This Halloween is full of treats!
The treats began last night in our house when Ryan and I exchanged our anniversary gifts. I totally dropped the ball and didn’t end up finding anything leather, so I veered from the traditional anniversary gift themes and gave him clothes and a little box of goodies.
I attached little cards to various food and beverage items that I know Ryan likes and used the name of the item in a sentence about why I love being married to him!
For example, attached to a bag of Combos pretzels, I wrote a card that said I love you because “you’re the perfect COMBO-nation of playful, loving, supportive and fun!” On a bag of Smartfood popcorn I wrote, “You’re SMART and challenge me… in a good way!” It was a fun project and I hope it conveyed to Ryan just how much he means to me.
We don’t normally go all-out for anniversary gifts, so I was shocked when I opened Ryan’s gift to me and found a beautiful new leather purse that can be both a cross-body purse or a clutch.
He went above and beyond and saved for it and I absolutely love what he picked out! I was shocked and so impressed and told him that I will wear it all day and all night! He definitely put my gift to shame. Thank you, Ryan!!
Treats continued at work today. Even though I work at a gym, we’re not above celebrating with a little candy!
My coworkers made fun of me because I grabbed a box of DOTS. Do people not like DOTS? I am so out of the loop. It’s not like I was loving on Bit O’ Honeys or something! Give me a little credit!
Once I was done working and teaching, I headed home for a late lunch which came together in no time at all thanks to leftovers.
I reheated last night’s crock pot dish of pulled chicken, potatoes, carrots and onion and ate it with an apple and a Reese’s peanut butter cup.
It was delicious!
And now it’s time to share a little Halloween treat with you!
YourReebok Giveaway
I have a feeling quite a few of you will be pumped for this giveaway!
This month, through my on-going partnership with Reebok, I was able to experience the company’s YourReebok page which allows people to customize shoes using various colors and personalization touches.
Since the Reebok Nano Speed has quickly become by all-time favorite Reebok shoe, I knew they were the pair of shoes I wanted to use as my design guinea pig!
I spent a little too long on the website and think I designed four different shoes before I finally settled on a certain look.
And yes, you can personalize the back of the shoes! I ended up opting out of that feature because I couldn’t think of anything more creative than my name to put on the back of my shoe, but I’m sure people come up with some awesome nicknames or funny taglines!
I played around with super bright colors, muted colors, lots of white and lots of color but in the end I put together a shoe with lots of purple and gray and a touch of light blue.
They should be arriving sometime next week and I am pumped to put them to good use!
And now it’s your turn to customize a pair of Reebok shoes!!! One PBF reader will win a gift card to customize the Reebok shoes of their choice.
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below, answering one (or all) of the following questions:
- Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize?
- What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design?
- If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say?
I will randomly select a winner on Monday morning.
Good luck!!!
Diana G. says
I would love the hot pink shoes! Such a fun way to brighten my morning workouts. I’d also add my twitter handle to the back of the shoes!
Sarah says
I would love to customize a pair of the new Nanos! I would incorporate black & purple into the design, and it would be awesome to put my name on them as well as my CF box’s name!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
Love the idea of putting a shout out to your CF box on your shoes!!
Amanda Gilley says
I would cutomize the crossfit nano speed and definitely incorporate some pink!
Jamie says
I’d go with the Nanos since I’m a CrossFit lover… not sure on the color – I’d probably put my initials on the back! 🙂
Camee says
I would love to customize some shoes with yellow and maybe pink. I always love bright shoes!
Heather says
I’d customize the nano speeds. I already have two pairs but they are so comfortable and versatile! I am partial to blue, but my others are already blue, so maybe purple??
Elise says
I would love to customize the Reebok nano speeds. Definitely would put a little teal/turquoise in there. Love this!
Taylor says
I would love to try out the Reebok Nano Speeds! I wear tons of blue and green so would definitely go with that combo. I would stick with the speed theme and probably write “Vroom” on the back, or something fun like that 🙂
Stephanie says
I don’t know what shoe I would get, but I know it will be hot pink. I would get the letters “SA” for my daughter Sophia and my son Aiden!
Abby Alkire says
I love the idea of putting “Keep Up”, one word on each shoe. It wouldn’t work for me because I am usually trying to Keep up, but it may be fun for someone else.
EB @ Running on E says
I think I would incorporate orange and blue in my design because I am really into that combo right now.
Aubree says
How fun!! I would put a little turquoise and pink into my shoe!
Amanda says
I’d customize the nano speeds…..I would probably use a little aqua and a little fuschia or something of the sort. I would have to use my initials on the back, because let’s face it, I’m southern and EVERYTHING gets monogrammed 🙂
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says
I’d customize the crossfit nano speeds and I’d incorporate some purple, teal and pink!
Laura says
I would probably customize a pair of nanos! I’ve always run in asics, but have considered branching out. I would go for blue or maybe purple, seeing that everything I own is blue!
Katelyn says
I would love the new Nanos! I’m still in the neon/bright color phase so I would definitely incorporate bright colors into the shoes. I would probably put my initials or something fun on the back 🙂
Shelby says
If I were to win this prize I would definitely follow suite and customize the nanos, love them! I love the color scheme of a black or gray base with a bright neon colored accent. The more obnoxious the better haha. On the back I would definitely put “My Arms Are Strong” – it’s a pun on my middle name which is Armstrong.
