PixieTails Flow Wand Review

Hey fellow internet bloggers.  This post will be reviewing a PixieTails flow wand and shop experience.  First of all, what is flow and why does it have a wand?  There are many definitions of flow, the ones that fit best I've found are: "To move or run smoothly with unbroken continuity, as in the manner characteristic of a fluid.", "To proceed steadily and easily.", "To exhibit a smooth or graceful continuity".  These are just a few I found that fit best to this kind of flow's definition.  Flow isn't just held to a wand, but can be things such as staffs, hoops, poi, and others.  You can always look up flow wanding or flow in general on YouTube to which you will find many videos of awesomeness.  For the sake of this post though we will be focusing on a flow wand.  A wand can vary in length and either comes in short string or long string.  The wand is balanced so, if done right, will appear to be standing up on it's end in mid air.  In the end though, it really is an illusion.  I'm honestly not sure how to explain the illusion so, again, I recommend looking up flow wand videos.  Now onto the review!

How I cam into possession of this flow wand is that Izabelle (the owner of PixieTails) contacted me about doing a shop trade.  I would receive a product I wanted while I made her a decoden phone case.  I gladly accepted and we started talking about what designs we would like.  For my flow wand I asked for a short string reflective pink and white swirl.  I asked her what length of wand she would suggest and said 24 inches was the best.  During the designing process, Izabelle was a sweetheart, kind, and patient with me.  She even made two flow wands with two different types of pink reflective tape for me to pick from.  On her Instagram she posted videos of her testing each wand out for me as well so I could see them in action.  

No flash

Shipping was excellent and on time.  The wand was wrapped in two separate layers of brown construction like paper.  Once unwrapped (from a previous flow wand I purchased from her), there is a business card, a sticker, and the flow wand.  This time I received a not from her thanking me for doing the shop trade.  The short string was wrapped around the wand to prevent it from tangling during the shipping process.  

Flash

The flow wand itself was exactly what I was expecting and then some.  Upon using the wand, it was a little odd to balance it but that is due to me being used to my 26-27 inch flow wand I previously purchased from PixieTails.  After getting used to the wand length, I've had so much using it.  Since it is a reflective wand, when a camera's flash is on, it will look like it has LEDs within it.  This aspect is really cool for when I make videos with it.  I love using it in the dark with the flash on because it adds to the illusion of it floating on it's own and it just looks really kick butt.  

Overall, I give PixieTails a 5 out of 5 stars.  Customer service is always on point and the product and previous product I've purchased are amazing quality.  To see the wand in action, you can watch a video here (go to 3:29).  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns leave a comment!

Survive till next time my fellow internet bloggers.
