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 would go with the nano speed… red and teal. I might personalize with something corny, but inspirational such as “Strength” or “Power”
I would customize the Nano Speed in blues and greys. And I would personalize them with the word HOPE (Hang On Pain Ends)
I would definitely customize them with blue and pink, I love fun workout gear!
I think it would be really fun to personalize the shoes. I think I would put, “Kill the hill!”
I have my teal sneaks and now I’m wanting a purple pair- so I’d go purple!
I would love to customize the nanos! I’d probably be really boring and stick with blacks and grays.
I’d love to design the crossfit nano speed! I just spent way too much time looking at colors and options – it may take me weeks to decide what colors I want!
I’d color them yellow, pink, and baby blue!
Love the Crossfit Nano 3.0! Most likely in pinks and grey colouring!
I would get the Cross Fit Nanos, featuring my favorite color yellow!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the crossfit nanos! I would make mine bright and happy – probably pink!
I would do the nanos with some variation of neon colors!
I would definitely customize a pair of the Nano Speed shoes! As far as colors go I would want to fix them up with a bright blue and yellow. I like how the yellow is a bold color for shoes and really stands out! If I were to personalize the back of the shoes I would put something motivational on the back of them such as Finish or Conquer. Something that will help motivate me when I’m working out.
I’d either get the Nano 3 or the lifters. It’s a toss up!
I would get the nano speeds. With pink, blue, and yellow! On the back they would day “SQUID” because my brother calls me Squid. 😛
I’d choose purple and grey!
The nanos! Probably pink and teal….or blue and orange…or teal and bright yellow…or…. I’d probably have trouble deciding!!
i would also customize the nanos! probably with as many shades of pink as they have . on the back it would say “i run this s#$*” my personal motto for kicking ass on my run
I would definitely use neon yellow and blue but I love the ones tot made!
I love Dots! The lady who lives in the apartment across from me put out a pumpkin with some treats in it for everyone and I grabbed a box of Dots, I was so excited to see them in there hahaha
This is SO fun! I really really hope I win. I think I would choose the cross fit nanos, and I would go with blue black and white!
I would love the Reebok Nano Speed in turquoise and grey. I don’t know what I would put on the back yet to personalize it.
I would do blue and yellow because the Red Sox won the world series last night and I am BOSTON STRONG!
I love the nano speeds, I would make mine yellow and red for Iowa State colors!! I dont think i would put anything on them as of now, but I might think of something clever!
I want to try the Nano’s after all the great reviews I’ve seen!
I would get the Crossfit Nano 3.0’s! I could use them for crossfit!
I would love to customize the Nano crosfit speeds! I have already been playing around with the site, what a great giveaway!!
I would customize the nanos for my sister. She is obsessed with cross fit and is currently going through some rough times, so this would be a perfect pick me up! I would make a combo of pink and purple, her favorite!
I would choose the Ziglight Run! It will probably take me days to figure out what colors I want if I win the giveaway, so there’s no way I could decide right now!
I would incorporate a color as close to burnt orange as possible!
Oh gosh, so many choices! I would probably go with the nano speed in some combination of blues and teals. As for personalization, I would probably leave it blank =)
I’d go with the Reebok Nano Speed with LOTS of bright colors. I’m loving the neon look and would try to incorporate as much neon as I could! And as boring as it sounds, I’d personalize my shoes with my initials. I do a lot of jazzercise, so if I ever left my shoes at the studio they’d be easy to claim! 🙂
I would personalize some nano 2.0s in pink and teal. Probably some gray too!
I would also customize the Reebok Nano Speed – I’ve been wanting a pair of zero-drop shoes. I have a hard time deciding on colors, so that would be the most difficult part of the decision!
I am in dire need of a new pair of running shoes!! I’m all about bright shoes, so I would definitely make them coral!
I love orange! My custom shoes would include orange.
crossfit nanos! i love basic colors so i’d probably stick to black and grays.
I’d love to customize the Crossfit Nano 2.0 or 3.0, I just love the idea of extra stability! I’d want them to be very colorful and bright, with yellows, purples, pinks and greens! If I were to personalize them, I’d probably put my 5 year old and 2 year old daughters’ names on them, since they are my biggest motivation for being healthy and active.
I would customize the nano’s and they would be different shades of blue!
I’d design the nano speed with lots of white and light pastel pink and would monogram the back “see ya”……..
I would get the Crossfit Nano 3.0s in a combo of bright colors and have them say “Rock it out!”.
I want a pair of Nano speeds!
I would love to customize different shades of pink!!
I would love to customize the Ziglight Runs! I’m not sure what colors, maybe Orange and Blue? Go Gators!
A pair of nanos with pink & black:)!
I’d like to try the nano speed. I customized a pair of zig’s a few years ago & got more compliments on those than any other shoe I own. They had pink, purple, blue, & green!
Something pink for sure. Not sure what to pick!
I would love the Cross Fit Nano Speeds in probably a blue, green and purple color theme.
I would also get the Nano Speeds –with some coral!!
I would write ‘One More’ or ‘Go Harder’ as little bits of inspiration!
