Five Favorite Perfumes + Favorite Perfume Subscription
I've loved perfumes since I was a little girl and would smell the bottles on my mom and grandmother's dressers. I wear perfume every day, and sometimes even will spritz some on in the evening because I love always smelling beautiful! I'm often asked what I am wearing so wanted to share my favorite scents here + my favorite affordable subscription for trying new designer scents.
My 5 Favorite Perfumes
Burberry Brit Sheer: This is my most worn fragrance. It is light enough for every day and sexy enough for a date. With floral notes and citrus undertones, it is delightful. I think it is perfect for just about anyone.
Buy here
Versace Bright Crystal: This is like the older sister to Burberry Brit Sheer. It is a little heavier, but in the same family of floral notes with citrus undertones. I love it and just bought my second bottle.
Buy here
Gucci Guilty: This is my favorite perfume for fall/winter or for going out. It is a rich, heavier scent that always get compliments. I like it so much that I have both a large bottle for my home and a travel bottle that I keep in my travel essentials pack.
Buy here
ILYSB by Dime Beauty: For a light perfume, my go to is ILYSB by Dime. It is a totally different scent with gardenia and sandalwood notes. This is also perfect for someone who sometimes has allergies/reactions to perfumes, as Dime is formulated using only the cleanest ingredients. Use code TURNER20 to save 20% off anything on Dime's site, including the Super Perfume Bundle.
Buy here
Amazing Grace: This Philosophy perfume is wildly popular, and it's totally understandable! I just started wearing it this year and love that it is a perfect everyday scent. It has bergamot and musk notes that works with pretty much everything. It's also really affordable.

My Favorite Perfume Subscription
While the above five scents are what I wear most often, I wear a lot of other scents too thanks to Scentbox. Scentbox is a subscription service that allows you to choose from 850+ designer fragrances delivered in a perfect travel sized bottle every month. To say I am obsessed with it is not an understatement.
It is without question my favorite monthly delivery, and I have discovered so many new perfumes because of it (including several on this list). You can choose what scent you get (so you could add each of the above fragrances if you wanted!) and if you don't like a scent, they offer free exchanges. If you don't know what to pick, they will make recommendations.
Each bottle is a month's supply (roughly 100-120 sprays per bottle). Scentbox is truly a fantastic service because you are getting designer scents at a fraction of retail.
Scentbox is $15.95 a month + free shipping, but with my link you can get 35% off your first month. I think this would be an amazing Valentine's Day gift! Try it here.
I hope this helps you discover some new perfumes! Want more suggestions? Check out my friend Merrick's list of her favorite fragrances.

