VENDOR, KARINA PERES, SAYING:

MARKET VISITOR, ALAN ROMERO, SAYING:

"I believe in cleansings. I think it's important to perform an end of the year cleanse to get rid of all the bad things brought by the passing year, so that you have a fresh start of the year on January the first, with a perfectly aligned aura."

and candles in the cleansing
