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”.