Why I Vaccinated My Kids Against COVID-19
This post is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Having worked in social media communications for a leading teaching hospital for more than a decade, including a year at the start of the pandemic, I have learned far more about vaccines than the average person. And what I believe to my core is that science can be trusted.
Here are some facts that have been helpful to me:
- Clinical trials found vaccines were nearly 100% effective in preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19.
- Moreover, millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history. This safe, effective vaccine, tailored for younger ages, can now help us protect our children ages 5 and older from COVID.
- If you are not vaccinated—no matter your age—you are at risk of getting sick, and yes, even dying. Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 1,000 children have died from COVID.
Data and science don’t lie. I feel more informed and confident about this vaccine than I ever have about any other vaccine I have given my children.
So it is of no surprise that when the COVID vaccine became available for children ages 5-11, I was one of the first in my city to schedule my two young children. They have been fully vaccinated for several weeks.
I didn’t realize the weight of fear I was carrying, sending them to school each day without the protection of a vaccine. But I now send them to school with a peace of mind I didn’t have at the start of the school year. They are safer now because they are vaccinated, and I am so grateful.
We can do this, friends. We can proactively offer our children the protection they need and deserve. Find vaccines near you at vaccines.gov or text your ZIP code to 438829 for vaccines near you. Also, the vaccines are free, regardless of insurance status.
If you have questions, reach out to your family’s doctor or pediatrician. They can help you make an informed decision.
Please note: I will not tolerate anti-science comments or negative comments about my parenting choices on this post.
3 Embroidery Projects I'm Starting
The winter months are a perfect time to enjoy time inside stitching. I have so many stitching projects waiting to be stitched that I thought I would share what three I am looking forward to stitching this winter. Whether you are a novice embroiderer or a seasoned stitcher, these three projects are sure to keep you busy for hours. Each project is quite different, but all are broken up into bite-sized stitching, which I think is perfect for busy women who are short on time, but crave creative practices. Some links in this post are affiliate links.
Also, some of the projects are taught in Creativebug, which is an online craft class portal. Right now they are offering three months for $1, so if you are looking for instruction to go with your embroidery, definitely check out Creativebug. I think their embroidery teachers and classes are top notch and I am excited to be doing a few.
For more on getting started with embroidery, check out my embroidery beginners blog post here.
Cozy Quilt Stitchalong
I'm so excited about this FREE stitchalong with Celeste from Lemon Made Shop. A stitchalong is when you stitch along with other people to complete the same project in a set period of time.
Celeste is offering this free Cozy Quilt pattern + daily instruction via her Instagram starting on 1/7, but you could do it at any point. I am planning to stitch in real time starting the 7th and am really excited about it.
Also, Celeste has a great embroidery book called Freshly Stitched, which includes multiple projects and step by step stitching guides.
The Schoolhouse Sampler with Rebecca Ringquist
This course is in Creativebug and it is a daily sampler with 31 stitches. I absolutely love Rebecca as a person and respect her as a teacher. I am excited about this class because I think it will push me to learn new stitches and techniques, which is just what I want for the beginning of the year. You can trace the sampler onto cotton fabric, or buy it from Rebecca's etsy shop (which is what I did).
Here's the description from Creativebug.
Master embroiderer and fine artist, Rebecca Ringuist, shares 31 days of stitches in our first ever <a href=”https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1942501&u=364168&m=42943&urllink=&afftrack=”>Daily Embroidery Challenge</a>. Using her “Drawing Stitches” sampler as a basis, Rebecca’s embroidery style is vibrant, original, and simple enough for all skill levels to follow along. You’ll start with basic stitches, then move on to groups of stitches that create textural effects, like confetti, fancy chains, zigzags, flowers, and filling stitches. Each day, you’ll expand your knowledge of embroidery and build on techniques to combine elements that look complex but are easy to execute. Best of all, at the end of the month not only will you have learned loads of new techniques, but you’ll also have a finished sampler!
Learn how to:
Hand-sew 31 embroidery stitches
Combine stitches to create new textures and background stitches
Work with a variety of embroidery threads and needles
What you’ll get:
An easy-to-follow class teaching 31 different types of embroidery stitches – at the end of the month, you’ll have a finished sampler!
31 HD video lessons you can access online anytime, anywhere
Itemized supply list
Step-by-step instruction by expert instructor Rebecca Ringquist
The ability to leave comments, ask questions and interact with other students
Embroidered ABC Wall Hanging: A Daily Practice
This is another daily practice embroidery class in Creativebug. I bought the sampler from Lauren's etsy shop, but you can also simply trace the pattern on cotton fabric. I have had the sampler since last year, so now is the time to get it stitched!
Here's the description from Creativebug:
Fiber artist Lauren of Lark Rising Embroidery designed this delightful Embroidered ABC Wall Hanging with her own children in mind. Join her in this month-long, nature-inspired embroidery practice that gradually builds your stitching skills, resulting in a treasured heirloom that will bring love and art to any room or nursery.

Each day, you'll learn how to embroider a different picture from the alphabet. When your ABC's are complete, see how to turn your finished embroidery into a wall hanging to adorn the home of a loved one.
Learn how to:
Make an embroidered a wall hanging with alphabet lettering and corresponding images from nature
