AÏKIOU HEXA Slow Feed Dog Bowl



I have been seeing these slow feed bowls for a while now and wanted to try them so I jumped at the chance to get this one to review. I was asked to give my honest opinion on how it performed for me and share my thoughts on it. If you have never seen this type of bowl before, it is designed to slow your pet down while they are eating by making it more challenging to get the food out too quickly. If the pet eats too fast, it could cause digestion issues, weight problems and can even result in death. 


The bowl is made from a BPA & BHT free food grade plastic so it is safe for your pets. The bowl can be cleaned in the dishwasher but should be placed on the top rack only. This bowl is best suited for small to medium sized dogs weighing from 5 to 90 pounds. It has non-skid pads on the bottom of the bowl which prevents the bowl from sliding or damaging floors. 


I was so excited to try this bowl so I washed and dried it then put a serving of my dog's favorite food in the bowl and called him to eat. My dog absolutely wanted nothing to do with eating from this bowl. I tried for several days to get him to eat from it. I took away his normal bowl and just left out this bowl. He would walk up to the bowl, look at it and then walk away. He would go lay in his bed and give me the sad eyes with a sigh. He would rather not eat than use this bowl. I am not exactly sure why he didn't like it. Maybe it was the color or he was confused by the design or something else. 


As soon as I received this bowl, my daughter thought it was a marble maze and immediately wanted to use it to play with her marbles. She was so disappointed when I told her it was a pet food bowl. When my dog refused to eat from it, I thought about giving it to her but I noticed on the back of the packaging, it said not to let children play with it. I am wondering why it is safe enough for the powerful jaws of a large dog but not safe enough for a child to handle. I decided against letting her use it and donated it to our local pet rescue to use instead.

Seven Chakras Incense Sticks (Set of 140)




I received this set of seven incense sticks and 1 incense burner to help support the health of my Chakras. Each stick burns for 60 minutes or more so I can relax and enjoy my spiritual calm. Every stick is absolutely free from any charcoals or nasty chemicals. These incense sticks can be used for meditation, reflection and scenting the environment around us.


To use these sticks, simply use a flame to light the tip of the coated end until it glows then gently blow out the flame. Place the stick into the hole on the included holder making sure to place it so that the ashes will fall onto the fireproof surface. Take caution to keep the sticks away from flammable items and never leave the sticks unattended while the are burning. Take care to properly make sure that the stick is completely extinguished. If I need to leave before the stick has fully burned away, I always dip the tip in a small amount of water and let it dry while I'm gone so that I can continue to use it when I return. 
Every scent is different and they all smelled pleasing to me. Each package comes with 20 sticks for a total of 140 sticks in all. It is a great deal for the amount that comes included in this set. This is perfect for anyone who wants to maintain the health and wellbeing of their Chakras.

Here is some interesting information I found about the different types of Chakras:

1st (Red) Root Chakra – Muladhara
It is related to survival, security, and is the closest to the earth, resting at the base of the spine. The color associated with it is red. It is naturally associated with the element earth. To keep this chakra healthy, exercises such as dancing, jogging or jumping are beneficial. We should see if our security needs are being met, and take our power to create our own security in our lives so that our world is a safe and enjoyable place for us. It’s message is, “I exist”. Live your life proudly.
2nd (Orange) Sacral Chakra – Svadhistana
This chakra is related to sensuality, sexuality, and desire for pleasure. It is in the lower abdomen and it’s color is orange. Svadhistana is associated with the element water. Bellydancing, loving partnerships, and yoga can enhance the function of this chakra. This chakra says, “I desire”. Live your passion, whatever that may be. What are your dreams? How do you desire to live? Claim your dreams and go out and make them a reality – give birth to you dreams.
3rd (Yellow) Solar Plexus Chakra – Manipura
It’s color is yellow, and it is related to our power in this world. It’s natural element is fire, and this is where the “fire in your belly” term derives from. An overbearing solar plexus chakra (one not in balance with the other chakras in your system or one where your energy is solely focused) can result in obsessive-compulsive control. A third chakra, or solar plexus chakra, with a healthy flow allows you to control your destiny, feel your power and accomplish your dreams. The message of the third chakra is “I control”. Go forth and control your own destiny and happiness – you deserve it!
4th (Green) Heart Chakra – Anahata
Green is the color of this chakra and it relates naturally to love and compassion, being at our heart center. This fourth chakra is associated with air. Healthy relationships, pets, family, even appreciation of beauty and nature enhance the health of this chakra. Anahata says, “I love”. Let your heart energy flow freely in and out. Be open to receiving the love that is available to you now, the free-flowing love that is your birthright. Sense your Reiki family around the world – feel the great love that you all share and that you selflessly emanate into this world. Shine the love that you are.
5th (Blue) Throat Chakra – Vishuddha
The throat center or communication center is where you speak your truth in this world. It’s color is blue. When this chakra is flowing at optimum levels, you have the ability to ask for what you need. You also reflect your truth in the world through this chakra though your communication. Singing, chanting and breathing exercises can enhance the health of this chakra. The message of the throat chakra is “I express”. Do not suppress your own beautiful voice. Speak your truth, sing your joy, emanate your love through the vibration of your words.
6th (Indigo) Third Eye Chakra – Ajna
The natural color of this chakra is indigo. Insight, intuition, awareness and guidance are the properties of this sixth chakra. This chakra, located between the eyebrows, says, “I am the witness”. Meditation and visualization exercises can assist the healthy flow of this chakra. Be open to your inner guidance. Listen to your thoughts, they will assist you on the right path.
7th (Violet) Crown Chakra – Sahasrara
It is the silence between the space and represents spiritual connection. It is associated with violet or violet-white light, a color many Reiki practitioners are drawn to and use in their work and meditations. Located a little above the top of the head, it represents union, bliss, the knowledge of being at one with all. Cosmic consciousness and peace are the frequency at this chakra. “I am that I am”.

