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

How to Choose Your Quinceanera Dress
A mom planning her daughter's Quinceanera called the other day concerned about how she could help her choose the best dress for her. She said the problem was her daughter's Quince was still six months away, but she didn't want to wait till the last minute to purchase her dress.
The big problem was that her daughter's weight changed a lot from month to month.
I told her not to worry, because many dresses designed for the Quinceanera were made to handle this challenge. Since teen girls weight does change so much, because of usual biological reasons many manufacturers are aware of this fact and have come up with a solution.
The answer is to choose a Quinceanera dress that's made with a lace up closing instead of one that has buttons or a zipper.
Check out our informational page about 'How to Choose the Best Dress'.
Also look at our pictures and descriptions we have quite a few to choose from.

Quinceanera Learns How to Celebrate during Recession
Mom's these days are telling their daughters they can't afford to have the Quinceanera they had hoped to have. I find where ever I go, everyone is talking about the difficult financial times we are all going through. If you are the same way as me when I turn on the TV and listen to the news, I feel just terrible. My friends tell me they feel the same way...
So! I recommend if we stop listening to the newscasters' recession messages we will feel better and enjoy each day, instead of worrying about it all the time. Just because our country is experiencing economic difficulties it doesn't mean we should stop living and enjoying the important things in life.
Sharing the rites of passage with family and friends is what our ancestors did. I'm sure our ancestors adjusted to what ever challenges they had to deal with at the time. Whether it was bad weather, poor crops, illness, fires or what ever. I'm sure our ancestors didn't give up celebrating the special Quince celebration for their fifteen year old girl on her birthday.
During the difficult times the community joined together sharing their love and gratitude for her as she made her step in life from a little girl to a young woman. Why shouldn't we do the same thing...
What we need to do is spend more time and focus on what does the Quinceanera Celebration mean to everyone in the family? It's not how lavish or how much money is spent on the party that makes it an important and memorable occasion.
I recommend you read Lily's story about her Quinceanera. In her Ask Lily blog, she writes about how wonderful she felt being the Princess at her Quinceanera Celebration. After you read her entries, I recommend you have your Quinceanera read them also. Then both of you should sit down and talk about what you want to do to celebrate her rite of passage. What does her Quince mean to both of you?
Don't miss out! When you sign up for my complimentary newsletter, and confirm your sign up, you will then be able to download my gift to you - the 17 page Quinceanera eplanner. When you review the pages of the eplanner it will assist you and members of your family to decide how you want to celebrate the Quinceanera's right of passage during the recession.
Enjoy,
Priscilla
P.S. Check out my Quinceanera book about how to plan a dream Quinceanera on a budget.

Quinceanera's Can Fulfill Their Dreams
January 20th was a day in American history that brought everyone closer together, no mater what color, background or education. It was a day when everyone shared in supporting our new President. A man who came from a home with no father. A home where his grandmother was his support and mentor.
If you saw the inauguration you would have seen so many different leaders of our country. Many of them woman who were involved in todays celebration in roles that no other woman in history have been involved in before. This country is going through changes. Good changes. It's a country that now honors woman in new roles of leadership.
As a mom of a Quinceanera and/or mentor of a young woman, it's time for you to guide your daughter or mentee for her to realize how special she is. Let her know she has the opportunity to fulfill her dream. A dream that she has talked about. And maybe you thought she was silly, when she told you she wanted to be a doctor, or a teacher or a attorney or whatever career path she mentioned.
Did you think to yourself... 'it would be so difficult for her to try and get there. I don't want her to be disappointed.' Did you want her to take the easy path. A path she knows and she won't fail.
Read the words of President Lincoln.
"You can have anything you want - if you want it badly enough. You can be
anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish, if you hold
to that desire with singleness of purpose."
Be there for your daughter, especially as she celebrates her Quinceanera. Support her when she discusses her dreams with you. Believe in her dreams. She will love you more for being there and for your love and support.

How a Quinceanera Can Look like a Million on a Small Budget
Have you wondered why some of your friends and family are spending sooo much money on a Quinceanera's dress. A dress their daughter will only wear once?
Choosing the right style and color is more important than the price tag for a Quinceanera to look like a Princess.
I get phone calls all the time that the Quinceanera's sponsors donated money for her dress and they spent $1,000 on it. WoW...What kind of message is that for a girl who is planning on taking her first step as a young adult? As a young adult she will be responsible for making more decisions for herself.
After her Quince Celebration, when she says to her mother she wants to buy a pair of jeans for $150. And she gets upset when her mother says 'no' we can't afford it. The Quinceanera will be totally confused. She will be thinking her dress hanging in her closet cost $1,000. The jeans will only cost 15% of the price of her dress. And she can wear her jeans at least 100 times.
How can we expect our daughters to understand the value of things and make the best choices when they get mixed messages. Check out the great values of our designer Quinceanera dresses.
Do you have questions and need some assistance give me a call toll free: 1-866-478-4326.
All the best,
Priscilla

Well that's what is happening at Lily's home. There are only three more days till her Quinceanera celebration. Everyone is stressed out. They had hoped some relatives would come and help with the food preparation ahead of time. It's not happening. The guest list is getting bigger.
But, would Lily ever have wanted not to have her special Quince day? Read her blog entry, My Quince Diary and hear what she has to say.
Read about a miracle that has just happened to her mother. I had mentioned her mom was suffering from Multiple Sclerosis.

The Quinceanera's Diary ten days to go
Do you sometimes think about when you were a teen and who you talked to about things? The small things in your life and then things that seemed overwhelming you were too embarrassed to talk about them to anyone?
Things are different today. Our teens need their mom to listen to them more than ever before. So often we don't listen to our teens. We lecture. Our teens then run to their peers to listen to them. When this happens there is a risk of the outcome.
Hope you enjoy her diary as much as I do.
All the best,
Priscilla
P.S. Share Lily's blog - Diary with your daughter or a teen you know. If you haven't purchased my book for the Quinceanera and her family. Read what others say about it.

- They need us to listen to them.
- They need us to be understanding.
- They need us to be interested in what's on their mind.
- They need us to express that we are proud of their accomplishments-big and small.
- They need us to share our own ideas when they are ready to hear us.
- They need our appreciation and acceptance for who they are.
- They need our love.

Go over to my main website and read Lily's - My Quince Diary. Her daily entries express how she feels. She shares her excitement as her special day gets closer and closer.

Don't miss this wonderful sharing. Plus, it's a good idea for your daughter to read Lily's entries and then both of you can have fun discussing them.
Enjoy,
All the best,
Priscilla
P.S. Lily read my Quinceanera book and she loved it. Check it out.

Quinceanera Diary 12 days to go
A mom phoned the other day. She said her daughter was so busy with after school activities she had no time to help her with the last minute details for her Quinceanera celebration. Is this happening with your daughter? I recommend you read Lily's - 'My Quince Diary' ...of the 12 days before her big day.
Every word that Lily shares is authentic. Her words are filled with love and pure excitement.
Does your daughter share the same real emotion about her Quinceanera with you? If not, it might be a good time to sit down and review all the positive things that are happening. Only talk about the good things. Then give your daughter a hug and tell her how much you appreciate her and how proud you are of her.
Tell her how much you're looking forward to one of the most important days of her life.
Look into her eyes and enjoy the blessed moment you are sharing with each other.
