Noonlight provides peace of mind in every situation where you feel unsafe. Here's how it works: If you ever feel unsafe, open Noonlight and hold your thumb down on the button. When you feel safe again, release the button and enter your 4 digit PIN to cancel your alert. If your instincts become a real emergency, simply release the button (don't enter your pin) and we’ll automatically notify the police of your location - you don't need to say or do anything else.

Okay, I’m not sure if it’s available in other countries, but I would like to share something.

In the recent disappearance and death of Iowa teen Mollie Tibbetts, people are urging others to download this app.

It’s called “Noonlight”.

See the big button in the center? If you are in a dangerous situation where you can’t contact the police, feel threatened, or in the midst of a life-threatening medical emergency and can’t talk, hold down the button.

When you let go, you have ten seconds to put in your pin (which you set up when you first install the app), otherwise the authorities will be contacted.

I know that this isn’t really part of my blog theme, but I really want people to signal boost this. It has saved quite a few people since it’s first initial launch as “Safetrek”, and brought piece of mind to many as well.

I downloaded it as a fail safe. I may live in a very, very small town, but I still feel unsafe standing outside my place of work, waiting for my mom or dad to come pick me up after I sign out for the night. This app makes me feel a bit more comfortable, knowing that if something were to happen, I have it to keep me safe.

Even if you don’t live in America, please signal boost this. It may save someone’s life.

Personal Safety on Campus!

Because I know a lot of my followers will be leaving home and going to college soon I wanted you all to make sure that you pack something you might not of thought about, safety devices. Unfortunately we still live in a shitty world so we should protect ourselves. These are all methods I have used myself and unfortunately I have had to use all of them at some point. Hopefully you will never need to use any of these but I would rather you all be safe.

All these tips are gender neutral because anyone can be assaulted, friends. (Although we all know you’re more likely to be assaulted if you’re a woman or LGBT+ so please consider these)

There are several different ways to make yourself feels safer while walking home late at night. 

  1. I personally carry a knife with me at all times, make sure yours is legal in your state and you can carry it on campus because some campuses have restrictions on spring or size of the blade. Get familiar with it and how it feels. You don’t want the first time you use it to be the time you need it the most.
  2. Pepper spray, tasers, and alarm keychains. I’ve used this one and I recommend it if you don’t have a ton of experience with pepper spray or tasers. Pick what you’re comfortable with. The personal alarm is super easy to use and loud as fuck. Attach it to your keychain when you carry your keys.
  3. General tips
  4. No headphones when walking in low populated or dark areas alone
  5. Stay aware, walk with purpose.
  6. Lots of colleges offer FREE self defense classes, take one and bring your friends with you.
  7. If you’re on campus late at night ask someone from class to walk with you part of the way. No one will tell you “No” for this.
  8. Stay on guard even when you’re in your Uber home.
  9. Never go clubbing alone
  10. Safety apps. There are several. SafeTrek is a popular one!

These are just basic tips and you should further educate yourself on what you can do to stay safe. Just general reminders of things you should get before heading off to college. Stay safe, lovelies!

It truly is the best app out there bc it saves lives.

I’m pregnant and my now ex-boyfriend started attacking me after saying he did not want a kid. He said it was my fault and that I’m forcing a kid onto him. Out of nowhere, he punched me in my side and tried to push me down the stairs. He took my phone and when I was able to get it back I opened SafeTrek. I was able to hit the button before he grabbed it back, but he realized something was up with the screen. He gave me the phone back and I went outside without being harmed more, bc he knew cops were coming. I will forever vouch for this app and am very grateful. It truly is the best app out there bc it saves lives.

This app will save your life. I know from personal experience.

I recommend SafeTrek for anybody who feels like they are unsafe, especially victims of domestic violence. Get the app and keep in on your phone easily accessible on the home screen. Use it anytime you feel that you are in serious danger and need help from the police but can’t call because the situation could be made worse that way. I was forced to give my phone up during a fight with my ex but the cops still came because I pressed the button first and never entered my safe code. This will save your life. I know from personal experience.
