PROXI Cleaning Products Review


PROXI has an amazing line of cleaning product and we were very anxious to review all the products. There are 12 different products, from Home Care, Personal Care, and even Oral Care. You can find the products at proxiproducts.com. Now let's get into the reviews:

PROXI Daily Shower Cleaner- The shower cleaner is a great product. It has kept our shower free from mildew and soap scum with just spraying it after each shower. It's such an easy product to use. 

PROXI Multipurpose, Bathroom, and Kitchen Disinfectant Cleaners- The disinfectants work great. They can clean almost anything,  we love to use the Kitchen and Multi-purpose on the kitchen counters. The products work great with very little residue. The only downfall is that sometimes you get a white residue on your hands, from the peroxide.

PROXI Dish Soap Concentrate- The dish soap is another great product. It did a great job cutting grease and leaving no residue. 

PROXI Automatic Dish Detergent Pods- These worked great in the dishwasher the dishes always came out spotless.

PROXI Foaming Hand and Hand soap- The hand soaps were pretty awesome they always left our hands feeling clean,hydrated, and smelling great. 

PROXI Body Wash and Body Wash for Men- The body wash was fantastic, they have lots of bubbles that gently cleansed our skin without being to harsh or drying it out. 

PROXI Anti-Cavity Whitening Toothpaste- Cody really liked the toothpaste because it left his mouth feeling fresh and clean. I didn't really like it, I couldn't get past the peroxide taste. 

PROXI Mouth Rinse- The mouthwash was really good at killing germs and removing stains but neither one of us liked the taste. 

"PROXI® Products uniquely combine hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with carefully-selected ingredients based on human and environmental safety profiles. Long recognized as a trusted ingredient for more than 100 years, H2O2 cleans powerfully and breaks down to just water and oxygen, eliminating concerns over left-behind residuals. Developed for consumers seeking high performance, green attributes, value, quality and wellness in the products they use." -from proxiproducts.com

Kicking Horse Coffee Review


Kicking Horse Coffee is a pretty amazing company, they have all different kinds of coffees, teas, and chocolates. Today we are going to be reviewing one of their coffees, Kick Ass. It is a dark strong blend that is sweet and smoky. This is some great coffee. Cody is a big fan of strong coffee so he loved it. I, on the other hand, usually like a medium roast. But I did love this coffee it's not overpowering like most strong coffees. We got the coffee beans but they also sell ground coffee. If you are a coffee fan I really do suggest you try this coffee. If you're not a coffee fan then you should try some of their teas.
Kicking Horse Coffee is a Canadian company that has been in business for over 15 years. You can purchase their products at kickinghorsecoffee.com

Tuna Squish Review


The Tuna Squish is an awesome little gadget. Its a very useful product for any tuna lover. But it doesn't only work on tuna it will work on any caned meat. You see the main goal and tag line of the Tuna Squish is NEVER TOUCH YOUR TUNA. And it does just that. The product is very easy to use.

Step 1- Place opened can in Tuna Squish and squeeze the handle closed.
Step 2- Turn sideways to drain the liquid.
Step 3- Separate handles, magnet in upper handle lifts lid off can, remove can.
Step 4- Press fin button to release the lid into the trash.


Its that easy, no more worries about cutting yourself on a sharp lid or getting messy tuna juice everywhere. If you love tuna and eat a lot of it, we recommend this product. You can purchase one at tunasquish.com. They retail for $9.99.

A Tate Update

Hello everyone it has been quite sometime since we have wrote a post. Some of you may know why and some may not. At the beginning of this year we found out we were going to be parents. For those first couple months the morning sickness was pretty bad. But on November 8, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl, Amelia, into this world. She was 6 pounds 15 ounces and 19 inches long.
Throughout the pregnancy I had something called white coat syndrome where almost every time I went to the doctor my blood pressure was high but when I would check it at home it was always normal. Because of this they wanted to induce me at 39 weeks. We went in to the hospital on Thursday night at 6:30. I did not start to dilate until late Friday night. But when I started to dilate I went from a 1 to a 9 in a matter of three hours and was unable to get an epidural, I was able to get pain medicine to help with the contractions. And luckily because I could feel everything it only took about five pushes, maybe 15 minutes, for her to come out. Because the pain medicines were still in my system she wasn't breathing right away but when she did and I heard that cry it melted my heart. Me and Cody are totally head over heels in love with our baby girl.

Too Much Information, by: David Haskell, Book Review


When I saw this book was available to be reviewed I was very excited. It looked very intriguing and I was looking forward to trying out a new genre. The book is very well written, but as I was reading it I slowly became aware that the techno thriller genre doesn't really capture my interest. It has great mystery and suspense but the subject just couldn't hold my attention.
I've started a new position at work so it may just be the fact that I have to much on my mind right now. I will be giving this book another go in the future, maybe in a few months. If you love techno thriller books then you should give this one a try. If you don't then this is probably not the book for you.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Pretzel Crisps Review


We love pretzels and we love chips and now we can have the best of both worlds with Pretzel Crisps. The taste and texture of a pretzel and the ability to dip or stack like chips and crackers. The flavors are amazing. Cody's personal favorite was the Garlic Parmesan and the Chipotle Cheddar. I enjoyed all of the hot ones, they are so full of flavor. They offer ten different flavors: Classic, Supreme, Tuscan Three Cheese, Cinnamon Toast, Original, Garlic Parmesan, Buffalo Wing, Everything, Sesame, JalapeƱo Jack, and Chipotle Cheddar. And for the holidays they have Dark Chocolate & Peppermint and White Chocolate & Peppermint. You can buy Pretzel Crisps at a local retailer or from Pretzel Crisps.


"Pretzel Crisps® are a modern twist on an old favorite.  They combine the best part of the pretzel – all the flavor and crunch – but lighter, crispier and more versatile than ever before.  Since 2004, Pretzel Crisps® have reinvented the pretzel category winning over the hearts and taste buds of snackers everywhere as the world’s first spreadable pretzel-shaped cracker.  With its thin, crunchy, high-quality ingredients and sweet and savory flavors, it’s no wonder Pretzel Crisps® are the go-to, better-for-you snack choice."
We would just like to say, we enjoyed every second of this review. This product has become a must buy in the Tate household and if you like pretzel we highly recommend this product.

Krave Beef Jerky Review



First off I have to say i was very excited to review this product, Krave Beef Jerky is right up my ally. I love meat, what can I say. I've tried not eating meat, it lasted about a week then I broke down and ate some delicious bacon. So when the wife (Aimee) came to me and said eat this meat and write a review for it I said "thank you." 
Krave jerky is awesome. They have a great variety of cool flavors that use all natural ingredients. I use to think that all jerky was dry and leathery strips of meat and that's how it was supposed to be. Man was I wrong, Krave Jerky is so moist and beautiful and tender. Oh how I wish there were more words in the dictionary, that I could think of at this moment, to explain the taste of this Jerky. It almost melts in your mouth, and you don't feel like you just ate something that was sitting in a vat of salt. Or something that was attached to a shoe at some point in time like some of the gas station Jerky I have had. The only time I have had something like this was when I have had home made jerky. But even then I have never had any with these flavors (Black Cherry Barbecue, Basil Citrus, Chili Lime, Garlic Chili Pepper, Lemon Garlic, Pineapple Orange, Grilled Sweet Teriyaki, and Sweet Chipotle) you can order them from KRAVE.
If you like jerky you will love this jerky, heck if you don't like jerky (like Aimee) you will more than likely love this jerky (like Aimee) it's just that good.
