makes a water canister spray that you can practice with before using the real thing. This way, if you're in a dangerous situation, you can respond quickly. Muscle memory is incredibly important and once you practice, you'll automatically know what to do. #MaceBrandPartner
Picture perfect sunset
Sometimes we just have to stop and take it in.

On August 2nd, 2016 at 5 pm, Karina Vetrano went out for her daily run along the Belt Parkway bike path in Queens. When it got late and she didn’t return home, her father, a former NYC fireman called the police. Later that night her body was found in the nearby weeds along the path. She had been raped and strangled. Karina was 30 years old and a graduate of St. John’s University. She was fit and strong and had competed in the Citi Field Spartan Race just a few weeks earlier. Yesterday marks the second anniversary of Karina Vetrano’s death. There are many tragic stories like Karina’s. Now in the summer months there are more of us exercising outdoors. We always want to keep our safety and of those we love in the forefront of our minds. Always, always safety first. @macebrand #macebrandpartner
