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!!!
Tory says
I’d love the Nano 3.0s in lots of black! Also I love Dots too! Maybe it’s because I always forget they exist then when I see them am like “Must eat!”
Jacqui says
CrossFit Nano Speed in some variation of Purple and Teal!
Jamie @ Just Ripe Nutrition says
I totally pulled out a tooth with DOTS when I was younger…true story! I still love them to this day!
I really like the Nano 3.0. I would probably incorporate the color pink or purple somehow seeing as how those are two of my favorites!
michelle kim says
I’d definitely incorporate some purple into my shoes 🙂
Jen Y says
Ooh, I’d want Grey and Turquoise! I’d totally monogram with my last name.
Betty says

I would LOVE to win a pair of Reebok Nanos. I love running and have recently started crossfit ting as well. My running shoes are not quite up for that challenge!
Amparo S. says
I would customize the nano 3.0 but it will be hard to choose the colour combo… I love green, pink, blue, grey, purple…
Lauren says
I would love a new pair of Reebok shoes! I enjoyed playing around with the customization tools and would probably end up choosing a purple and yellow combination of the nano speed shoes if I were chosen. If I personalized them, I’d probably write something like “Keep” on one shoe and “Going” on the other for motivation!
Lauren says
I love all neon colors, so I would definitely incorporate some bright colors!
Christina says
What a great giveaway! I love the purple and gray but would probably go with red. I would personalize them to say “keep going” or “never stop.”
sue says

EMILY from IOWA says
I would choose the Women’s Rebok Crossfit and I would do the college colors that I currently work and coach for! They’d be awesome! Maroon & Gold with “Warrior Nation” personalization!
Erin says
I would definitely pick green! And the back would probably say EEF (my soon to be initials)!!
KC says
I would LOVE to customize a pair of nanos, I would have a hard time picking colors because I love them all but probably purple and yellow? & I’d put my name on the back!! 🙂
MK says
Definitely the Nanos – I need non-running sneakers so badly. And probably do them a billion times bc all the colors are so awesome!
Margaux says
I would definitely customize the Nano Speeds as well! Definitely in some sort of bright red/light gray combination, but I don’t know what I would want them to say. Is “Just Do It” awkward because it’s on a Reebok shoe?
lindsey sue says
i would love the crossfit speed nanos!!! i need a good multi purpose workout shoe!
HilJo says
Real flex! And probably a goldenrod yellow color or orange for at least parts of it! I like to show the dirt on my shoes haha. Not sure what I would write. Probably something I thought was funny.
Lori says
I would customize the Nano Speed. When I tried it out just now I was feeling the bright blue with some pink and black. 🙂
Kim says
I love wearing bright colors. My shoes would have to be pink and teal.
Kristin says
I love Dots too! And always get a weird look when I grab a box of Dots over a KitKat or something else. 🙂 I would love to design a pair of Nano’s and incorporate violet, bright blue and green. By having these colorful shoes it would make me feel fast as lightening during my workouts!!
Emily says
I’d customize a good walking shoe with some bright, but not tacky, colors.
Laura S. says
I would do the Women’s Ziglite Run, they look so fun! I think I would use the colors purple and coral but I would probably end up designing about 5 before I would be able to pick! I would put my last name on them in case I ever left them at a friend’s or something so they would know they are mine.. super lame! haha
Erin says
Definitely the Nano Speeds… but I have a feeling choosing the colors would give me some anxiety. Maybe orange and red?
Jen T says
I think I would customize of nanos, and use bright bold colors (maybe teal and orange?)
Kathryn says
I’d love either a blue or pink pair of shoes.
Ashley says
I would definitely put a lot of shades of pink in the shoes! Can’t wait to see what yours look like!
Cheryl says
I love all of your giveaways!! And your reviews are always super helpful! I would definitely choose the Nanos. I’m in such need of some non-running shoes for weight lifting. I love vibrant colors, so probably a bright blue with a muted gray so the blue pops more. 🙂
Brittany says
I would LOVE to design the Nano 2.0 shoes. I already played around with Pink Green and Blue. LOVED them 🙂

Stephanie Hansen says
I love the third shoe you designed! I’d probably choose purple and aqua too!

I would love the Realflex Strength, and I would use grey, yellow and accents of teal. To personalize it, I would put “one more” on the back, to remind myself (and anyone who might see it!) to keep going.
Amanda @Fitforgloryfoundbygrace says
I do like Dots–but they stick to your teeth! :p
I would customize any of them! I really loved the peach ish blue colors up top! And would probably put Phil 4:13 on the back!
Cassie J says
I would say “run wild” on the back.
Alison Porter says
I would personalize the Nanos! For sure would go with purple and teal!
I would want my shoes to say, Get it Girl! It would motivate me to get those results!
Cher Rezac says
I would love the nano’s! I think I would go with Pink for sure-I am a 12 year breast cancer survivor at the age of 33! I have 4 beautiful daughters so I would personalize with 4and me! I run 4me
Thanks Julie!
Grace says
Lime green and blue would be awesome!!
Jennifer says
I love the first pair you made – coral and blue! So cute. I would probably put something motivating on them like “eat more cookies” haha jk
Carrie says
I would customize the nanos or ZigLite Rush. Probably use some bright colors… lime, aqua, pink, purple? It would definitely be hard to choose! If I personalized them, I would just put my name.
Marcy says
I teach Bodypump and would have to incorporate the BP colours…red and black!
Julie says
I would do the nanos. You recommend them so highly! I would use light blues and bright greens probably. Nothing on the back (:
