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 would definitely do a bright color! Either pink or orange would probably be in the mix 🙂
I think I would try to go with a theme… Like orange and blue and out “go cuse” on the back!
Ooo I’d customize some Nanos! I’ve been wanting to try a pair since they came out. I’d probably make it say something silly or nerdy on the back. Because that’s how I roll.
I would love a new pair of trainers! I accidentally left mine in a hotel last month and never saw them again! I would probably pick a combo of gray/teal because those are my favorite colors right now. I don’t think I would customize mine because I’m not clever at all!
the purple Nano ones with pink for decor ..and I would put on the back “getting there one step at a time”!
I would go into it saying I wouldn’t throw some splashes of pink in there, but they would absolutely come out with splashes of pink. Love the ones you designed, they look speedy!
Nano’s! I’ve heard such great things about them. The blue and pink or the purple color are both so nice. As for the back, I’d have to think about that! Ryan’s gift to you is BEAUTIFUL, what a gem! I’m definitely using your idea too, so sweet!!
I would try the nanos! I always have some pink in my shoes, so I would try a pink/gray combo. I would put 26.2 on the back!
I love your design! These days I’m crushing on pink and gray so that’s probably what my shoe would like like. Maybe add in some neon orange or green.
I would definitely do mostly gray with pops of bright colors! Maybe that light blue or some lime!
I would love the nano speeds and would definitely incorporate some pink in there with my name on the back!
I would totally put the date and city of my next race! Then wear them for training runs and the actual race, so fun!!
I would love to try the nanos! I would definitely do purple of some sort, and would loveeeee to make them exactly how i want them to be!!!
Omgshhh I just love BOTH OF YOUR gifts to each other!! Your note cards are so cute and sweet, and Ryan definitely has amazing taste and knows you very well! 😀
As for the reebok shoes…I’d love to incorporate some kind of gray, light green/mint, and white.
I think I would incorporate something fun! I love bright colors. I don’t think I would have them say anything, but I know without a doubt I would pick a running shoe!
I think I would customize the ZigLite Run! (0= How exciting!
I would use orange and navy blue because I’m a huge Syracuse fan!!! 🙂
I would get some Nano ‘s. Either some pink and grey or a lime green and purple .
I really want to try one of the crossfit nanos and it would definitely have to include turquoise somewhere!
Dots are always my movie candy choice and I never have to share with anyone since they don’t like them.
I would choose the Nano Speeds and I’d probably make them blue and pink. My favorite colors.
I would totally get charcoal grey with coral/pink in them and I’d be super lame and put my name on them because I’m known for losing things!
I would customize a pair of the nano speeds!!
I would love a pair of supportive and comfortable sneakers to wear, especially after I graduate in May and start working as a nurse! I would love to incorporate neon colors, and maybe light blue to represent my college’s colors.
I’m training for my first half marathon, and im looking for new shoes since i’ve worn my current ones out. I’m gonna check out Reebok now–I want yellow and gray shoes!
I would definitely get the Nanos since I need some new shoes for cross-training. I’d have a hard time choosing, but they’d probably involve some light blue and grey.
Nano speed with lots of pink! My initials!
And my customized lettering would probably say something like, “MANIFEST”, hah! Kind of dramatic but I have reasons for that. 🙂
I would love to use the Nano Speed now that I’ve heard such rave reviews about them. I like clean and subtle colors like grey/white/black with hints of color like blue/ purple/green.
I would customize the reebok RealFlex Fusion shoe…using bright FUN colors! I would probably put something like Never Stop or Sweat Pays…. 🙂
I would want to customize the Nanos and would love to use blues in my color choice!
Nano Speeds!
Lots and lots of neon!
The nano speed and proabably navy blue and hot pink!
I’d definitely customize some Nanos. I’ve been desperately wanting a pair for forever, but just bought running shoes…. so it’ll be a while before I can get a pair.
Well i’m not sure which shoe yet, but there would be lots of PURPLE incorporated!! My favorite color and I don’t have athletic shoes in that color (yet?)
How cool! I would definitely use yellow! Yellow is such a happy color and it would get me excited to work out! 🙂
I love bright colors on shoes but in more of an accent than an overall color which seems to be the norm nowadays. It would be awesome to be able to build my perfect color combo! As for what they would say??? I have no idea :o)
I love Dots, too–you are not alone!
When my hyper sister was learning to drive, she would get super excited when a red light would turn green and she would shout “green means go!” and floor it. For some reason, this has actually been one of my weird running mantras (I wear a green watch or bracelet when I race and it reminds me to run faster!). So…I would have to say that if I designed shoes, they would have to be green and, obviously, they would need to say “green means go!”.
Not sure what sneakers I would pick but they would definitely need some bright blue!
I would go for a muted color since a lot of my workout gear is bright. Maybe grey and blue?! I would probably spend too much time on there contemplating like you!
I would do a pair of the Reebok Nano Speed and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the purple, blue, gray combo you did!! I have all tanks in those colors and I think it would look fab! I don’t think I would do any writing though.
I’m feeling bright… I would want a bright green, orange, or pink in my design I think!
I would definitely get the nanos and personalize them with “I think I can”. I a slow runner but while training for my first half I kept saying I was the Little Engine that Could and said it over and over on the tough parts.
I would definitely do hot pink with my name on the back! these are adorable!
Grey with pops of pinks! I’d put.. follow happiness:)
What a fun giveaway! I’m not sure about the colors— maybe greens and pinks?
I’d put DIG on one heel and DEEP on the other… just to remind myself to dig deep and keep going!! 🙂
I would love to customize the nano speed. I don’t do crossfit, but I love to do exercise videos that involve crosstraining and plyo so they seem like a great fit. I would design them with bright colors because I love a cheerful shoe to look at in the morning. I doubt I would put any words on them though, not creative enough. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway
I like the Nano Speed, too!
I would decorate the nano’s. This is great.
If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say? “See ya”
