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!!!
Miss Polkadot says
I’ll admit I’ve spent quite some time playing around with the custom designs, too, so I completely get what you’re talking about – who wouldn’t?!
Anyway, I think I’d go with the RealFlex Scream 2.0 and definitely incorporate coral into the design.
Pam S says
You’ve got me sold on the Nana Speeds in black with neon accents.
Pam S says
Neon – not Nana – where does auto correct come up with these words?
Lee says
Oh I would LOVE these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sarah S says
OMG I would so do a pink and black/white/grey pair!!
Alia says
My favorite color is green so they would have to have that on them and I’d probably put my name on them.
Michelle B. says
I would make mine teal!
Julie Miller says
I would design and personalize the womey ziglite rush. I am totally in love with the pink and grey with just a touch of black. To personalize I would put my maiden name, which is what my calls me anyway. It would put me in touch with my younger days when I used to run all the time. I’m also excited because I just talked my husband into doing a 5K with me. New shoes would be icing on the cake.
Jessica says
I love bit o honey’s!!!!! 🙂
Rebecca says
I think I would customize a pair of Nanos – I’ve been working out in running shoes, and I want to start circuit training a lot more after the NYC marathon on Sunday, so I want lower, more stable shoes!
TESS says
WOMEN’S REEBOK CROSSFIT NANO 2.0
Navy and Neon
“Run Faster”
Kaitlyn says
I typically stay within the hot pink/black range in workout shoes, so I would definitely venture to the brighter colors if I won this giveaway!
Stacy says
I’d personalize the ZigLite Run, probably in hot pink.
AJ says
BEAUTIFUL purse! you guys go all out for celebrations, I love it! And I like DOTS too! My coworker made fun of me because apparently kids don’t like them…but this girl does!

Ashley says
I would probably personalize the nanos-it would be fun to play around with the colors!
Kylie says
I love the Nano Speed too! I would use purples and blues…my shoes now are bright blue so I need something a little darker!
anna maria says
I would love to have black and grey in my shoes.
Kristen says
Hi! Your anniversary gift was super thoughtful!
I would totally personalize the Nanos with purple, grey and black and they would say “keep going” and hopefully it would work,
….haha!
Thanks!
Kristen says
I would customize the Nano! I LOVE grey and yellow! I’d customize them to say RUN GIRL!
Lisa curtis says
I would get the nano in yellow and turquoise and personalize it with the word FLASH!
Also, I am a 53 yr old female that has trained differently for the last year. I took 30 minutes of my PR half marathon and have continued to set new PR’s for myself. Just wanted you to know I tried your circuit workout with the jump rope. Not sure what it was called exactly but began with 10 minute elliptical, one round of your circuit and then a 10 minute mile. My goal is to do 3 rounds. Wow, that was some workout for this old lady! Kudos to you for your exercise routines! Whew.
Jackie says
I would LOVE to design a pair with a purple color scheme. I love all shades of purple and could easily see myself spending way too much time on the website designing a pair! I’d also love to put my name on the back (like you did) or even a short quote on the shoes (one more mile) to keep me motivated 🙂 awesome giveaway!
ClevelandJoe @ The Frolicking Fells says
I’d put mine in orange and brown. Gotta represent my Cleveland Browns!
Anna says
I would def love the new nanos!! I love blues and purple and maybe coral. If I did personalize them, I might monogram them 🙂
Julie M says
Dots are severely underrated candy. I love them but have friends that hate on them.
If I could customize reeboks I would use the coral color from your first design. I might put something on the back that says “run fast” or “just smile”.
Libby says
Oh my gosh I would love to win this give a way! My shoes are ancient things that my Mum brought for me when I was 11 and I am now 23! It is embarrassing, not to mention they totally munch up my feet and hurt. I would love to design some blue and pink nanos!
Laura B says
Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize? – I love the Nano speeds!
What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design? turquoise and gray
If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say? no idea, haha. maybe nothing!
Jordyn says
If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say?
Its hard to choose, so much motivational sayings out there, some of my favourite are:
1. The pain you feel today is the strength you will feel tomorrow
2. Fear is a liar
3. Strong is the new sexy
4. Train like a beast, look like a beauty!
Shin Tu says
I’m currently a student at USC and would live to design a pair of reeboks in cardinal and gold! #fighton
Melissa C says
I always think that running/workout gear is the one place where you can get away with tons of would-be clashing neon, so I’d customize the nanos in bright neon colors!
Jenny says
I would do shades of red because it is my favorite color and think of it as such a happy one! I would add “Run like you love it” to the back because it is why I run–I love it. I have the same saying on my RoadID.
Ashley K says
I would love the new nanos!! And I would probably incorporate a little grey or black and pink. Something fun and cute!
catherine p says
I love bright colors and a great grip so i can run on paths and not slip. Im in the same boat as you julie as far as customizing with a name, i dont know what i would pick and so hours of brainstorming would be needed 🙂
Lisa says
I would incorporate a lot of bright colors in the shoe I design. Something that really makes me want to get out there and MOVE!!
Carrie C says
Nano’s would be my shoe of choice and I’d incorporate a tad of grey with likely some bright colors. I “think” I’d have them say 3-2-1 Go. 🙂
kayla says
i’m looking for a new pair of cross-training shoes that are good for weight-lifting and minimal running, but are still super cute!
McKinzie says
1. I would design a pair of the Nano speed
2. I would love neutral colors with one pop of color. So like black,grey, white, and then a pop of blue or red
3. I probably wouldn’t customize my shoes but if I did I would just put my name or initials
Danielle @ It's A Harleyyy Life says
I would pick the Reebok Nano Speed
Julie says
I would love the new nanos as well! How do you even begin to decide on colors?!
Grace says
I would love to have a new pair! I’d probably go for the Nano Speeds, with a fun, bright color scheme – probably pink and green!!
Kate says
I would love the nanos! Gosh the colors are so fun….white with a pop of pink!! So fun 🙂

I would customize them by saying, “just run with it”
Lacy says
I would choose pink and black!
Lori says
I would design pink and grey shoes!
Jori says
I would choose green and black!
Nicole says
I would try to customize the shoes with purple and yellow. I’m a fifth grade teacher and we take our Friday’s for Spirit day pretty seriously! I’d probably even personalize them with “Go Eagles” or something for our school!
Katie M says
I would choose the Nano Speeds. I love grey/purple combinations and I’d add a hint of bright orange or pink for some more pop. I would put the letter “Z”
Allie says
Long time reader (three years!) first time commenter!

I’d pick nanos! I’ve been dying to try them ever since I read your review and I need some good gym shoes (mine are YEARS old)! With my baby due soon, I can’t justify buying them for myself right now :-/
Sarah says
