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!!!

I’d choose a neon pink and purple combo and put “Do Work” on the back to pump me up 🙂
I would probably customize the back of them to say “Hope”- the name of my alma mater and one of my favorite words! 🙂
I like the look of the Nanos. I would absolutely have to have lime green in my shoes! I would probably put something motivating like “Strength” on the back
#3. Dedicated. To my almost 3 year anniversary of a 45 pound weight loss!
Nanos!
I would choose the nano’s and definitely use purple !!
I would do something with a tint of neon. I like traditional colors on my tennis shoes, so adding the neon would add a great color pop!
I would love to design the nano speed with some seriously bright colors!
I am dying to try the Nanos since you have been raving about them! If I could choose any colors they would be hot pink and/or electric orange – those colors make me so happy to put my shoes on and get active! Thanks for the chance to win, Julie!
These would be perfect! I’m in desperate need of some new kicks. I would make them grey and blue then personalize them “squat”.
I like the Nano’s in purple/gray or maybe red/pink/gray
Lusting over new shoes!
I would customize my colors using pink and teal! And, since I love kickboxing class I would customize the left shoe to say “Keep” and the right shoe to say “Kicking”!
Love all the color options!!
I would make my shoes robin’s egg blue and white, the perfect combination! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I would choose the nanos using mostly dark purple with some bright accent color(s) but no personalization!
I would choose a pair of nanos and deck them out in neon pink and green!!! My fave colors 🙂
Oh my gosh…I would just die for a new pair of sneakers! I love purple and aqua…or anything neon! I need a new pair of workout shoes to get ready for my wedding in June 🙂
I would absolutely customize the Nano Speeds in a combo of the neon cherry, neon yellow, blue move, and blue blink. I’d customize them with my initials “EMP” on the back.
Awesome giveaway! Super duper hoping to win!!
I like their design on the ATV19. Pink and blue or pink and purple are the way I would go with Angela as my personalization.
I would love new shoes! I would incorporate a baby blue and some soft orange colors into the shoe! My two favorite colors!
Hey Julie! First of all – love your gift for Ryan. I’m thinking of doing something similar for my husband in a few months! As for the Reebok giveaway…
1) Nano Speeds hands down. Definitely in need of a solid multi-purpose cross training and running shoe.
2) Yellow, deep blue, and pink. Check ’em out! –> http://shop.reebok.com/us/custompd/?recipeId=1019213&cm_mmc=RBKEmail_TL_YourReebok-_-131031_YR_Share-_-v01-_-TopNav_View_Design_Link&cm_mmca1=US
3) If I were to personalize them, they would probably say “00” – my husband’s college basketball number. That or “Kipping it Real” – CrossFit reference.
🙂
I’ve never owned Reebok shoes, so I would probably go with the Nano Speeds since you’re always raving about them! I’m really digging coral lately, so I would probably make them gray with a few pops of coral.
Purple and pink nanos! Also, DOTS are wonderful! But I also like a Bit O’Honey every now and again (not all the time because they’re way addicting).
I would pick pink and yellow!
Pink with “catch me if you can”..ok that’s kinda cheesy but can’t think of anything off the top of my head lol
I think I would want to try out the nano speeds! I’d love them to be funky colors like a bright green and some blues!
I would love to try the Reebok Nano Speed shoes- I’ve heard great things about them!
I would pick some Nano’s for sure!
I would customize a pair of nanos- not sure if I would go for the 2.0 or the 3.0s, though!
I would love a pair of the Nano Speeds! I just spent way too much time designing my own….whoa. I really like the neon green and blue combo with white and black… most of my workout gear consists of white, black, and blue, so I would definitely go that route. And as far as personalizing them, I’m with you; I would feel weird just putting my name on them! But that’s all I can think of :). Maybe 13.1 to always remind myself of a goal I was really proud of attaining (running a half marathon after years of saying I would never be able to). Thanks, Julie!
I would love to try the Nanos…anything bright! Maybe coral and gray…or purple with a little bit of fluorescent…so many options! It would probably take me another hour and a half to decide what to personalize them with 🙂
I would choose Nano 3s!
Lots of bright blue and green and my favorite motto…embrace the suck!
I would customize the reebok nanos for sure! I would pick navies, blues, and probably some neons into my shoes! I’m not too creative, but I’d maybe put something about LSU for the tag line!
Would love to try the Nano Speed! I like the idea of Ultra Violet, Sonic Green, and Black. Could be a great combo of morning workout motivating colors!
I would go with a neon pair of Nanos, I am a sucker for bright colors. I love the purse, it is gorgeous and so versatile!
I would have a purple/black color combo and write something motivating on the back.
If I could write anything on the shoes it would be ‘I bust mine, to kick yours’
hehe 😉
I would love the Nano 3’s with a light blue base, black lining layers and bright yellow highlights! Love it!
Happy anniversary and happy Halloween! Love your thoughtful gift to Ryan and love your new purse! I can’t wait to see how you wear it.
I would customize the CrossFit Nano 3.0 in Blue Move, Neon Cherry, and Steel. I cant’t think of anything clever to personalize the shoes with, so I’m not sure if I’d do that.
I love the purple and black combo.
What a treat–the RealFlex Scream 2.0 woudl be a blast to design!
I would definitely put some purple with melon or black or bright green. I would customize shoes that were good for crossfit.
I would definitely put something motivating on the back, but I would probably need a little time to come up with it…what an awesome option!
If I could customize my own shoes, I would pick the nano as well! I would make something darker with blues and greens and yellows and put a word of encouragement on the back, something like keep and going. Hope I win!
The nano speeds would look pretty awesome in orange!
I would definitely include pink and purple on my shoes!
I would use some black and pink!
I would love to design the Nano Speed in black, pink, and yellow. I just got married, so I would put Mrs. B on the back of the shoe. Happy Anniversary!!!
I would make mine pink and black and write my initials on the back
