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 design the most obnoxiously bright pair possible!
I love the Nanos! I’m a pink kind of gal, so I would choose pink for the shoes, along with blue and white.
I would do the nano’s. My favorite color is purple so I would use that with a combination of other bright colors. I love bright colors for workout gear because it always gets me motivated! I’d try to come up with a motivational quote or something on the back of my shoes
I like the ZigLite Run. The aubergine color is pretty. As far as what to put on the back, I could go silly with “speed” and “demon,” or inspirational with some combination of the words breathe, stretch, or run.
I could go for pair of nanos that I’ve been wanting to try in my crossfit classes! I’d probably combine some hot and cool colors for a nice blend, plus some motivating words for the back like “Go for it!”
Oh my gosh I’ve been having so much fun playing with the design. I would design the Nano Speeds using pink and sonic green, primarily. I would personalize them with something motivational so every time I lace up I have something to gear me up mentally. I love that Reebok is doing these custom designs!
So fun! I’d customize them with a gray fade and the word “solemates” on the back. Gets me smiling every time I lace up for a workout!
I think some bright colored nanos would be awesome.
I would customize the nano’s for my boyfriend and make them his favorite colors – gray and orange – and then add his nickname on the back!
I would LOVE the nanos with bright blue and gray!
I love your new purse! What a great gift.
I would design the Nanos in yellow, grey and purple…my 3 favorite colors.
Mine would be bright! Yellow, pink & blue!
I’d pick the Nano Speed shoes also, and since my favorite colors tend to be purples, greens, and blues, I have a feeling they would follow that trend.
Cute purse, you are one lucky lady!!
How fun would it be to have a pair of ZigLite Runs in pink and orange! They would have to say A² for my 2 kids with A names.
I would do a combination of bright colors (pink, yellow, turquoise, etc)!
I started at a Crossfit gym last month and my research is showing that the Reebok Nano 2.0s or Speed are good for Crossfit. I would design them in Yellow and Blue. I’m not very creative so I probably wouldn’t put any words on them either. Thanks for the giveaway.
Aw, your anniversary gift to Ryan is so nice, thoughtful, and creative – I’m sure it means so much to him! And that purse is beautiful – good job, Ryan! You guys are such a cute and inspirational couple. I think I would customize the Nano 3.0, and I came up with a blue, violet and gray design that I like. Thanks for the giveaway, and happy belated anniversary!
I would go for the Nano’s. I’ve heard great things and I was looking at a pair the other day! I want to say since my running shoes have pink in them I would go for something different. Maybe teal and bright yellow or green. Maybe I would personalize them with the date I got them to know how long I’ve had em for. Haha!
I would totally customize the Nano Speeds & I’m thinking Neon Cherry, Candy Pink, Blue Blink and White! I may want them with my initials, or left blank – no cool nicknames here!
Happy Anniversary! We will celebrate 4 years next month! Love your themes!!!
I would personalize the Women’s ZigLite Rush with the personalization of Carriebear (my nickname from my sick grandfather and really close to my real name Carrie Baehr – God knew what he was doing when he sent me my sweet hubby. 🙂
My shoes would be neon pink, blue, and teal! LOVE THEM! 🙂
I would personalize the Reebok Nano 3.0 or Nano Speed! I love bright colors for shoes so definitely something neon and flashy!!
I am all about black and pink animal print! Not sure if I would put my name on it, but maybe I would. Congrats on 3 years of Marriage!
Love the colors you used of purple/blue/gray!!! And I would put my name on the back 🙂
1. the nano 3.0 … 2. I would choose neon yellow, I’ve been looking for the perfect yellow pair for months! … 3. I would write “push harder” for both myself and those that read it at the gym.
I would incorporate yellow and come up with something awesome to out on the back
I would customize the nanos – and they must be purple. I think I’d include something motivational like “Boston Strong” since I ran Boston for the first time last year and they just won the World Series!!!!
Yeah, we did!! (They did) 🙂
I’d love to try out the nanos!
I’ve been wanting to try the Nanos since hearing about them all over the blogs! I love a pop of pink on my shoes to energize me and make me smile!
Nano’s in pink, purple, neon green, and white. I would personalize with Yo Mc.
Definitely pink maybe some grey or black!!
1) Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize?
— NANOs
2) What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design?
–Purple with lime green and a hint of magenta
3) If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say?
“Catch” “Up”
Not sure what colors I would like on the Nano’s but I would put the word believe on the back!
I would definetly make them grayish and teal!! How cool!!
I would get the CrossFit Nano Speed because I would love a cross-trainer that could also be used for running. Good for bootcamp and regular running outside!
I would definitely use some brihgt colors…. I love bright shoes!
I would customize the nanos too! I would make a black pair with a small color pop to match everything!
Not sure about which shoe yet, but I’d have to do something with hot pink, purple & dark grey. I’d put “I think I can, I think I can” on the back, just like the Little Engine that Could. I’m self confident in all areas of my life except the gym, but I keep going & surprising myself.
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a Crossfit Nano Speed pair. How fun to be able to have shoes that are designed by you 🙂 So cute!
Love those shoes! I like my workout shoes bright, it makes the gym more cheerful. So I would probably do yellow and blue.
I would definitely customize a pair of Nanos with a bunch of shades of green!
Crossfit Nano’s!!! I’d choose bright colors – coral, neon green, maybe a little teal? So many options! Don’t think I’d personalize them since I’m not the most creative person when it comes to that kind of stuff!
I would definitely go for the Nano Speed. Then I’d change my mind about colors about a million times and agonize over whether I had the best combination. My final choice would inevitably be bright and obnoxious, with blue blink, cherry and neon orange or yellow. As a tribute to my high school cross country coach, the only words that belong on the shoe are “Go to the well.”
Happy Halloween indeed!! What a great giveaway! 🙂 I would choose the Nanos because I could use a pair of shoes for cross-training, and have heard nothing but rave reviews. Definitely some type of neon color combo to pump me up. If I personalized them, I’d pick BWE, for Best Workout Ever (based on an inside joke with my college girlfriends).
I would definitely incorporate pink into my shoes! Love your new purse- what a thoughtful husband!
I’m thinking green and navy blue…so fun! By the way, I chose Dots today too (out of a bunch of choices). My boss and I were walking over to the candy at the same time and I said to him, “you better not take the Dots!”. He jokingly took them and then gave them to me – there was only one box. I think it’s a great choice! 🙂
I want some nanos so bad!!!! They would be bright and beautiful! No idea what they would say but there would be something motivational for sure. Pick me! 🙂
Happy anniversary! My fiance and I plan on getting married next year around this same time.
I would love a pair of nanos in candy pink, ultra violet and maybe some grey!
(If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say?) I’d want it to say “GET IT” on the back to remind me to give my 100% effort.
I would love yellow because it is my favorite color! Also I would say Sabri on it because I am running for her in a half marathon in June!
My shoes would definitely be purple and they would say Peace Out!
I would get a combo of black, purple and maybe gray. I love a little color with some good neutrals!
