Even though the Quinceanera is a tradition that dates back over 500 years. Todays’ Latina can use the latest technology when planning for her special day.
Check out this website for the Quinceanera to Use the Virtual Model to Choose Best Hair Style. This is a great place for experimenting with different hairstyles. The site offers a virtual model that you can adjust to match your own measurements, age, and skin tone.
What’s next? Will the traditional Corte of Honor be replaced with virtual dancers?
Technology has changed our lives so much. Before long the close contact we experienced all the time with friends and family is now becoming less and less. It used to be teens talked on the phone too much of the time. Now it’s text messaging. It takes less time and you can text a few people in the same period of time as you would make one phone call to one person.
Life is becoming more and more impersonal. Learning how to communicate face to face will probably become more of a challenge as we continue to get more attached to our cell phones, I pods, and computers.
I recommend mom’s should have some fun also and check out the InStyle.com site and play with the makeover section.
Have fun.
All the best,
Priscilla

How to Help Your Quinceanera Have Her Best Life
Why will making a mistake change a Latina’s life forever? Do you know the important secret to ensure your Quinceanera will be the Princess she deserves to be? And not have a life of the victim who lost out, because she made the wrong choices.
The news is blasting the latest scary statistics of the increase in teen dropouts and teen pregnancy. The numbers are increasing every week. Click here for the ABC news story on teen pregnancy.
Teen pregnancy is an epidemic!
Teen dropout is an epidemic!
Don’t let it happen to your daughter!
The secret to making sure your Quinceanera doesn’t fall victim of some boy who says, he ‘loves her’ just to get what he wants. She needs you to be her mentor. A mentor is a trusted guide.
Your daughter needs you more than ever before to listen without judging her. She needs guidance as to what are her best choices for her now and for her future. She needs to be guided as to what is the right choice and what is the wrong choice and why.
She needs someone who loves and accepts her for who she is.
If you don’t feel comfortable to discuss the challenging subjects such as sex and school and friends. You need to seek out another caring adult who you daughter feels comfortable with. Someone who will listen to her fears and hopes with compassion.
In my Quinceanera book, I discuss how to communicate with your daughter about her challenges and the choices she makes.
The section for parents…’Parent Talk’ is a guide for parents’ of teens and how to handle their new role.
Now is the perfect time when you’re planning your daughter’s Quince celebration to develop an even closer mother-daughter relationship that will grow forever.
You need to make sure your Quinceanera completes her high school education and doesn’t become a teen mother.
Giving your daughter a beautiful Quince Celebration is wonderful, but what your daughter also needs is a MOM who will listen to her and who she can trust.
This is the time for the Latina to have the life her ancestors wouldn’t have been able to have.
All the best,
Priscilla
