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!!!

I’m with you Julie, the Reebok Nano Speed is my favorite!!! I’m not super creative, unfortunately, so other than my name I don’t know how I’d personalize them, but I do know there would be LOTS of green! Green is my very favorite color and it always gets me amped up for whatever I’m doing, especially a 5AM workout!!
I would choose the Rebook Nano Speed, based on your trusted recommendation! I’d probably go for a dark blue with a fun bright accent colour.
i would customize a pair of nano speeds!
How fun! I am in need of a new pair of gym shoes! I would definitely have a pair of neon pink shoes with some grey or black. Most of my workout clothes gravitate towards those colors also. 🙂
Hi Julie,
Happy Anniversary :)! I would pick either the Nano 2.0 or the Nano Speed shoes. I would love to make them royal blue, black, white and grey. I coach college lacrosse and have recently renewed my love for weight training. It has made a huge difference in my energy, lifestyle and how I coach my team. I think these would be an awesome way to reward myself, but also continue to push myself to be better!

I’d customize the Crossfit Nano 2.0’s because I need a shoe that provides more support when I lift weights or take body pump! I love bright colors and would love to incorporate them into a new workout shoe 🙂
I would like the CrossFit Nano 3.0 in the colors of red and blue – and being a die-hard Red Sox fan and Bostonian, customize them with the phrase ‘Boston Strong’
I would choose the CrossFit Nano 3.0 incorporating blues, greens, and pink. I am all about the bright colors right now. I would probably have them just be my initials. That way everyone would know they were all mine.
I would customize the Nano speeds in navy blue, pink, and lime green. I would love to get them monogrammed to celebrate my upcoming wedding!
I would get the reebok speed nanos and I would incorporate coral and navy for a laidback shoe with a fun pop of color. I think I would put my initials on the back or see if they would let me put a monogram with a larger initial in the middle!
Love it when Reebok does a give away!!! I have been eyeing the DMXsky and ONE Cushion shoes for awhile, and WISH I could find a store that had them in stock so I could give them a test!! I would have to customize the DMXsky shoes; so many options with them! I would definately use lots of neon! Pink, Blue, Green neons always work for me!! And the personalization on the back… “Transformation Training” if it fits.
I would definitely make mine a bright coral color, maybe with some orange in there too. I, like most people, don’t often get to choose the color of my runners (just whatever is best for my running style) so I would LOVE the opportunity to completely customize them! As for a saying? I have no idea, I am so unoriginal…probably just my initials!
1) The Nano Speed is definitely for me!
2) I would love a good mix of bright neon pink and periwinkle, sprinkled with a little gray.
3) SMILE – because I smile a lot while I run. 🙂
Red & turquoise for the color combination (it’s my favorite!) and I would totally monogram them! It’s the southern girl in me, I suppose!
I’m not sure which pair would be best for my cross training/aerobics activities, but I played with the Crossfit Nano 3. I would use gray, candy pink, and sonic green! And P.S. I like Dots too!
I would customize the Freestyle!
I think I’d make mine pink or blue with gray!
I would choose the Crossfit Nano 2.0 and I would incorporate grays and pinks and I think I would put “melo” as the text.
I would do the Nano’s in bright colors! turquoise and yellow or pink would be neat!
Gorgeous bag (and what a sweet husband)! Happy 3 year anniversary!
I would get the CrossFit Nano Speed because I would love a cross-trainer that could also be used for running. Sometimes you want to do both in the same workout!
I would definitely use candy pink, blue blink, and neon yellow. I love bright shoes!
And I would probably say Candie, my blog name and nickname!
Ooh fun giveaway!! I would definitely have to play around with some purple and lime green 🙂 Something bright! I went with function over looks for my current pair of sneaks and they are just a basic dark gray…need to change it up!
I think I would customize shoes with navy blue and gray with maybe a pop of bright blue 🙂 I would give them as a gift to my mom, her favorite color is blue!
So cool!! I think I would choose the nano speeds and play around with green and blue color combos!
I love the purple/gray/blue combo you chose! I’d probably do something like that with a hint of pink!
Nanos – mostly because I’ve heard so many wonderful things about them. I’d have to go with some purples and neon greens. Love me some ’80s inspired colors!
The Nanos in pink and green, I think I would put my name on them also.
I would get the Reebox nanos, and make them in purple, silver, and white.
Awesome purse! Happy anniversary 🙂 I would definitely do the Nanos. I have a pair of the older ones that are about worn out, but they are still the comfiest shoes I’ve found! I would probably do gray and pink, with maybe a little baby blue. And I would do initials for personalization for sure! Too cute!
I would get the nanos and do something with purple peach or teal! I love these!
I would love to win this!!! I need some Reebok shoes!! I’ve been drooling over them since you’ve put the very first Nanos on your blog! I would want to use grey for sure as a neutral, then incorporate some fun colors like lime green, purple or bright blue!
So cool! I’ve been meaning to try out the Nanos, and I’d probably go with teal.
Nano Speeds! I would do green, black, grey and blue. I may or may not have already played around with designing them 😉
Happy Anniversary!
I would get the ZigLite Run or DMX Sky and I’d probably use grays and pinks!
Definitely would make mine blue!
I would love to make some neon nanos! Great giveaway!
Obsessed with this giveaway! I would do the crossfit nano speed, I love the navy blue and neon green combos, and I think I would opt out of the personalization on the back. Although it would be cute to say something catchy, I just don’t think I can pull it off! haha
I would love to get some like the coral/blue pair you designed. Super cute! A long time ago I had Nike’s with my name on the back, it was fun but I couldn’t think of anything more creative than just my name either.
I would get Nanos – probably with purple since its my favorite color!
I would choose the nano 3.0 bc I’ve heard great things about them! I’m loving blues and greys lately!!
I think I’d like to try the ZigTech Shark. Normally I’m more of a blues girl, but I’m really liking the “Neon Vitamin C”!
I was playing around on the YourReebok the other day! I love it 🙂
I would design the Nano 3.0 using a lot of neon colors (probably hot pink!) and maybe put some inspirational words on the back..like “Keep Going” !
I would also do the nano’s, and i would definitely incorporate bright green with maybe grey?! I think I would add my initials as well!
I would want my personalized shoes to say ‘KEEP ON RUNNING’, can you personalize each shoe? AWESOME
I think I would spend waaay too long deciding what colors to customize me shoes…but I think having my name on them would be pretty neat! 🙂
I love the nano and would have to incorporate either purple or pink for my daughter. Does “Livin the Dream” fit on the back?
Happy Anniversary!!! I would do the Nanos with lots of neon colors! Not sure what I’d put on the back yet. Maybe an inspirational word of some kind to keep me motivated! 🙂
I am a total pink girl and would get the brightest pink Nano possible 🙂
I’d definitely make mine a crazy combo of colors! Pink, purple, etc! LOVE your purse-so cute and timeless!
I think I’d pick the Nano 3.0s. I’d definitely have some orange and pink in my design. I think I’d skip the monogram though.
Mine would say “Double A” for my initials!
