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!!!
Jessica says
Neon nanos for sure!
Iris says
I would love some Nanos!!
Taylor Jordan says
I’m not sure which pair I would choose, but I love bright colors in workout gear. I would probably use bright pink and turquoise maybe. Personalizing them sounds pretty cool, I might would put a nickname or maybe initials! What a great giveaway!
Nicole S says
Such a fun giveaway! I would do something teal and grey – I’ve always loved those together. I would probably put Minksy on the back because that’s what my boyfriend calls me 🙂
Kristen says
I would personalize my shoes to say “Renew” because that is my Mom’s motto when it comes to health. She is a very active person and likes to look at fitness as a renewal process for mind, body and spirit. I like to use this as my motivation when I don’t feel like working out.
Donna says
Blue!!!
Jessica y says
Nanos for sure! Love!!!!
Brittany gieseke says

Nik says
I would DEFINETELY do neon! Maybe pink or orange! I love neon workout attire it really pumps me up for some reason!
Megan says
Definitely a pair of nanos! Id probably go with black, grey and blue. I think something motivational would be great on the back. “Just keep running” or “get going!” or something along those lines.
Caitlin says
I would love to customize a pair of turquoise and black shoes!
Dana says
That purse is absolutely gorgeous! Such a classic that you will have forever! You guys are both so lucky to have each other!!
april says
i love your new purse – ryan did a great job picking out your anniversary gift! 🙂
oh man, i used to love DOTS when i was a kid! they were so chewy and delicious. i think i liked them because i literally only ate them on halloween (i don’t think i’ve actually seen them anytime else).
i would most likely choose purple or aqua – the brighter the colors, the better! 🙂
Sarah B says
I would love the nanos in yellow and grey!
Kristen says
I probably would take forever to figure out what I want, but it would be awesome & I actually need new sneaks!
Dana says
Definitely a black shoe with colored accents and my initials!
Amy J says
This is such an awesome giveaway! If I win, I’d love to add a short inspirational phrase to the back of my shoes – maybe something like “run faster” or “be strong.”
Ashley W says
I would incorporate any color that is bright and annoying. I love neon colors!
liz @ sweat-happy.com says
I’d give the gift card to my bf so he can customize a pair of Nano 3.0s since he’s been wanting a pair for awhile now!
Katie says
Not sure of the shoe type, but I would definitely have some combination of blue and green, and maybe pink too!
Kelli says
The Nano’s for sure!!!! Hmmm…….colors?!!! The are just so many cute color combos, it would be a hard decision to make! :0)
Sarah says
I love the Nanos! I’d do blue and orange, and have them say WAR EAGLE for Auburn…or CALLIE for my sweet lab who can no longer keep up with my running pace, but I could still have her on runs with me. 🙁
Manrique says
I’d get the Nano 3.0s and definitely customize them but not sure exactly what just yet.
melanie says
I would do red, navy blue, and grey! I’ve actually designed some before but can’t afford to buy right now. I’d love to win this!
Christine says
Nano! I’m like you where I’d have no idea what writing to put so I’d leave it blank. I’d choose seafoam green and neon yellow!
Meredith F. says
I would LOVE some crazy neon shoes…maybe a little neon yellow and pink! I’m big into running and my last name is Forrest, so personalization’s gotta be “Run Forrest…Run” 😉
Kate says
I would love a new pair of shoes! I would put key empowering works on my shoes…such HARDCORE, STRENGTH, RUNNING TO EAT, POWER!
Jen says
Definitely a pink and gray theme. My last pair of running shoes was pink & gray and I loved them……then they discontinued the line (womp womp). Would love a custom pair of shoes!
Rebekah B says
Definitely the Nano, and my would have some sort of bright pink on them
Lindsae says
I would definitely customize the nano 3’s. I would most likely make them white, red, and black. And unless I become ultra creative in the next few weeks, no customization for me!
mary says
Pink and green and I would totally put my name on them!
Nalani says
I would choose the Nanos and since I usually wear all black to workout, I’d make the shoes pop with bright green and yellow.
Erica says
I would definitely get the nano speeds because I am constantly changing up my workouts and usually find myself hopping on and off the treadmill to complete strength exercises in between sprints. As for the color, I really love the blue color and would probably pair it with pink or purple.
Ashley V says
I’m sure it would take me ages to decide, but I know I’d use mostly purple. I love to run, so I think it would be really fun to incorporate that somehow with a little catch phrase or something!
Erin T says
I’d probably customize the Nanos! I love bright colors and would choose blues and greens.
Brenna says
I would love the nanos! Something I could wear to cross-train, as I usually just invest in running shoes.
Mia A. says
I would love this! I think I would want some bright blue colors!
Jeanne says
I would incorporate lots of purple!
Krysten says
I would choose pink and orange 🙂 and probably put my name on them, that’s an awesome special touch. Or maybe just the word, “RUN!”
Lisa McGeen says
Not sure what type but purple for sure.
Holly M. says
There would HAVE to be red in my shoes!! It’s the color of competition and victory 🙂
Kelsey says
I would use as many bright neon colors as possible and put my last name “Host” and maybe the name of my crossfit gym!
Katie Heddleston says
Ohh making your shoes is so fun! I’ve done this once with Reebok and would love to do it again! My first pair I went crazy and they are so loud with purple and pink with splashes of yellow and blue – this time maybe I would pick something a little less crazy and do grey with some pale pink or green!!
Keirstin says
If I was able to customize the reebok shoes, I would cohos the CrossFit Nano Speed! They would be perfect for the CrossFit classes I do and could be used when I run! It’s the perfect combination! The colors would be orange and black because to me those colors stand out and look really good on shoes!!!
Taylee says
I would pick a combination of bright colors because I love bright shoes! Hope I win because I’m in need of a new pair of tennis shoes!
Caitlin says
I would probably use some blue/green/purple. great giveaway!
