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 the nano 3.0 or the speeds!
Oh how cool of a website! I didn’t even know this existed, thank you!:) I think I like the ZigRush shoes the best of all! I would incorporate pink and blue, maybe black into my shoes, but not too much. Or gray possibly:) Also, for the saying, I think I’d just like my name Heather McClees put on the back like you had put on yours:) What a cute and generous giveaway! Thanks Julie:)
I would definitely want the Nanos!!
My shoes would be dark blue and grey!!
I would do the nanos with some bright colors! I would put my new initials on the back since I am getting married next October!
I would do green and yellow because they are my favorite colors!
I would definitely do dark grey and then something bright. If I were to add text on the back I think I would do “get it” hahha
I’d love to customize a pair of Nano 3.0s – I’m all about color so I’d probably manage to use all the color options available! I’m not sure if I’d want to put anything on it – maybe my name?
I’d get them either in orange and black (my school colors) or orange and lime green.
What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design?
green, green, green, green, green…. <3 and a little white!
I would get green shoes with some encouraging little word
I really need a new pair of running shoes so I would go with the RealFlex Scream 2.0!
My shoes would have gray and yellow in the design. I love that color combo!
I’d customize the Ziglite Run in all black with while and silver accents so they’d go with everything, but have BOSTON STRONG written on the back in lime green and blue.
Love this! Nanos for sure! Love greys and greens! 🙂 Who knows I’d probably spend hours and go through 4-5 combinations like yoU!
Definitely the Nanos.
Mine would certainly be all shades of pink!
I would love some new running shoes that had some kelly green and a dark grey!
I would love to customize a pair of nanos in black and some neon accent for winter workouts!
I would customize the nanos!! Super cute purse by the way!
I would design the Nanos! Ive heard from a lot of people that they are great shoes! I’d probably use purple and maybe light blue or green… I’m not sure.
What a fun opportunity! Mine would focus on hot pink because I’m a girly girl at heart!
I would definitely customize a pair of Nano’s for crossfit! Great giveaway 🙂
I love the color blue, so I would probably use that as one of my colors. But my current shoes are hot pink, and I’ve been surprised at how much I love the pop of color.
I would definitely design my own nanos I hear great things about them.
I’d for sure get the nano speeds!! I’ve been eyeing them FOREVER!
I would love a pair of purple nanos! I’m not sure what they would say, preferably something inspirational. There are a lot of good ideas in this comments section!
I have been playing around with Reebok’s customizable shoes online over the past few weeks! I would love to own a pair that incorporated yellow, pink, and teal.
I would get the RealFlex Scream 2 shoes. As for colors, I’m not sure–I think we crashed the design page of Reebok because it wouldn’t load the options! Ha! But, if they had teal, that would certainly be one of the colors I’d choose.
I would also design the Nanos, using purple (my fave), grey and bright yellow. I don’t think I’d write anything on them, as I couldn’t think of anything witty enough.
I happen to LOVE dots, though Twizzlers are my absolute favorite!
If I won, I would customize the Nano 3.0s!
I don’t think I could commit to writing anything on them, but I’d love a bright pair! All my shoes are plain colors!
I would love some new shoes!!! I would probably do some sort of red/crimson and white shoes with “ROLL” on the back of my left shoe and “TIDE” on the right. I’m a big Bama Football fan! 🙂
I would customize the Nanos. I don’t think I would write anything because I have no imagination to come with anything good! I would probably leans towards a grey/yellow/purple combo.
I love their real flex shoes! I had a pair about a year ago that I absolutely loved for Jazzercise but I haven’t had a chance to try the new version of them, so those for sure!
I would customize the nano speed because I have been eyeing that shoe for a while. Id definitely get something grey with hints of bright blue or green.
I would want my shoes to say “run hard” !
All of your personalized designs look great! I would definitely customize a pair of the nano 3.0s.
This is the coolest thing… right up there with those light-up shoes I had as a kid! Loving all bright colour combinations right now so I’d totally go all out with neons.
I would get the nanos in bright colors.
I love those shoes! Oh man, I’m so indecisive, I’m not sure what they’d say, or what colours I’d choose.
I would love to design a pair of Crossfit Nano Speeds! And I would probably be feeling a lime green/black color combo. 🙂
Also, I love your anniversary gift idea! Your creativity is astounding.
I would love a pair of Crossfit Nano Speeds in aqua, lime green, and pink. I might personalize them with a scripture verse from the Bible or my monogram. I’m from the South, so of course everything must be monogrammed 🙂
Can you choose a different colour for each shoe? Because I would absolutely be on board with that. Otherwise blue. And despite my relatively average times, it would be nice to have ‘eat’ ‘dust’ on the back of my heels. It’s just a shame it would be too small for anyone to read unless they were literally eating dust. 🙁
Dots are awesome! Your coworkers are definitely wrong. haha
I would want my shoes to say Erin just because I think thatd be really cool!
I would design a pair of Nanos, since I’ve seen so many rave reviews on them! I’d have to go with coral and maybe some teal or blue? Probably something similar to the first pair you made! I prob wouldn’t personalize, since all I could think to do would be my name and that’s not very exciting.
I would incorporate blue and orange! I like bright colors for my shoes =D
SO cool! I would personalize mine to say “STAND for peace” or “STAND for happiness.” A little play on words! 🙂
I would want to customize the nanos! I would want mine to say “Yum-Yum” because my husband is a pilot and they have call signs (yes, like in Top Gun).. Well once a year they do a take-your-spouse-to-work-day and the guys come up with call signs for the wives… After a crazy weird dream of mine about another woman (gasp!), my husband dubbed me “Yum-Yum”.
Hi Julie!
I would LOVE to customize the Reebok Nano Speed and would use pink and purple. I’d personalize them with my nickname “Lala” 😀
Thanks for the opportunity! Love your blog!
