Tracy and Alonzo Mourning introduce their Honey Child Collection at Therapy Boutique

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my Sazoneros! In the spirit of love, check out this event I attended over the weekend called "Lover.Kiss." hosted by one of my favorite power couples: Tracy and Alonzo Mourning [pictured on the right]. On Saturday, February 12th, the duo introduced Honey Child's latest Bath & Body Ritual Collection by Tracy Wilson Mourning (TWM). Honey Child is a line of natural products developed by TWM featuring a variety of body polishing scrubs, cleansers, body glowing oils, moisturizers and perfume oils. The products are categorized into four distinctive scents: Goddess, Soulmate, Mother and Friend. The newest collections, Lover and Kiss, were revealed during this weekend's event at Therapy Boutique located at the W South Beach. You'll be happy to know that Therapy carries Honey Child at their South Beach location so make sure to stop by to indulge in these sensual products.

According to Tracy, "Honey Child reflects an inner style that fascinates and inspires others. She looks good because she feels good." TWM's collection leaves your skin feeling smooth and silky ladies! The best part of Honey Child: you can choose your favorite scent [Goddess, Soulmate, Mother or Friend] and find the matching scrub, lotion and perfume to complete your daily moisturizing ritual. To see the complete list of scents, visit the Honey Child website and click on the "About Us" section.

Guests of the "Lover.Kiss." event enjoyed Valentine's Day cupcakes, champagne and cocktails provided by Fenom. Ten percent of all of the sales made throughout the evening were donated to Honey Shine Mentoring Program, an Alonzo Mourning charity.

Tracy Mourning's Honey Shine Mentoring Program hosts a Networking Event in the Grove

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting the girls from Tracy Mourning's Honey Shine Mentoring Program over at Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart in Coconut Grove [pictured below/ photo by Jo Winstead]. Founded in 2002, the Honey Shine Mentoring Program provides positive experiences that nurture the mind, body and soul of young women in at-risk situations by improving their self-esteem and creating balance in their young lives. If this sounds like an organization that captivates your passion, then here's an upcoming event for you. On Thursday, January 20th, Mayfair Center, Event Visions and Grove Retrospective Gallery invite you to attend a "Young Professionals Networking Happy Hour" from 6 to 8 p.m. This is a special event for young professionals in our community who want to learn about Honey Shine and find ways to make a difference in the lives of these young honey bugs. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy cocktails and light bites provided by Atchana's East/ West Kitchen along with music by The Miami Music Conservatory. The event will be held at The Grove Retrospective Gallery located at the Mayfair Center in Coconut Grove [2911 Grand Avenue]. To RSVP, please email Andrea@honeyshine.org. Empowering young girls to shine as women will be your ultimate goal as an attendee!

Oxygene Boutique and Miami Magazine host Loree Rodkin Trunk Show at Bal Harbour Shops

I love social gatherings so I couldn't miss this special event at the Bal Harbour Shops! On Friday, December 17th, Oxygene Boutique and Miami Magazine hosted an exclusive trunk show to debut the latest hand crafted jewelry collection by Loree Rodkin. During the event, guests sipped on Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte while enjoying a variety of hors d'oeuvres. A portion from the evening's VIP preview reception benefited Tracy Mourning's (pictured on the left) Honey Shine Mentoring Program, a program of Alonzo Mourning Charities. Honey Shine provides a platform for young girls to develop their own voice as women. The program provides "Honey Bugs" [participants] with mentors, bi-weekly workshops and a chance to attend the most anticipated event of the year: Camp Honey Shine!