Trek Proof Ice Pack (2-Piece Set) - Reusable Hot and Cold Therapy Gel Wrap Support



As we get older, we tend to experience more aches and pains in our body especially after exercising. I know that I personally seem to have much more muscle soreness and a longer recovery time if I don't take steps to treat or prevent them. I received this two piece set of reusable Hot and Cold Therapy Gel Wraps to review and share my opinion on how they worked for me. 


The package came with two reusable gel packs and 1 adjustable comfort strap. The gel packs can be heated in the microwave or frozen in the freezer so I can get just the right temperature to treat the specific pain or injury that I am suffering from. I can adjust the perfect temperature that I want by adjusting the amount of time I choose to leave it in the freezer or microwave. 


The adjustable wide elastic strap lets me customize it to the part of the body I need to use it on. I can wrap it around my arms or legs but it is also stretches large enough to use on my back and shoulders. The Velcro closure helps to keep it securely in place. It's very soft and comfortable to wear. It didn't bind or cut into my skin while I was wearing it and I was still able to active without experiencing any issues.

Set of 2 Teething Pacifier Clips from Rubbery Enhances Me (Pink/White & Purple/Grey)



 This set comes with two individual pacifier clips that also double as teethers for baby. These come individually packaged so you could give them both as a gift or split them up for two separate gifts. You could also give one and keep one for your own baby or you could just keep them both. They are made of a 100% soft food grade silicone material so they are safe for babies to chew on. The clips are BPA free. They are also free from phthalates, lead and metal. They are hand washable and dishwasher safe. They can be placed in a zippered mesh bag and tossed in the washing machine along with bibs to clean.


 I like the pretty colors of the soft silicone beads. The different shapes and sizes create different feelings for the baby's gums as they chew on them. The beads are soft so they are very gentle to the baby's mouth. The colors will not fade so they will stay the same vibrant colors during usage and after washings.


 Each clip is made with a super durable tear proof ribbon so I don't have to worry about it breaking when the baby tugs and pulls on it. The ribbon loops through the handle of the pacifier and snaps in place to keep the pacifier in reach of the baby. It also prevents the pacifier from falling on the floor or getting lost.


Push down on the top of the clip to open and push on the bottom to close it. It has "teeth" to clamp onto whatever surface I choose to clip it to but it will not do any damage to the fabrics.
The pacifier clip has a break away feature for safety so if it gets caught on something it will unclasp to prevent injury. These are the perfect give to give expecting mothers or babies. We love these.

Teething Pacifier Clip from Rubbery Enhances Me (1 pc) Red/Black/White


 I received this cute 2 in 1 teething pacifier clip from Rubbery Enhances Me to review and share my thoughts on how well it worked for me. The clip is made from 100% silicone so it is safe for baby to chew on. The soft silicone helps to soothe and massage the baby's sore gums. It is free from BPAs, phthalates and metal so it will not rust or leave stains on fabrics. It is dishwasher safe or can be quickly hand washed. It can also be placed in a mesh bag and tossed into the washer to clean.


