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!!!

1. I would customize the “Reebok CrossFit Lifters” to get an edge on my olympic lifts
2. Love the charged green! and some purple too
3. I’d have them say “KEL DOGG” my alter beast-mode ego… got to have fun with it!
Thanks for the giveaway!
ATV19’s! I would try to use as many colors as I could while still looking good haha. I’m not sure what I would put on the back…nothing feels right! I feel like im deciding on a tattoo here lol
I would customize the Nano Speeds in grey and pink!!! If I were to customize the backs I would put ‘Little Bug’ on them in honor of my sister’s ever prevailing nickname for me 🙂 By the way, that bag from Ryan is gorgeous! Your gift to him was awesome too, very heartfelt!
I’d go with the nano speeds. I love all things pink and would probably go with a hot pink and silver or bright blue. I had custom Nikes with my name on the back in high school but I think for these I’d go with something like CHASE ME or CATCH ME to motivate me to run faster!
ooo fun!! i just started TRX classes and would love a new bright pair–with my name for sure 🙂
I’m dying to try those Nano’s too. I’d do pink & gray
I would get the Nanos in pink and blue 🙂
I just fell in love with the ZigLite Run pair that I created. I’m always looking for a fun pair of running shoes. Cute running shoes always seem to motivate me to get out and run more. I chose the aubergine purple color along with the dark gray and black soles, bright green accents, and some pink laces! I think I would personalize them with the saying “Run Hard”. Maybe it would help motivate those people that I’m running in front of!
I would love to customize the nano speeds! I would definitely incorporate neon yellow and dark blue and would write something inspriational to get me through the workout!
I’d have to customize with mint and grey. Or pink and grey/black. I mean really, can you ever have too many pairs of pink gym shoes? 🙂
I would go for a purple pair with maybe some dark gray. Hopefully they would motivate me to start working out again!
I would def go with the Nanos! I love my asics for cardio, but I cannot find a good pair for cross-training. I actually started my fitness journey Oct. 22nd 2012 so its been a year since I’ve revamped my workout wardrobe. I would love a bright green, bright blue and bright orange together. Hey you got to stand out somehow, especially because i typically wear a black capri and top so I look like a Ninja. At least I will be a ninja with awesome shoes!
I love reading your posts about Reebok…their workout attire and shoes are my favorite! I would love to customize a pair of the Nanos Speeds. I would definitely use a coral color…not sure what I would put on the back, but I’ll come up with something motivational!
Mint and coral! I’d make them as obnoxious as possible 🙂
Oooohhh what a fun giveaway! I would want my shoes to say MOVE. Move because I want to always keep moving and for people to know they need to MOVE out of my way! Lol!!
That website is so cool! I’d probably go with some combination of ultraviolet and neon yellow, with a splash of candy pink!
I’d personalize the Nano Speed shoes as well! I’d use red, neon orange, and gray as the colors…. and really can’t think of anything clever to write on the back of the shoe either! Haha 🙂
I would definitely customize the Nano 3.0 in ultra violet and gray! As for the personalization, I would probably put my last name 🙂
You have been speaking so highly of the nanos that I definitely want to give them a try! Blue and purple are my absolute favorite colors so I would customize them with those colors for sure! I’m pretty sure I couldn’t come up with anything more creative than my name either! Haha!
I don’t know what shoe I would pick, but I would probably go pink/black because that’s how I roll.
Also, my husband loves DOTS once a year at Halloween so we always get the candy bag that has them – plus, I get my once a year tootsie roll pops. It works well.
ive heard such great things about the nanos, id definitely like to try them out!
I’d get the Realflex Strength–I used to be really into running before injuries sidelined me, so hopefully the stability of this shoe will help me get back into it!
Gahhh I love those shoes. I love grey and blue together, and would probably throw some yellow in there too.
I love the nanos, and I would get the brightest color combination they have!
I’d get the crossfit nano speed with neon cherry!
I’ve wanted a pair of nanos 2.0 for awhile and would love to design some bright shoes with blue and orange – my two favorite colors! 🙂
I’m all about those neon colors… Especially yellow!
I would choose a crossfit version. And of course in bright colors!
Definitely grey and either a coral or blue! I love the first picture of the pair you designed!
I would love the nanos in a pretty purple!
I would love to design a pair of nanos 2.0 in yellow or gray or coral. Agh, too many colors to choose from!!
Nano 2 with pink and grey for sure! And I would personalize with “keep going”
I would personalize with Dig Hard and I would definitely have some pink in them!
Happy Halloween!
I would love the nano speed and incorporate teal and pink together. I would probably personalize them with my lucky number 24 😀 Love your blog!
I would make a pair of electric lime and purple nanos!
i would love to customize the nanos in green 🙂
I definitely need a new pair of shoes for crossfit so I would customize the Nano Speed. I love how sleek they look! I always feel so much better when working out in bright, fun colors so I would go with neons all the way!
I neeeed some Nanos for my boot camp class! I would LOVE some personalized ones in neon colors!!
I’ve designed my own workout sneaks before, and it’s so fun! I’d love to deck out some nano speeds in bright funky colors like lime green and fuchsia 🙂
I would get purple and neon green. I love the idea of designing my own sneakers!
RealFlex Scream 2.0!!
My shoes would definitely be yellow, it’s my favorite color!
I would choose purple with hints of yellow and a crown on the back of one shoe and “Cqueen”, my nickname, on the other 🙂
I love Nanos! Mine would say “see ya!” on them ;)!
I would go for the Crossfit Nano 3.0 in Ultra Violet and Sonic Green. I would probably personalize saying “MKRD”…
I love the nanos! I need a pair of black shoes to go with all my workout outfits!
I would definitely work some black and bright blue into my sneaks – my favorites!
I would totally pick Dots! They are one of my favorites! Not so great for my teeth – but a great treat!
Oh all the possibilities! I would have to choose either the RealFlex or the Nano Speed. For the color combo…the brighter, the better : )
I would choose the nano 3.0, pink and grey, and have it personalized with MNY
