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!!!

Those are so cute! I love orange running shoes, for some reason. So probably orange and grey!
I would use black and pink for sure 🙂
Wow! I am in desperate need of new shoes! I’d definitely try the Nanos hearing such great things. My current shoes are so clunky so i’d like something nice and light. Probably in purple or maybe green and grey. I’d want something hardcore on them, but I don’t know I’m creative enough to think of something clever.
I adore the grey base with some hot pink accents! 🙂 Thanks, Julie!!
Oh this is exciting. I already have my shoes designed on reeboks website.
1. I would go with the crossfit nano 3.0’s.
2. I would make them got pink, black and a little teal for a pop of color.
3. I think I would put beast on the back.
Thanks for the giveaway Julie. Also, Dots are pretty much a Halloween staple!
My current Reebok Nano’s are getting pretty worn down, so I would love to customize their new Nano 3.0’s!
I want to incorporate blue and pink colors! I want a motivational thoughts on the back of my shoes!
I’d love a new pair of purple and grey sneakers!
Probably the nanos with bright colors like yellow and green or maybe purple since it is my school color! I would put something that would keep me going, probably something like “keep up” or “keep going
1. Probably the Zig Tech Shark- I need support for TurboKick and HIIT’s training.
2. Blue, Pink and Black
3. Not sure. Maybe something like “Focused” or “Kickin’ Ass” or my nickname “Jordy”
I LOVE the CrossFit 3.0 and 2.0 but am concerned about the level of cushioning and support that I would need. Are these shoes strictly designed for the weight room over cardio?
I would want bright pink ones that say I’m on Fire!:)
Hi, Julie!
I LOVE the Reebok Nano Speed, too, so that would be my shoe of choice! 🙂 I love bright shoes, so I would probably pick some combination of neon yellow, pink, and green. I would love to put something inspirational on the back of my shoes that represents my faith, so maybe “Acknowledge Him” (from Proverbs 3:6) or “Persevere” (from Hebrews 12:1).
I would love to customize the Nanos with teal and gray with a splash of pink or orange! They would say “don’t quit” on the back!!!
I would incorporate pink, teal and grey!
After reading of your love for them, I would gets a pair of Nana Speeds 🙂 Also, I can’t seem to get enough of coral so that would probably work its way into my shoes!
I would definitely go with the Reebok Nano Speed shoes as well. For the color: I would include red and green. Because I heard red is a competitor color and makes you run faster and well… Green is the color of hope which can never be wrong 🙂 I guess I would write something like “fun run” 🙂
(I’m not sure if your giveaway is international – if it’s not, sorry to confuse the randomness :D)
Cross fit nano 3.0
Pinks and orange!
My name
Thank you!!!!!!
I would incorporate turquoise, pink, green and black. Love the bright colors!!
I love pink and I would definitely incorporate that into my shoe!
I would either customize the Crossfit Nano Speed or the Realflex Scream 2.0 with some wild and bright colors.
I would love to customize a pair of shoes! I would go with purple for sure! Thanks for the giveaway!
1. Probably ATV19
2. Definitely purple and white. Maybe yellow too??
3. “Train Harder”
I would customize the Crossfit Nano 3.0 shoes. I would want to incorporate Neon Cherry and Neon Orange, and while it is hard to personalize with only 7 characters, I think I would put “move it” as inspiration to keep moving no matter how small or large my workout is on a given day!
I would like them to say my initials!
I would customize a pair of realfelx scream 2.0!!!
I would customize the nano speed!
If I won the new pair of shoes I would make them Purple! For Lupus Awareness! Just did a walk and I didn’t have a pair to match my Purple Outfit!
You could have put “PB” on one shoe and “Fingers” on the other!!! 🙂 I would probably have some sort of gray/pink combination since those two colors look adorable together!
crossfit nano sz 6, pink and black , blessed!
nanos in grey/purple/pink
Pink is always a favorite, but I’m into grey too these days.
Wowww I love the idea of being able to design my own sneakers. I would definitely pick the crossfit nano 3.0. I am loving the ultra violet and neon yellow for color choices. Figuring out how to personalize my sneaker might be a challenge for this slightly uncreative girl… but maybe something will come to me if I win 🙂
I would love a pair of teal and gold sneakers!
Probably the nano speeds-i need some new running sneakers! i’d do teal and purple 🙂
I’d like to do black amd coral I think!
Reebok cross fit
They would be a solid color neon purple Or
Teal
They would have the letter E in neon yellow for empowerment with a crown design on top of the E.
I would choose purple and yellow for the shoe colors, bra cause it’s my children’s favorite colors. I would also have “carry on” written on them. This would remind me and inspire to get out there and keep moving.
I would make a pair in shades of pink!
Crossfit nano speed and I would make them pink and lime green.
Fantastic! I would probably choose colors similar to yours! 🙂 Thanks, Julie!
How fun! I would love hot pink & turquoise Reeboks!!
I would do hot pink, gray, and turquoise!!
I would just write CHECK on the back.
So awesome you are doing this! Love the blog!
How neat that you can design your own shoe!! I think I would go for bright colors on the Nanos.
Hi Julie 🙂 First of all, I am a PBF ADDICT and am always so inspired by your posts.
1. I would also choose the Reebok Nano Speed to customize (just another thing we agree on 😉
2. I would definitely have a turquoise and maybe grey for colors.
3. I am obsessed with monograms so I would have to opt for my initials on the back
Hope I win,
Your devoted PBF lover, Gretchen 🙂
Pink is my favorite color, so it’d be hard to not make mine pink! But it’d be fun to try out different color combos!
I would love a pair of the Nano Speeds! There would definitely be pink and gray.
I would definitely choose the Reebok Nano Speed’s as I am currently planning on beginning to train for my first half marathon! The colors that I would choose to incorporate are definitely the Candy Pink, Blue Move, Blue Blink, and Sonic Green! I love these shoes!
Pink!! I would would love to design my own shoe. I love the shoes you designed, but I would probably go with some shade of pink. 🙂
Nano, hot pink and my initials?
What a great shoe!!!!
I would love to customize the nano!
