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!!!
Nikki says
Nana Speed. I would write “Nikki kicks butt”
Kat says
I would love to use some sort of green, grey and coral combination. I’ve never seen something like that in a store and I am a big fan of unique sneakers!
Laura says
Alright, fine. Halloween admission time – I went to the store and bought another bag of candy “b/c we didn’t have enough”. I brought home a tootsie combo bag, and then hoarded half of the Dots for myself. I LOVE DOTS!!!!!
Reebok – I would probably go with green. I don’t know why, but I have bright blue Mizunos. Green just sounds like fun.
Kristin says
I would love some hot pink and black shoes with my initials on the back. 🙂
Melanie says
I think I’d want to customize the CrossFit Nano 3.0. I don’t CrossFit, but I’ve heard great things about these shoes, and I think they would be perfect for strength and cardio circuit workouts!
Laura says
I would probably go for some neon colors!! I would love to have a “fun” pair of sneakers. I always end up with the most boring looking ones.
Haley @Cupcakes and Sunshine says
I would choose the Nano speed as well! Love them.
Tiffany says
I would love a pair of Nanos! I think I would lean towards purple-aqua-coral/pink! Is there any way I can get ALL the colors!? 🙂
Nancy says
I LOVE the Nano Speeds in neon yellow and candy pink! I’d personalize them with either “Run Now – Wine Later” or “No Finish Line”
Kayla says
Ryan did such a great job on your gift! I loved your super cute idea for all of his favorite things!
I would choose the nano speed and put all kinds of different colors on it. I love the shoes that are so colorful – they match everything. 😉 On the back of the left shoe I would put my first intial “K” and on the right shoe I would put “B”, the initial for my last name. I just recently got married and love using “B” on everything!
Jackie says
Your purse is beautiful!
I think I would customize the Nanos (since you like them so much.. I’ve been wanting to try them for a while)
I would probably incorporate blue since its my favourite colour..
and not sure I would personalize them!
Stacey says
I need a new pair of shoes, so I would love to create my own! I think I would do different shades of purple with silver. I would most likely not put my name but possibly my initials. What a cool idea!!!
Mary Kate says
I love your blog! So full of great information! I would love to design a grey/black/yellow pair! How fun would that be. Also I would probably put “Never Stop” on the back. That’s what I tell myself when I work out!
Ashley Mitchell says
Nano speed! and LOTS of bright colors, I love when my shoes pop 🙂 Probably mixes of yellow/orange? Something different for sure! And as far as personalizing them, I’m not sure that I would but if I did it would be my initials 🙂
Danielle says
I would get the Realflex scream and would get them in teal and black. If I were to personalize I would put my first name.
Rachel says
I would go with the Nanos and the color purple would have to be incorporated since it is my favorite!
Erin says
I would love a pair of neon nano’s! Bright colors on my sneaks balance my drab black and gray workout outfits
Abby says
I love the idea of personalizing shoes! Mine would definitely be purple and gray. I think I would put “Work Hard” on one shoe and “Play Hard” on the other. It motivates me 🙂
Aimee Petchauer says
I am SOOOO in need of new shoes! To design my own pair would be Awesome!!
Aimee Petchauer says
Forgot…WERQ on one HARD on the other!
Chrissy says
I would definitely go for a pair of blue/white nanos! Feeling good in my gym gear usually pumps me up for my workouts. As for customizing, I’d probably go for something funny, like “If you can read this… help!”, because if anyone gets that close to my feet, I’ve probably taken a fall 😉
Alicia says
I so need a new pair of shoes!! I would love the Nano and I would have then multi-colored! I’m not sure that I would personalize them.
Val says
I would do the crossfit nano so I could use them for my gym class. I normally go for bright colors so I’m sure they would include pink, orange and yellow!
Leah says
I would also get the Reebok Nano Speed in University of Kentucky colors with my name on them. I would love to win this giveaway!
