Ladies of leap year, are you ready to propose to your other half? We have the ring...

TRESemmé's Beauty-Full Volume Range Leap Year Engagement Ring
A couple of months ago I got a call, from a friend. She said, "Emily, I have a rather interesting proposition for you as a friend. Feel like proposing?" Well, now dear reader, the truth is I am commitment phobe of the worst kind when it comes to decisions like this. Thank goodness I'm the lady and don't have to be to be tasked with asking such monumental questions such as "will you marry me?" Only this year, well, this year is different. 2016 is a leap year. This is the year when, traditionally, the ladies hold the cards. And I have the great opportunity of seeking out some ladies who might like a little assistance in this area. So, what's the deal? You want to propose? How about getting a little help with the ring? 

Here's the deal. TRESemmĂ©, yes the hair brand we all know and love have taken on the task of helping five women (maybe you?) propose this year - with the ring and all. And the ring (pictured above) isn't just any engagement ring. This has been developed with some thought involving the jewellers Comfort Station. The inside of the ring will be engraved with the latitude and longitude of your choosing - perhaps the space where you choose to propose? And in place of the traditional diamond in an engagement ring, you will instead find that an "x" marks the spot - translate that as you will. 

It's all in honour of the launch of TRESemmĂ©'s new hair system where everything is in reverse. Ever heard of the concept of conditioning first and shampooing second? Well, if you're a fan of some great full bodied hair, you're going to want to get on board with this pretty quick with TRESemmĂ©'s Beauty-Full Volume Range. As most of you already know, conditioner has the ability to sometimes weigh the hair down after washing and leaving style flat and lifeless. This new range is truly a life changer. It gives you the tools to condition first and then wash away the weight with shampoo that will give your hair some beautiful bounce. Nice, right?

So, would you propose to your other half? If so get in touch here reversetheroutine@gmail.com to discretely request a ring. 

All the details, officially, can be found below. But, let me just say this... I want all the official details from you if you end up being a leap year marriage story!!!! 
TRESemmé's Beauty-Full Volume Range

Open to female UK residents aged 18+.  To enter submit email to ReverseTheRoutine@gmail.com. with the reason why you want to propose to your partner in max 300 words.  2 entry periods: 1st period opens 11am 29th February and closes 12pm GMT on 7th  March 2016; 2nd period opens  11am 8th March and closes 12pm GMT on 14th March 2016. 1 entry per mail address across both entry periods. Prizes: 5x a 9 carat white gold male engagement ring from Comfort Station.  See Facebook for full terms.
