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!!!

Lindsey says
The crossfit lifters or nano speeds since I don’t have a pair yet. I’d probably go some combination of orange and black since that is our box’s color scheme and I’d want to represent at competitions. I don’t usually personalize but maybe this time I would
Jessie says
I think I’d actually go with a vibrant shade of pink. I don’t do pink often..so when I rarely do it feels kind of special :o)
Ashlee@hisnHers says
I think I would do neon nanos!! Im not very creative either…I’d have to think on that for awhile!
Alicia says
You’re awesome! I was just looking up Reebok Nanos because I think I’m going to snag a pair this weekend but winning them would be so awesome!! I’d definitely go with the Nano 3.0 obviously and I would love some with coral and teal in them. I’d probably go with something cheesy like my name on the back. Thanks!!
Erin says
I would write “Go Irish” on my shoe!
Marnay says
What a fun was to personalize shoes! I would love to design the ZigLite Run in a fun pink/yellow color combo. For the back of the shoes, I would love an inspirational quote to inspire me everytime I put them on. The first thing that comes to mind is Run – Fast
Irene says
Pink or blue or purple or green! ahh. too many options!
Heather says
I love purple and green together so I would probably do some combination of that!

I would totally customize the NANOS! So comfy for distance running! I would incorporate purple and yellow into the shoes to show support for the the university that I work at, and that my boyfriend coaches at! The personalization = “pounding” “pavement” one on each shoe! Thanks for sharing your awesome partnership with Reebok with us! (and YAY RYAN with the Tory Burch swag!)

Mallory Wolfe says
I’m a new personal trainer and we have to wear all black except our shoes, which can be anything we want! So I would choose hot pink and neon yellow Nanos with “6-2” (the month and day I got married)!
Anne Marie eifel says
I would definitely customize the nanos with greys and dark red or purple accents!
Brittany says
The Nanos 3.0 – I’ve had the 2.0’s for awhile now so I’d love to upgrade to a custom design!

I would use BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT colors. Colorful shoes make me feel like I’m going fast even if I’m not:)

I would customize Nano 3.0’s! I’ve actually already designed a pair that are coral/red/lime green/white–I’m just waiting until I can talk myself into spending that much money on shoes 🙂
Brianne says
I love their nanos!! And I would go with hot pink, black and silver I’ve those colors!!!
Mandy says
Wow, you both had such nice thoughtful gifts for each other!
I would loooovvvvee to customize some of the nano speeds with purple, blue, and grey and of course monogrammed! How awesome would that be?!
De says
I’m obsessed with getting the Nano’s for Crossfit, but won’t drop the cash. I’d go with some version of turquoise/blue and black because that is the majority of my workout clothes. As for the personalization, I don’t think I’d do it, just not my thing.
Divya @ Eat. Teach. Blog. says
I’d want it to say “I Can” on the back 🙂