Krystina says
First off…I love Dots too and I feel like NO one I know likes them either! Oh well…more for me! 🙂
I would definitely incorporate pink and neon green into my shoes! The louder, the better!
Amanda says
I would love to customize a pair of Reebok Running Sneaks in my favorite colors, yellow and pink! I’d want them to really stand out 🙂
Heather Hoyda says
I’d choose the Nano’s to make. I’d try to incorporate some orange and/or green into the shoes. Personalization would have to be my first name Heather on the back like your example.
Kristy says
I would throw some pink and maybe black in there. I also love any shoes with silver. I’d probably try to come up with an inspirational little saying for the back…something like “Run Faster” or “No Excuses”.
Kaitlin says
I would definitely make mine brightly colored… maybe neon green or yellow with grey! And I have no clue what I’d write on them!! haha
Riley says
I would love to try the nano speed since you recommend them! It would be my first pair of Reeboks!
Anna-Kathryn says
I’d have to have either a blue or pink color scheme! Blue is my favorite color, but I have a ton of workout clothes that would match pink shoes!
Jess says
Definitely the Nano’s! I would probably incorporate grey & blue to match most of my workout clothes! If I was to personalize them it would probably be something silly like “Beast Mode” haha
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats says
Such an awesome anniversary present!!
Assuming the giveaway is only open to US residents. If not I’d choose green and blue for my colours and probably put my intials on it 🙂
Bethany says
I would customize with orange and yellow for a fun bright shoe!
Becky says
I would love to customize a pair of the Olympic Lifting shoes. I already have the nano’s and absolutely love them!
Robyn says
I would customize the nano speed as well.
Probably black and the turquoise blue color…with maybe a pop of pink
I’d want them to say Beast Mode
Stacie says
I’ve actually never had Reeboks (for running shoes anyway), so I would be very excited to try them! All the colors look great, but I realy like the combo of blue, grey and purple in the last picture.
Paige says
I would definitely do the nano’s too, maybe in pink and grey?!
Abbey says
OMG I would LOVE to win this! I’m sure mine would involve a bright blue/aqua/teal and maybe some pink or dark purple! Thanks so much for the great giveaway!
Veronika says
What an awesome giveaway! I would love to have some tricked out purple and lime green Reeboks with “Stay Gold” on the back. (:
Amanda B says
I need a pink pair of tennis shoes!
Kyra says
I would love to customize the nanos! I have heard so much about them in the blog world. I love the purple!
Amy B says
So cute!! I would probably put something like “do work” or “get it done” – haha!
Rachael says
Nano’s with pink, green and white. Probably with either my monogram (b/c I’m a southern girl!) or “Vibe” because I would love to wear them to a Zumba/Hip Hop class that I take called Ska Vibe.
Rebeka says
1.Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize? I like the real flex scream!
2.What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design? I’m a sucker for black and pink usually, but I love the blues you have going on up there so maybe I’d have to do something like that.
3.If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say? #getitgurl
Also, RYAN! GOOD JOB! That purse is gorgeous and so totally you!! Happy anniversary again.
Oh, and P.S. Bit-O-Honey over Dots all day long! 🙂
Arianna says
I would love to try the Reebok nano speeds since you speak so highly of them!! I think would incorporate the colors purple and gray, but I love color so any color would be perfect!! If I were to personalize my shoe, I would want it to say, keep moving!! A little motivation on your shoe wouldn’t hurt =)
Leah says
The nano’s with some pink and blue in there!
Devon says
Love this! Would do mint and white probably!
Carrie S says
I am thinking some shoes with a little green in them would be cool!!
Rachel W says
I would go with the crossfit nanos. I’ve heard such good things about them and would be a perfect way to try them out!
Ashley says
I would love to customize ANY of them, but probably the nano’s if I have to choose one ;). I’d definitely do coral and navy!
Betsy says
I would love nano 3.0. Im not decided on colors yet but something fun and bright for sure. I would have each foot say BOO. That has been my nickname since i was a kid!
Caitlin says
I would choose the nanos. I have never owned a pair of reeboks and I trust your judgement 🙂 I would definitely go for a purple or lime green, maybe a combo of the two. I Don’t think I would write anything on them though, I am not creative enough!
Kate says
I would try the Reebok Nano Speeds — because I have yet to try a Reebok shoe! I’m a die-hard asics fan and since shoes are so darn expensive, I haven’t taken the plunge and changed to another shoe! I would definitely incorporate pink/coral and yellow!
Aimee says
On the back I would put something inspirational! These shoes are so cool!
Lexie says
I love these shoes! I love that clothing and gear can make running easier AND more fun! I think I would choose a burnt orange color with white (Hook ’em horns!) and since I monogram anything and everything, I might just stick with my initials. Love it!
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs says
I’d love to customize some Nanos — I’m in desperate need of some new cross training shoes, and I think these would be perfect! I’d probably do something in the purple family because most of my workout gear seems to be purple!
Alos, beautiful purse!! Way to go, Ryan! 🙂
