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!!!
Reebok olys!
I’d definitely go with the Nano 3.0s! I wanted them when they first came out, but they were so new that your couldn’t customize your colors! Now, they’d be perfect! I’d easily spend an hour making sure I had the perfect color combination 🙂
I would definitely make mine bright turquoise and put ‘just breath’ on the backs 🙂
I would love to try out a pair of Reebok shoes! I would definitely use some different shades of blue. 🙂
I would love to try a pair of Nano speeds! Not to mention, bright colors in running shoes are my fav! I’d go with the neon green or hot pink…and out 26.2 on the back
I would go the blue and green route! I can’t steer away from those colors
Oooooh those shoes are adorable! I would definitely customize mine with lots of neon! The brighter the better! 🙂
“Fit to a T” – because they call me T. Ombre style!
I would customize mine to say “GO”
I would customize the Nano speed and would put one of my favorite quotes, “Keep swimming Nemo”, (if it would fit).
I would definitely customize with my name!!!
So exciting! I have never had a pair of reebox. I would design a blue, black and get pair with a hint of purple and put the word “magis” on the back. 🙂
I’d do the ATV19…I love bright colors, so anything bright would be awesome! Not sure on the personalization….maybe just my name
I would choose the crossfit nano’s or one of the zigs. I own a pair of zigs and love them. I work at an afterschool program and on my feet all the time. These shoes rock! The kids would help me choose the colors (within reason-lol) and name them. They would get a kick out of this- no pun intended!
I love the gray color!
I would definitely include a lot of bright colors! I am a Health and PE teacher at a middle school and my kids love it when I wear anything with bold bright colors on it (and I love it too!).
I would definitely pick a bright purple or pink and add my initials to the back.
I think I might go with a deep purple or else some combination of pinks is always a favorite.
I would put “Run Strong” on the back of them!! 🙂
Love this idea! I would definitely pick a pink and green combination for my colors
I would combine pink,purple and teal for my daughters colors ( I run to be healthy for all 3)
One side would say CIA mommy and the other runs
Maybe nano?
My 2 favorite colors are black and red and I would want my shoes to say “hard core” 🙂
I’d get black with splashes of neon colors and personalize them with …You can-I will or get up – and move.
I’d love to add my name to the shoes, and add any combination that includes pink!
I’d have to go with the green and blue and probably just put the word “run” on the back to motivate me to get out and run! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
My vision in life is to raise my daughters with strength, both inside and out. I would customize them to say, “I’m a mom.” Eluding the focus of my vision. An added plus would they would be safe from my15 year old daughter “borrowing” them. 🙂
I would choose the Nanos and make them pink with gray and bright green accents. They would say “choose” on the back to remind me that every day we make choices that eventually lead is to the quality of life we live!
How cool would it be to personalize a pair of shoes with your name or initials?!! I think I would do that with some bright colors added to the mix!
I would want purple and orange running shoes. The heel would say get going!
I would do the Nano Speeds. They would definitely have some orange and maybe say “Go Pokes”
I’ve never had a pair a reeboks! It would be awesome to win them!

Hi Julie! I am in need of some new running shoes, so I’m excited for this giveaway! I would definitely incorporate pink into my shoes…who doesn’t love pink?! 🙂
I’d love to design my own shoes!! I have wanted bright yellow ones but have never found a pair that fits well.
I love the style of the Nanos and would pick purple colors, my favorite 🙂
I would customize the “realflex speed 2.0”. I would incorporate bright neon colors I’m because I like when the shoes are noticed and it motivates me to work out also! So fun! I would also put my name on the back “Arielle” because nothing ever comes personalized in my name unless I order it!!
*bReAtHe* 🙂 Julie, you’re a rockstar & I love following you!
I would incorporate navy and pink because they are my wedding colors. I got married this past May and I need some new work out shoes to get me motivated to work out again!
I would choose purple and pink and on the back it would say “No Excuses”
I’ve been lusting after the purple Nano 3.0’s, and I’d LOVE to make some that are even more purple 🙂 so much fun!
I need these like you wouldn’t believe! I’ve been running in the same pair for 2 years! To win these would be a dream come true for my knees. Love this giveaway idea!
I would love to try a pair of reeboks. I think I would go with blue/black combination!!!
I’m not a purple personk, but I love that shade of purple, so I’d design them with purple!
I would customize the CRossFit Nana 3.0. I would use the colors Pink, Blue and Orange. I think that shoes would say that I’m a bright, energetic, happy runner that loves to push beyond my limits! What a neat concept to design your own shoes!!
I’d customize mine to say “Don’t Stop” with some red, white, and blue in the mix!
Love the personalized options here! I’d love to see the color combo of gray & turquoise!!
I’d get a pair of the Oly Lifters. I’ve been debating getting a pair for ages! I’d incorporate the vitamin c color for sure!
Definitely the Nano Speed. My favorite/signature color is purple so they would have to be purple…I think I would put BAD on the left shoe and ASS on the back of the right 😉 lol love your Blog Julie! I so want to start my own!
I would include teal since that’s my favorite color!
I am not sure which ones I would choose but something that be good for classes like Tabata.
I would pick the Reebok nanos and probably pick blue & purple! I would also make them say “keep going!” to remind me to push during tough workouts. 🙂
