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!!!
Stella says
I’d customize the nano speed as well! I hear it’s great for lifting & HIIT, which is most of what I do. I’d use purple, blue & silver (my wedding colors!), and I think I’d put something like: Move! or Dance!
Holly says
I would love a pair of shoes that were some sort of gray with green!
Karen says
1. I’d customize the ziglite Run
2. Purple, green and yellow seem like the right fit!
3. No idea! I’d have to think about it for a while to try to come up with something clever!
Lisa says
I would love gray with green!
Sarah says
I would love a pair of pink and coral nanos! Happy Halloween!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I would use blues! LOVE blue shoes!
Claire @ cupcakesandasanas says
Love the Nano Speeds. I have been swooning over them for a while now and really need new shoes. I would totally go for something bright and wild. I love wild workout gear!
Melissa says
I would love the nanos!!! So many color options, can’t wait!!!
Lindsey says
What a great giveaway! I love anything you can customize. I’d pick the RealFlex Scream 2.0 with the neon pink, teal and green – the brighter the better! I’d keep the name simple as well and go with my nickname Linds.
Emily says
I’d pick the Nano Speeds!
Hannah says
I love the Nanos and am obsessed with neon pink shoes so I would have to make mine obnoxiously bright!
Cait says
Some sort of blue green yellow combo for colors and Just Run!
Chelsea says
I’m not sure which shoe I would choose, but I would definitely pick out some bright colors like pink and orange for them. My workout shoes right now are pretty boring because I had to get wide width so they are not very attractive :-/!
Brittney says
Definitely the Nanos! I’ve heard you rave about them so many times I would love to try them out!
Emily S says
I would go with nanos in a bright color, like neon green or pink! I don’t have any bright workout shoes!

I like the first color combo you created! Bright and cheery 🙂 I tend to go for the gray with pink & black accents…but it’s tough because there’s so many options 🙂
Meredith Schraeder says
Gray and light blue!
Jamie says
I would use hot pink and grey for the new nanos and I have no idea what i would write on mine! I’d leave it blank.
Sara says
I would go for the nanos in red & black (go Dawgs!). I played around with the site and my design looked pretty awesome!
Beverly says
I’m not a fan of those weird bottoms, so the RealFlex Strength are right up my alley!
Carly says
I would customize the Nano 3.0 because they look amazing and are so light! I would incorporate red and purple, and I think I’d be boring and just put my name on them.
Kayla says
Been hearing such great things about the Reebok Crossfit line…the colors all look great!
Beverly says
Forgot to add that I would use a combination of pink and purple and have BACK OFF printed on them. 🙂
Carly G says
I would include pink for sure! 🙂
Nicole kison says
I would do the Crossfit nanos with bright colored laces. Not sure what I would personalize them with.
Dana says
I would love the Nanos! Right now I have a pair of super bright pink runners, so I think I’d go for something a little bit more toned down – a mix of dark and light blue would be nice!
Also, LOVED your little tags on Ryan’s gifts 🙂
meg says
1. Nano crossfit
2. Hot pink, orange, and yellow.
3. I would want them to say, “Work it!”
Ang @ Nutty for Life says
I really really really want (not need – but that’d be nice!) a pair of fitness shoes that are black, grey and white. I love bright shoes, but sometimes I just want a plain color! What an awesome giveaway. Reebok is so generous!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
i’d totally make ’em say “Itz Linz” 🙂 🙂
Jacqui S says
I’m torn between the Nano Speed and the Crossfit Nano 3.0. They are both super cute and look great with a purple, grey, and bright green color combo 🙂
Quincy H says
I would get the nanos with some peach coloring! And perhaps put “see ya” or “catch me” on the back, if I was a bit faster 😉
Lisa says
I would make some pink and green shoes.
Kim F says
Seeing my sneakers have a hole in them this would be awesome! I think I want my next pair to be grey and yellow! Thanks for the opportunity!

I’d opt for the Nanos, and I love the neon combos in blue and green!
Jill S. says
Red all the way!!!!
Rachel says
I would definitely pick shades of blue and grey/white!
Nicole S. says
I love the Reebok nano! I’d probably pick a bright blue that pops and is encouraging!
Marjorie says
I would definitely have to put green pink and blue into my shoe color!
Melissa says
love the nanos. I’d personalize them with my last name because its unique and usually what I go by.
Emily says
I’d get the nano’s and use neon green and blue. I’d probably but “Beast Mode” on them!
Emily says
I don’t know what shoe I would get, but I would definitely use bright colors to match all my obnoxiously bright running shorts! I would put either my last name or perhaps the word “run” on the back.
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile says
Definitely the nano speed!
tara says
i would get the nano’s and most likely go with something neon. i may just put TJ on them…
Shelly says
I would go for the ZigTech Shark with the pink and yellow zebra print for the base and I would build with the following colours Buzz Blue, Aubergine and Dynamic Pink. I would put SAOR on the back, which means FREE in Irish.
I started following your blog since your visit to Ireland- you intrigued me with all your sightseeing …. I’m Irish and live in Ireland and love your blog!
