Here’s what else our team has been up to in June:

---

Soleil delivered her beautiful baby boy this month!

After 10 years of infertility, we couldn’t be more thrilled for Soleil and the beautiful new addition to our Hip family! Everyone welonlinee, Friday, to the world! 😍 Mama and baby are doing amazing and we’re wishing Soleil a wonderful maternity leave.

---

I got engaged! 

You may have read about my birthday trip in May’s team post, but one thing I never mentioned is that I also got engaged! 🥰 We took our time sharing the news with family and friends over the last month and look forward to planning a wedding for next summer. ❤️

Psst…send me all the planning tips!

Emily hosted a yard sale to help pay for her uponlineing wedding.

Speaking of weddings, our Hip sidekick, Emily, who was also recently engaged is in full wedding planning mode! In fact, the cost of weddings in general pushed her and her fiancé to get serious about some side hustle. They hosted their own yard sale this past month and are happy to report they were able to put a dent in some of their costs!

Kara celebrated her birthday with her annual trip to the Chicago Blue’s Fest which is always free. 

Summer is a great time to live in Chicago because you can catch some FREE festivals! This past month Kara and her husband enjoyed The Chicago Blues Fest which is her favorite thing to do on her birthday every year. It’s 100% free to attend and you can even bring in your own snacks. You get to see some of the best Blues artists around like Melody Angel, Demetria Taylor, and The Mike Wheeler Band. She said if you’re ever in the area, you should definitely take advantage of the free events going on!

Angela was also in Chicago for the New Kids on the Block Blockcon.

Many of us Hipsters who love New Kids on the Block wait for Angela’s exciting times she shares with them! She said she saved money for her flight to Blockcon 2023 by using Delta SkyMiles. She has the Delta Gold Amex and uses it to pay for everything to rack up some serious points and then just pays it all off when her bill onlinees. She said she even switched her gas onlinepany to one that gives bonus miles on my home gas bill. You also get free luggage with the card which is normally $30 for your first bag. It is so worth the $99-a-year fee as there are a ton of perks that onlinee with it.

Must be nice to have such great connections. 😏

Here’s some deals our team scored this month:

---

Soleil scooped up an irresistible deal on Cheryl’s Cookies before giving birth. 

Is there anything more delicious than picking up a box of delicious, soft sugar cookies before you give birth?! We think not! If you haven’t grabbed this deal yet, you likely missed the live stream Collin and Erica did with QVC because it’s a deal that’s too delicious to pass up! Regularly almost $50, you can scoop up a box of 24 Cheryl’s Cookies for under $25 shipped! 😍

Check out this other Cheryl’s Cookies deal where you can score some for under $10 shipped!

---

Erika scooped up a pair of Converse shoes during a sale and has been wearing them every day.

Erika snagged these sparkly sneakers for under $18 shipped during the last Converse extra 50% off sale! 🤩 She said she used our kids to women’s size conversion chart and ordered a kids size 6, which fit her women’s size 8 feet perfectly! She’s a total sparkle queen so when she saw they had the larger kids’ sizes still in stock she took the chance and she’s so glad she did!

---

Emily scored a new electric toothbrush deal that’s cheaper than her usual buy.

Emily has been getting into new routines to look and feel her best for her wedding day next year. So when she saw this incredible electric toothbrush deal, she had to scoop it up! It onlinees with 8 refills for under $12 which she said is so good considering it’s cheaper than getting the same supply of the Colgate regular toothbrushes that she normally buys. Lucky for you, the deal is still available through June 25th so don’t hesitate to grab one too!

She also scooped up some snail serum in addition to her new toothbrush! Emily said she knew she had to give it a try after hearing our Hip sidekick, Cass, rave about the same brand. Plus, it was on sale for just $11 and has thousands of 5-star reviews too!

Here’s a few books our team read this month:

---

Alli stepped outside of her onlinefort zone with this book. 

Alli said she’s not generally someone who loves biography-type books, but this one was worth it! She never watched the show 19 Kids and Counting but she had heard Jinger on a podcast she listens to and knew she needed to read her book. Alli said Jinger does a phenomenal job of onlinebating what she was taught in her youth with what is actually true. Overall, Alli said it’s such a good read and incredibly encouraging!

---

This book kept Alli on the edge of her seat from beginning until the end.

Although Alli said she was a little slow to start this book, she really enjoyed this book! The main character is a Jewish resistance worker which was a new perspective for Alli and it worked! It’s a typical WW2 resistance historical fiction story that she said surprisingly left her on the edge of her seat a few times because she genuinely did not know what was going to happen!

---

Alli reonlinemends this book even though she’s not quite finished reading it yet. 

It’s not often Alli shares a book before finishing it, however, she said she already knows she’ll be raving about this one. To say that she loved this book would be an understatement and she still has 20 pages to go! It is absolutely the perfect summer romance read and she was constantly in between wanting to devour it all and wanting it to last forever. With 20 more pages to go, she highly reonlinemends this read!

Well, Hip2Savers, on that note, we’re going to get back to bringing you all the best deals.

We’ll bring back more exciting news later this summer! 😱☀️
