For women of all ages, living alone comes with extra precautions that are necessary to ensure day-to-day safety.

Luckily, it's possible to implement personal safety into your daily routine without feeling like a prisoner in your own home.

If you are at first lonely, be patient. If you’ve not been alone much, or if when you were, you weren’t okay with it, then just wait.
