Her new line, TWM by Tracy Wilson Mourning The Bath & Body Ritual Collection, takes the dynamic roles of women, like Goddess, Soulmate, Mother and Friend, and blends them with essential oils for a offering of washes, scrubs, lotions and oils. She also offers Lover and Kiss, two lines that will make you feel as sexy as you’ll smell, as well as pulse point perfumes. It’s all the moisturizing you need and more with a hint of local flavor and a big dose of girl power. GET IT: Therapy 2201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305.673.9170 and online at honeychild.net.
