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 love to customize the Crossfit Nanos!
I would do the Crossfit Nano’s, coral/black and would put “to laugh” on the back!
I would personalize the RealFlex Scream 2.0’s! I’m on the fence about cotton candy-like colors (pink, turquoise, bright yellow) and a simple scarlet red, steel & bright yellow colors. The customization would include probably a simple “A” for my name or the word “RUN”!
This is such an awesome idea, Julie, thank you!
I would love the Nano’s in bright colors – maybe lime green, teal, or bright yellow!
I would LOVE to have some outrageously bright sneakers with my name on them…of course PINK would be included 🙂
I would design ones with purple incorporated (EMAW!) and put something like “Eat Clean, Train Dirty” or “Sweat is fat crying” 🙂 These got me through highschool XC!
All about the PINK!!
I would love to design a pair with a purple base color and pops of green! I think those colors would really give them a pop of playful color!
I think I’d write “Hello” on them… because really, who’d be looking all the way down there? 🙂
I would love to customize a pair of the nano’s! I would probably incorporate a Teale/black color combo with maybe a hint of hot pink! I would put “crazy legs” on the back because that was my nick name in soccer when I was growing up! 🙂
I would absolutely LOVE these! I would choose the Reebok Nano Speed (as you did!) & i would customize them to be crimson & red! My shoes would say ROLL TIDE because I am an alumn & swam for the University of Alabama 🙂
I would definitely customize the nanos!! i love blue’s and purples with a pop of bright color, maybe coral or yellow. and if i personalized them i’d probably put my name or monogram them!
I would customize the ZigLite Run shoes!
I would use the neon vitamin C color and a dark purple.
I would have my name on them 🙂
I’d customize the Nano’s. Probably in red or blue or white, the colors of the World Series champion Red Sox!!!!!!! And maybe personalize them with a “Just Breathe” or “Never Give Up.”
I would get the nano speed… I already have the nano, and I love it…. I would do grey and pink, and prob nothing on the back… I really don’t like personalization on clothes, shoes, purses….
Since I love my workout shoes to be bright! I would personalize the Crossfit Nano Speeds in Sonic Green/Blue Move/Flat Grey. It would be hard to personalize since there is limited characters so I would probably just do my name! 🙂
That looks so fun! I would definitely put some sort of running quote of the back of mine.
oops I put the wrong email address in my first comment!
I would personalize my shoes to say “Send Me” on the backs. I saw this as a tattoo and think it is really cool!
I would use grey, green and aqua.
I love bright colored shoes so I would make mine orange and pink!
I would love to have pink sneakers! My favorite color!
I would incorporate pink and purple!
I’d make them pink and turquoise!
I’d do bright colors. Maybe neon green, bright blue, or orange. It’d be fun to design them!
I would love to customize a new pair of Reeboks in shades of purple and personalize them with “new mom”.
Just the motivation I’ll use to get running again January!
I love bright sneakers, so maybe bright blue, neon green, and purple!
I would love a pair in pink or purple!!
These would be so fun to design! I would love to have pink and light blue!
I’d customize the Nano Speed too. I don’t have any Reebok shoes, but I’ve been wanting to try them. Blue is my favorite color, so it would def. be incorporated into my color scheme. I’d probably want them to say “Start Slow, Finish Strong.” It’s my mantra when I run and I have it on my RoadID bracelet.
I would want mine to say Bad… Arse. Or something funny too like “Left… Right.”
Cute!
I am LOVING the purple and pink. The neons are so cute and fun!
I would choose bright pink and lime green – there’s something about that color combination that I’m lovin lately!
I would love a pair in pink or purple or…blue! haha 🙂
I’d probable do black shoes with streaks of bright neon colors!
I would put “fear is a liar” if it would fit. That was my saying when I started running about two years ago, I was so afraid I’d never get better….I was wrong! I love running, it’s a big part of my life and who I am now!
I would use purples and blues since those are my favorite colors. That or grey, bright blue, and bright green. 🙂
Not only is purple my favorite color but it’s one of my school colors as well so I would definitely have to incorporate that 🙂
I’m as preppy as preppy can be, so I think I’d customize my shoes with my initials – BKK. And I’d definitely have to color them in orange and blue to show my Gator pride as a University of Florida student! 🙂
I would incorporate bright colors in my own design and probably put my initials on the back of the shoe to personalize them 🙂
I would for sure make some pink ones with baby blue and white 🙂
1. Nano speeds! I love my Nano 2.0’s but have been coveting a pair of Speeds since they came out!
2. PINK (and maybe yellow)
3. Progress (my favorite quote is progress not perfection)
If I got to design my own I think I might check out the nano speed! I would probably incorporate every color because I love being loud and bright while working out! Makes it more fun! 🙂 I don’t have a nickname really so I probably wouldn’t personalize. Lol
I would definitely incorporate some bright colors!
I would love the Nano speeds! I would design them with TONS of bright colors – I love neon!
I need new shoes! My current workout pair is held together by superglue. :-/ I would pick the most obnoxious colors I can put together to try and offset the monotony that is my all-black workout wardrobe.
Tech zag with modern blue body with charged green sole and sock liner and of course my name on the heel. I love it!
I think I’d do purple with an electric blue… or something to compliment how pale my legs get in winter in Boston 🙂
This is awesome!! I would choose the cross fit nano 3.0!!
I would definitely pick pink and blue reebok shoes. I would have them say “Perservere” and ” Never Give Up” I would have my shoes say these things so every time I wear them people can be motivated. I am about to take my personal training test for ACE and I want to inspire people to never give up on their goals 🙂
