Are you currently in a relationship where you and your significant other have talked about a future together? Maybe you haven\u2019t exactly discussed marriage or engagement rings, but you would love to break the ice in a safe environment. Perhaps you\u2019re already engaged, but you cannot decide what wedding band or bands to pair with your diamond ring. Or how about you\u2019re married and expecting a baby; a push present might be in your near future!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can relate to any of the above scenarios, I highly suggest marking yours and your significant other\u2019s calendars for Monday, November 13th, 2017. Stop by anytime between 6pm and 8pm at Robbins Brothers<\/a> in North Scottsdale at the Promenade. I will be in attendance to host the stress-free event for a select group of couples. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Idea<\/b><\/p>\n

When my husband and I were shopping for my engagement ring, I felt excited, overwhelmed and pressured to buy whatever the sales person was throwing at me. What I really wanted was a special moment between my future fiance and myself to figure out what diamond and ring style we liked together and what we could afford, without feeling like a burden to the sales person. Neither of us had any idea about the cost of diamonds or what kind of diamond we would want. In discussing my pain points with Robbins Brothers, this event was born. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Pampering<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had multiple friends tell me how stressful it is to plan a wedding and that it starts even before they\u2019re engaged. In thinking about what would make an engagement ring and wedding ring shopping experience more relaxed and less stressful, I thought about being pampered, and of course wine, lots of wine! At this upcoming event, there will be five different stations for you and your date to explore while also discovering what kind of diamond ring, wedding band, or push present you might want one day. The first station is a Sommelier-guided wine tasting and food pairings station by Samantha Sommelier<\/a>. Next, there is a braid bar by hair magicians Lauren<\/a> and Sam<\/a>, who can show you the latest braid styles or create magic on your own head. Erica from June Pearl Beauty<\/a> will be offering mini-makeovers, so come ready for a bold lip, cat eyes or beautifully bronzed skin. In case your man doesn\u2019t want braids and a makeover, together you can relax with a calming hand treatment from Dermalogica<\/a> in Scottsdale. Lastly, a variety of cupcakes from Sweets by Andrea Croci<\/a> will be available for your tastebuds and Core<\/a> water to wash it all down.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Prizes<\/b><\/p>\n

To top off the event, we will have multiple raffles available to guests who attend the event. If you\u2019re only able to pop in for a few minutes, you do not have to be present to win the raffles and you can choose which raffle you\u2019d prefer to be entered in. Without giving away too much, here are a few of the prizes you can win:<\/span><\/p>\n
