Giveaway: 4 Readers Win Scentsy Products!
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, May 28th, 2010 at 6:25 pm.

Who doesn’t love walking into their house and smelling Baked Apple Pie, Sweet Pea & Vanilla, Clove & Cinnamon, or Coconut Palm?! These are just some of the wonderful scents that are available through Scentsy. Scentsy began in 2003 with the simple idea of aromatic candles – decorative warmers with wax melted by the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame (this means none of the safety risks or smoke that accompany a burning candle!). Scentsy Wickless candles are safer, stronger and longer lasting than wicked candles…Scentsy also has hanging fresheners, travel tins and room sprays available!
In addition to Scentsy’s beautiful classic style warmers, be sure to check out the campus collection (perfect for a graduation gift plus a portion of the proceeds of the sales are returned back to the school of the chosen warmer), the Sunshine Kids warmer (100% of the profits go to the Sunshine Kids Foundation to help children with cancer), the Design it Yourself warmer (choose from 18 rub-on or transfer theme packs to make your warmer totally unique) and much more. Plus, with Father’s Day approaching in June, be sure to check out the great Scentsy Man fragrances like Hemingway, Oxford and/or Rustic Lodge.
Thanks to Stephanie, an independent Scentsy consultant, 4 lucky Hip2Save readers will each win a Scentsy full-sized system which consists of 1 full-size Scentsy Warmer AND 3 Scentsy Bars ($40 value; winners will be able to select the warmer style and the bar fragrances).
If you are interested in entering this giveaway, please click on the “Enter this Giveaway” button below and leave a comment letting us know your favorite Scentsy fragrance (if you have never tried Scentsy, you can browse the catalog found here and let us know what fragrance you would like to try)

You In Bloom ~ The Power of Words
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, May 28th, 2010 at 4:26 pm.
Words are powerful.
As a blogger, I’ve learned first hand the power of words. I am very aware that the words I choose when writing a post will ultimately form an impression, create a reaction, and/or develop an emotion from you, my reader. I bring this up because it is essential to me that Hip2Save be a place that you feel welcome, informed and comfortable. While the freedom to express your views and opinions is important, it is just as important, that the Hip2Save environment remain a positive and supportive one.
The comments section of my posts, at times, can get a little heated. Although, there is always room for debate, we need to be sure the the words that are chosen during these debates be helpful rather than hurtful. I now have an extra set of eyes helping to monitor this area of the blog in hopes of minimizing the overly negative (or just plain mean) comments that sometimes are made. I’m asking you to help in this effort by keeping an upbeat attitude that is encouraging rather than discouraging. To me, as a whole, Hip2Save has become an amazing community of really special, uplifting people and I thank you for that. In the spirit of this You In Bloom topic, “The Power of Words”, I have included one of my favorite inspirational quotes.
I would like to dedicate today’s comments section to favorite quotes, poems, and riddles that are POSITIVE and encouraging. Thanks in advance for sharing your words and spreading good vibes! Hip Hip Hooray!
“It’s never too late to be what you might have been.”

Giveaway: 2 Readers win 2 Sejaa Pure SkinCare Kits ($160 value)!
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, May 28th, 2010 at 4:17 pm.

Wouldn’t you love to find a skin care product that nourishes the skin AND the whole mind, body and soul…skincare that helps people look good and feel good about using it?! Well, Sejaa Skincare does just that! Sejaa is passionate about promoting naturally healthy, beautiful skin while at the same time supporting sound, environmental responsibility, sustainability and the conservation of our earth’s valuable resources.

Supermodel, Gisele Bündchen, launched her personal skincare line, Sejaa Pure Skincare, in March of this year. Driven by the desire to develop a line of pure and natural skincare, Gisele also wanted to create products with as little impact on the environment as possible. Using all-natural ingredients, calming fragrances, thoughtful packaging and recycled paper, Sejaa Pure Skincare was born.
The result? A revolutionary skincare line that protects and supports skin’s natural radiance, while also protecting the health and beauty of our environment. When asked how her personal philosophy ties into what she is doing with Sejaa, she said, “I really want to share. My philosophy is: When you find something that makes you feel so good, share it. Sejaa is a part of something I’m concerned about, which is my skin and what I put on my skin. It’s a small part of what I think is important to think about. I have a voice and I feel I have to share this – something that has been so beneficial for me in my life and has helped me be a more complete person should be shared with everyone.”

What Do You Do in the Summer Months?!
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, May 28th, 2010 at 3:50 pm.

I received quite a few emails from readers asking for tips/suggestions/ideas for keeping summertime boredom at bay. So I am asking all of you to share your thoughts on how to keep your kids entertained throughout the summer months without spending any money. Here is one of the recent emails that I have received…
I am the mom of 2 amazing kids, a boy, 4 and girl, 2. I am lost when it comes to keeping them busy during the summer months. I would love to know what other readers do to keep their kids busy or occupied during the day. We love to go outdoors, but can’t when raining or too hot. Any ideas/activities would be greatly appreciated.
In addition to combating boredom, I have received a few emails about how to provide healthy snacks on a budget that are car-friendly/travel-friendly…
With summer break right around the corner (tomorrow, YIKES) and the kiddos being home full time along with a busy activity schedule, I am starting to panic about our food costs going up along with finding cheap snack and take along food ideas! (I am going to set our goal to grabbing fast food once a week) I am fairly new to couponing and would love to hear the ideas of moms who have struggled with this before!
Please share your suggestions in the comment section below!! Thanks so much!

This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, May 28th, 2010 at 1:00 pm.

Did you know that Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil?! Although other companies sell coconut oil in the US, most of this coconut oil is mass-produced by machines.

In addition to the amazing coconut oil, Tropical Traditions offers high quality organic foods and grass-fed meats raised by small-scale family farmers, a full range of organic skin care products, and non-toxic household products!
Thanks to Tropical Traditions, 1 lucky Hip2Save reader will win the following products (a $139.40 value!)…
* Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil 16 oz. – $25 value
