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 think the nanos would be the best- I’ve heard such great things about them. I would LOVE a purple pair.. maybe with a touch of gray. I’m not sure if I could think of something clever to say, so probably wouldn’t put anything on the back.
I actually LOVE Dots. Not as much as Snickers, but they’re probably my favorite non-chocolate and they are so hard to find! Also, side note, my aunt is obsessed with Bit ‘O Honey, and they aren’t that bad either.
I totally am dying for a pair of nano’s.
I would personalize with Run on the Left side and Faster on the Right.
Or Never Quit. Or Work Harder. Imagine It. Or a weight goal on each shoe might be nice. or a PR goal for a race. you get the idea.
Definitely incorporate lots of green in my shoes!!!!
I would use the black/purple combo of colours
I would do grey and orange. My last two pairs have been purple.
I would customize the Nano Speed, since you think so highly of them and they would complement my running shoes well. I would love to make them majority turquoise with some dark purple and gray accents, and maybe put a motivational saying on the back!
I would definitely personalize the CrossFit Nano 3.0! love them
Hi Julie!
I would love a custom pair of the Nano’s!
I’m all about blue -a snazzy navy blue pair would be perfect!
I think I would put my nick name on the shoes: “Kare-Bare”
I would do some combo of black, blue and silver! I love new shoes!
I would put the word “Desi” on one side and “Girl” on the other! 🙂
I have no idea what colors I’d choose, but probably some combo of blue/yellow!
I would love a pair of nanos! Coral and yellow would be my choice for colors and I would personalize it with ALS.
ALS is short for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. My mom and so many others suffer from this debilitating disease and there is currently not a cure. I run for all of the individuals with ALS and their families.
Purple and grey would be cute! .
I’d probably put some totally cheesy words on my shoes like “inspire” or “strength” haha.
1. I would want to do the Reebok Nano Speed because I have heard such great things about them.
2. I would absolutely be putting purple on them since its my fav color and probably a bright blue to make it really pop!
3. My personalization would say “Killin’ IT!”
I would love green and grey cross training sneakers!!
Oh I love the idea of personalizing shoes, but once I’m done playing around on the website, I can never justify the price! I have a thing for gray & neon orange shoes, so that is what I’d incorporate in my running shoes 🙂
I’d probably customize the nanos and I’m unsure of colors– something with a pop of neon but also something I could wear everyday!
I don’t have any Rebok shoes, but I have heard such great things about the nanos that I would like to give them a try!
I would make mine gray and blue and I would get the nanos!
What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design?
I would choose a variety of bright colors so they would match anything I wear and then I’d put my fist name on one shoe and my last name on the other shoe!!
I would customize them in orange and blue because I am a GATOR!!! I’m living in TX now and I have to be as obnoxious as possible!
I would have to go with “flex scream”! and I would probably change the color combo a million times in my mind before I came up with one I realllllyy liked. Right now I think I’d go with some sort of teal combo.
I would make them either coral or mint!
I’ve been wanting to try a pair of Nanos. Love your coral and blue design!
I love a good light weight, flexible running shoe! Since I run mostly indoors, I like a crips white shoe with a pop of color, maybe green or purple, and I don’t know if I’m clever enough to come up with a worthy personalization… :/
I would probably make them orange and blue!
I would definitely incorporate bright colors! I love me some hot pink, aqua or purple!
I want a pair of cross training shoes, so I think the nanos would be perfect! I am not into really BRIGHT shoes so I’d probably go with blacks/greys/blues/purples 🙂 If I customized them I’d just use my initials since many people refer to me by them.
I have no idea what shoe I’d personalize. I’d have to look at the site more but I know I would need good ankle support! Bright colors are a favorite, especially for running shoes…maybe a yellow and blue combo? I’m like you and my personalizing would probably just be my name 😛 Such a neat giveaway!
I would love to design a pair of the Reebok Nanos! I’ve heard such great things about them from so many people!
I would customize a pair of the cross fit nano speeds! I would use the teal and neon pink for sure!
I think a Cross-Fit Nano 3.0 in mostly grey and blue would look pretty cool.
I would customize the ZigKicks! I would use bright colors, like blue and pink.
Ooh I love customizable shoes! I’d design the nanos in an overall magenta color with white and maybe a little bit of yellow. I’ve never personalized anything before but I think it’d be fun to put “Catch me…” on the left shoe and “…if you can” on the right!
P.S. I have always loved dots! I haven’t seen them anywhere in ages though.
I love a combo of pink, blue, and yellow!! I think that would look awesome.
The nanos for sure!! And of course some neon pink would have to be included 🙂
I love this idea!!! I would totally do a grey colour scheme with a pop of really bright pink!!
I would for sure choose the Nano speed, and I would customize it with a mint theme and my initials on the back!
I would customize a pair of the Nano’s. I’ve been looking for a good cross training shoe!
I like the Nana Speed shoes and I would make them completely hot pink with my name on them! 🙂
I love yours! I would definitely incorporate purple too 🙂
I would personalize them with the word “run” on the left shoe and “faster” on the right shoe! 🙂
I have custom Nano 2.0’s so would love a custom 3.0 pair!!! I’d orange, blue and yellow, with peachy palate on the back – peachy on one, palate on the other 🙂
Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize?
I would definitely do the Reebok Nano speeds 🙂 They are so lightweight!!
What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design?
I would have hot pink & white 🙂
If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say?
I would say my name: Alyx 🙂
I love dots and bit o honey (pretty much anything with an ounce of sugar) ! The pink, purple and green would be a fantastic combo on the nanos. I would personalize just with my name as well 😀 what a thoughtful gift from Ryan! You’re both very lucky 😀
Omg what an awesome giveaway! I would absolutely love to customize a pair of Reebox Nanos. I’d have to play with the colors a little and come up with a good combo but I might put my new initials on them since I just recently got married! Thanks!
I would definitely do the nano 3.0 or speed, after reading you and Gina (fitnessista) rave about the nanos. I would probably choose shades of blue, similar to the ones you have designed! Too many of my gym shoes have the same colors going on!
I think I would do hot pink and grey!! Love the combo of grey and a bright color! Thanks for the fun Halloween giveaway!!