Kristen says
I would pick the Reebok Nano Speed, I have been wanting them for a while! I think I would add Pink and Gray to mine!
Jackie says
I would definitely customize the Nano 2.0 or 3.0 – I have the speeds and love them but would love to try the straight Nanos! 🙂
Shanna says
I love bright colors… pink, yellow, blue!!
Lucy says
I would love a pair the new Reebok Nanos; my old ones are getting pretty beat up. I’d either go with a light aqua blue or coral but I don’t think I’m clever enough to personalize the back either! Thanks for the great giveaways Julie!
Julie says
I’d make a bright pair!
April V says
I would customize the CrossFit Nano 2.0
Shannon says
I would definitely use some bright, neon colors…these always seem to encourage me to lace up and get moving!
April V says
I would choose the colors Team Purple & Neon Vitamin C!
Julia G says
BRIGHT GREEN SHOES that is the way to go
Nicole @ Fueling Happy says
What a creative gift! Also, the bag is beautiful, well done Ryan.
I would be on the site forever trying to pick colours. I don’t even know where I’d start. I would customize the RealFlex and I’d want them to say FUELING HAPPY!
Happy Anniversary.
Lauren says
I would go for a pair wit light purple!
Tory Street says
I think I would do the Ziglite Rush or Realflex strength. I work for a university so I would have customize in our school colors blue and gold (maybe some grey accents thrown in there)! And if I was going to customize them I would probably have to have them say Game Face since that’s what every one called me in college (haha although not always for the most athletic reasons).
Felicia says
i have been searching for Reebok sneaks for a while now, and cant find them in stores! running sneaks arent cutting it for the gym anymore, neeeed these! I would pick the nano speed in lots of neon blue/pink/yellow.
Janet says
I totally need new shoes! I really want to try the Nano Speed since you love them so much and speak so highly of them. I think I’d do a purple (my college –JMU! colors) and maybe grey or something else. Can’t wait to try out the website! 🙂
Meredith says
I love the nanos! pink and like neon green would be awesome!
April V. says
I would love to try the Nano Speed with some shades of blues and greens!
Amanda S. says
Oh my goodness I did not realize how many times I would have to choose a color – literally every.single.part of the shoe! I had fun and designed a multi-color Reebok Crossfit Nano Speed that included neon yellow, pink, black, light blue and white and had the word “SANITY” written on the back (because running is what keeps me sane after a long day with the kids!).
Elizabeth says
I would do either the nano or the nano speed.
Lexi Caldwell says
Cross fit nano 3.0s with lots of pinks to keep me cheery while working out! I would have to customize them with my name, just in case they ever get misplaced.
Nicole A. says
I’ve had a custom pair of Crossfit Nano’s sitting in my Reebok shopping cart for a month now waiting to pull the trigger on the purchase! They are coral and black and super awesome! Loved playing with the tool and designing the perfect color combo for my personality 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
Kayla N says
I would customize the nano speed and I think I would try to go as neon and bright as possible. Love this!
Amy says
I desperately need a new pair of shoes! I would probably start looking for a bright neon pair of CrossFit Nano’s! Fun and inspiring at the gym. If I were to put a name on it – I’d probably put either ‘Believe’ or ‘Inspire’.
Molly says
I have been wanting a pair of shoes with purple in them and maybe some neon green or pink? Something bright for sure! On the back of the shoes I would have BAM put on because that is the saying me and my 2 friends always said when we were training for our marathon together!
elizabeth says
I would make mine pink. My all time favorite color!
Alex says
I want the Nano Speed in pink and yellow!
Nicola Bam says
OH wow – what fun!! I can customiz my shoes now – so Ijust read molly’s response and she said she would put BAM! – that’s cool – I always put bam on things becasue its my last name! So it adds to the fun of it!
But I would probably put “Bamsy” because that is what my fiance held up on a sign all the way through my first half marathon a month ago. He was great! so… BAMSY!!!
Kortney says
Teal, gray, and white!
