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.

DermOrganics Review

"DermOrganic® products are made using ingredients that are synergistic to your hair and skin to replenish from the outside what your hair and skin need inside for health and vitality. From the shampoo cleansers made from EFA lipids and amino acids, to conditioners blended with vegetable proteins, to treatments rich in natural moisture factors and all based on a proprietary lipid-rich emulsification systems, DermOrganic products outperform standard hair and skin care formulations to deliver exceptional results to salon treated hair." - from the DermOrganic website



I was pleasantly surprised with these products. First we'll talk about the hair products. Of late, I've been having issues with my hair.  I have to sleep with a CPAP machine and the straps make my hair flat and causes breakage. I started wearing a cap and that has solved the breakage issue, but its still flat.  After just one use of their hair products (shampoo, masque, and leave-in treatment), my hair already looked thicker. It left my hair feeling silky smooth after I washed it and its not so flat on top So I differently recommend these products. Another small notes, the smell of the hair product have a great scent to them.

Now about the facial products. Occasionally I get breakouts so I was excited to see how these products work. They have a soapless facial cleanser, facial moisturizer, and a hand & body moisture lotion. I was very happy with the results. My acne started clearing up almost immediately and it didn't leave my face dried out. And the lotion left my skin feeling soft and smooth. I definitely recommend these products. You can find their products at DermOrganic

CaseApp Review


Ok I have to say that I love personalizing stuff with things I like, I mean who doesn't. So if you like that and you don't have a tendency of dropping your phone, then you need to check it out HERE.  If lack of protection is an issue for you on your phone then this may not be the case for you. That's why this case is great for me but not for Aimee, she drops her phone a lot.This case will keep the back of your phone from minor scratches but not sure how safe it would be to drop it and I'm not going to test it. As you can see from the pictures this case is more for the look and you can pretty much customize it with any picture, including ones uploaded from your owe computer.Their website is very easy to navigate and picking a picture is easy. I got the case pretty quickly after picking the image, took less than a week.

So let's get to this...



Style : Love it, it doesn't add anything to the phone bulk or weight and you can personalize it as you can see I picked my favorite wrestler CM Punk.

Protection : Very little so if you are a person that drops your phone a lot this is not for you but if you are like me and are very aware of your phone safety you should be good but just be careful, this case is very thin and has no protection for the front of the phone.

Price : $34.00 I guess this is for the personalization process, it's a bit much for my taste.

Overall : I love it, but I am very careful with my phone. The personalization is what attracted me to it, the price makes me second guess it, but if you want something personalized its a good deal.
