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!!!

Bright pink & orange for my colors–and prob something like “exercise is my drug of choice” !
I would choose the nanos, have heard great things about them!
I would personalize the Nanos in blue and red. I would put “Ironann” on the back of them! 🙂 That would be awesome.
Woah this is definitely one of the coolest giveaways you have ever done, Julie!
Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize: Crossfit Nano Speed
What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design: Baby Blue and Yellow!
If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say: Just Keep Running 🙂
I’d go for customizing the Nano-I’ve been doing more cross training workouts and these would be awesome! I Iike a purple/coral color combo, something unique that’s usually not available in stores. As for the personalization on the back-other than my name I’d need suggestions!
PS-I LOVE dots! Should have gotten some this year for trick or treaters so I could “sample” a few!
I would definitely have pink and blue in my design 🙂
Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize? Cross fit Nano
What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design? Purple and pink
If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say? MAC
That’s a cute gift idea writing out all those cards!
As for the shoes I’d do nano 3.0s
Not sure on all the colors but definitely a bright yellow or orange in there.
I’m terrible with coming up with something cool to write on them though.
Happy Halloween! I would customize Reeboks with a bright combination of purple and green because it’s just fun and unusual–where would one find purple and green shoes unless it was custom?! Maybe a message like, Catch Me, would be fun and motivational! 🙂
Happy Halloween! I just had so much fun designing my own pair! What a great idea! I made a pair of crossfit nano 2.0 in the colors pink, yellow and bright blue! So cute!! I’d have to think of a fun saying for the back!
I would have a pink/orange/yellow color combo with my track team’s motto for me “Run like the Wendy” in the side 🙂
I would personalize the ZigKick shoe with the Squiggle Black Steel Pink color. I would personalize my shoes to say “Strong”.
I would definitely get a pair of Nanos. I feel like should be wearing training shoes for my bootcamp class for some more stability, but am still using my regular running shoes.
I would also do the nano speed! Light and fast! Would have some yellows and pinks in there or teals and navy. Maybe I’d have them say my name. Or “runs for peanut butter”!
I would go with one of the nanos too! I have heard great things about both the 3.0 and speed. Perfect for training in the gym. Mine would have to include blue or coral somewhere on them.
Happy anniversary!
I’d go with the Crossfit Nanos w/ green and lime green. I think I’d write something like Run Free.
I would also do a nano speed.. I think I would like to go with a soft grey into a nice Tiffany’s teal color. On the back I’d put something like “seriously go run” to give myself that little extra motivation!
Oh man so many options! I love my Crossfit Nano 3.0s but don’t need another pair so…I think I would do the ATV19s since I need trail runners for my upcoming Spartan Race (eek!). I would make them black (so the mud wouldn’t show as much) with red accents and they would say “work hard” 🙂
I’ll always incorporate a little hot pink!! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’m loving that red/blue combo you created!
I would probably also do Nano Speeds and incorporate some sea foam green, grey, and maybe yellow… not sure though, I too could spend hours on the customization making endless combinations! As for personalization, I don’t think I would get any. I’m a pretty plain Jane. 🙂
AhhH! I’ve been dying to customize some oly lifting shoes. I would make them a combo of fun bright colors. I think I would put my last name as the personalization on the back. Thanks so much for this giveaway and happy anni!
I would use purple too. Its my favorite color. I love that you can customize them!
I’d customize the Nano in dark and lighter shades of blue. I’d personalize it with something ironic like built for speed 😉 or a nick name.
I would probably choose blue or hot pink as my color choice.
Wow! Awesome purse!!! Congrats! As for the shoes… All different pinks and maybe a little black. I have 4 boys and 1 girl ( the baby) so I always get excited about anything pink! Probably something witty about loving my family/ husband… They are my inspiration! Running my first Full Marathon this weekend too…. <3
I love your gift & I’m sure Ryan does too! I did something similar to that for my boyfriend before his test last year!
I love the shoes you designed! I would probably spend tons of time changing the colors a million times before settling on anything! I would love the chance to win!!!
Nano speeds! I’d do blues and yellows for my half marathon outfit.
I honestly don’t know which ones I would pick. There are so many to choose from!
I would get blue or purple with yellow and have it say my first name on the back
Blue and lime green.
I would LOVE the DMX Sky in Gravel, Black, and teal with pink and geranium pods!
Love the anniversary gift!
In my last race, I saw a shirt with the word “onward” printed on the back. It totally motivated me the rest if the race. I would get that on the shoes!
I would love to make a bright pair with a fun saying like “run like hell!” On the back
Pink and black to match my new workout top! Yes, I like matchy matchy lol
I’d customize a pair of Nanos and I think I’d pick bright, neon colors. I don’t have anything like that, so I think I’d be fun to play with colors a bit.
Find your strong
I would definitely choose the Nano Speed as well. I love the slim, non bulky design that still offers support! I would probably go with a red, black, and grey color combination because those seem to match or coordinate with most other colors. For personalization, I would choose “Hebrews 12:1-2.” It says, “And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfected of our faith.” Perfect motivation for workouts and for life.
I’d definitely go for the Nano Speed – would love navy and lime green! maybe my nickname on the back, or a lucky number.
I would definitely customize them in some green/blue combination! Great contest! 🙂
OO I would definitely try out the Nano Speed and decorate them in some fun colors, maybe some green and pink, black, navy combo of some sort…indecisive right now. I would have to come up with something good to put on the back of them!
I would like to try the Nanos. I love crazy colors combos so probably I would make them purple, green, blue and pink!
I’d definitely have to include purple!
The Nanos Speed look great. I’ve been loving bright colors lately and love purple/hot pink/bright yellow, or purple/navy blue/turquoise.
I think I would include blue, purple, and possibly black.
My husbands favorite candy is Dots, so you are not alone! If i were to win, I would have to get a pair of purple and gold, it never gets old!
I would want the shoes to say “I can”
I would probably go with a purple/black combo!
I would do the cross fit nano 3.0 because I need a good functional training shoe instead of wearing running shoes for cross training. I would do light red and maybe some blue too.
i would design my shoes mostly black with some pops of purple, i think!