 The clip has different shapes of beads on a strong tear-proof ribbon so I can be confident that it will not break when baby pulls on it. The are 4 round white beads, 2 square black beads with rounded edges and one red star in the center. 


The large smiling star at the top conceals the clasp which holds the clip onto the clothing, blanket or any other fabrics I chose to clip it to. It is also made of the same soft silicone material as the beads so the baby can chew on it as well. 


Simply pull down on the large star to open the jaws of the clip and push up on it to close the clip. The gripping teeth will not do any damage to fabrics but it will still have enough grasping power to hold the clip securely in place so that the pacifier is safe from falling to the floor or getting lost. This would make the ultimate gift for any expectant parent or baby.

INNX Seatback Storage Organizer for SUV, Minivan and Trucks (48"x12")


I am always looking for ways to keep my life organized and tidy so when it comes to my car, that always seems to be an issue. There are always essential things that I need to have in my vehicle but there is a limited amount of space to keep them and not have them in the way or rolling around all over the place.


This organizer can be used either on the back of the seat or it can be used on the front of the seats. My husband used it in the rear bench seat of his four door truck to keep his things organized. He liked it so much, he told me that I have to order an extra one for him to keep in his truck permanently. All of his coworkers kept asking him where he got it because they wanted one to use in their vehicles as well.


The organizer measures 48 inches in width by 12 inches in length so it is a universal fit for most bench seats in trucks, mini vans and SUVs. The organizer is made of a durable oxford canvas material so it will withstand many uses. The organizer can be wiped down with a wet cloth or it can be washed in the washing machine and hung to air dry.  


 The two center mesh pockets contain two smaller pockets that have a water proof liner so they are perfect for holding liquids such as water bottles or cleaning supplies. They can be easily wiped clean in case of an accidental leak and the liner prevents the spill for damaging other items in the mesh pocket. 


The mesh pockets have a strong elastic binding so they can stretch to hold different shapes and sizes of items securely in place. It will hold a lot of things to keep them up off of the floor and organized for easy access. 


 The backseat organizer quickly attaches to the vehicles headrests with these strong adjustable buckles. There are three straps at the top for the headrests and two straps for attaching to the bottom of the seats to help hold it more securely in place.
I liked using this organizer to store things for my daughter when we went on a road trip for the holidays. When we got to our destination, I just left everything in the organizer and unbuckled it while rolling it up with everything still in it. I just tied the bottom straps around it to keep it rolled up tightly and it doubled as a carrying bag for her stuff. The headrest straps also worked well as handles to make it easy to carry. I could bring everything she needed into the hotel room at once then when we were ready to leave, everything went back into the organizer and snapped back onto the seat.

WearEver Stylish Underwear Review



The topic of incontinence is not something that we like to openly discuss but 35 percent of women will experience it in their lifetime. It becomes a more common experience after having children and as we age. It can be embarrassing and cause us to skip out on fun times in our lives for fear of having leakage. I always hated using the disposable pads that were always slipping out of place and the disposable underwear always felt so bulky to me. 


I was given the opportunity to try a brand of incontinence underwear from WearEver. This particular style of  underwear has the look and feel of traditional underwear but can protect me from light to moderate bladder leaks. WearEver has many options and sizes to choose from on their website. They have products for men and women with different absorbency levels. They have  several promotions going on right now where you can receive a free pair with a purchase of a 3 pack, 2 pairs free with the purchase of a 6 pack and get 3 pairs free with the purchase of a 9 pack.  The more you buy, the more you save and the more free underwear you can receive. It's an awesome deal. They also have bedding products so head over to http://www.weareverincontinence.com to check it out. They have a sizing chart so you can be sure to get the perfect fit. They have lots of styles to chose from and there is even a lace panty that I am planning to purchase. 


I chose to receive my pair in this pretty blue floral pattern. I like that I can feel confident that I am protected from leaks but I can still feel pretty and feminine while wearing them. I don't have to be embarrassed for my husband to see me wearing these panties because they look and fit just like the panties that I normally wear. There is even a lace panty that I am planning to purchase. 


 The panty is very comfortable and the elastic did not dig or cut into my sides or legs. The panty is made of a durable polyester with a waterproof outer layer for double protection while preventing leaks. 


The absorbent panel can hold up to 5 ounces of liquid. It is made of antimicrobial fibers to reduce embarrassing odors caused by bacteria. The panties do not require inserts or the usage of disposable pads. They can be machine washed and dried. These underwear will hold up for 200-250 washes before they need to be replaced. Using these washable incontinence underwear can save me around $500 a year and will keep tons of disposable products out of the landfills.
