A Personal Touch
I created this bowl during a trip to Kampot, inspired by local market fruit stands stacked with papaya and mint. The colors alone felt like summer, and after eating it a few mornings in a row, I noticed my skin glowing more than usual. It’s now a staple in my summer wellness routine!
