Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your Choosing a color could be stressful, but worry no more we are here to help. COLOR IS VERY IMPORTANT it speaks who you are and gives you an edge. Color could be one of those things that can make a party or a fail to impress. No way?! So how can I get different colors to work for me? Well we have color all around us in nature, clothes, and art so why not get inspired.

COLOR can also determine the mood your party can have. For example if you want your party to be calming or relaxing go for more earthy tones like soft greens, browns, burnt reds, and even soft blues. But if you want a glamorous vibe go for gold, silver, reds, and black. One of my favorite and easy things to do is following the seasons. Every season has a color palette, spring has the pastels, summer the neons, fall the burnt reds, and winter the dark blues. So why limit your self with pinks and purples be original and make your party a work of art. Now we have so many options that sticking to traditional colors has been done over and over again. So here are three questions to ask yourself when picking your quince colors. What mood do you want your guest to feel when entering your venue? Have you been inspired by any art, dress, or a movie that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen? And finally do you see yourself loving this color? Use these questions to help you find that perfect color. And I guarantee your party would be a great success.

So be inspired and stay chic.

n’t You are not alone. Who does girls love candy? More and more tower just like you, want to see a . of sweets at their reception. From Candyland, Willy Wonka are some of our earliest dreams of sweetness hanging from trees, chocolate runs in rivers and pillars are peppermint sticks. Scan all those photos of candy buffets throughout the web and you’ll quickly spot two things. One, candy buffets are extremely popular. And two, while some are just feast for our eyes, other seem to fall short of the heights their planners must have hoped for.

FIRST TIP: ALWAYS LEAVE IT TO THE PROS. HIRE A CANDY STATION EXPERT IN YOUR AREA

SO.. WHATS THE SECRET?

1.- Buying enough candy. Sounds

simple, but it’s key.

2.-

Decoration: It must look good and fit in your overall decoration.

3.- Start with the table, not the guest count. You don’t’ want to give one pound of candy to each guest. It’s better to have a table full of options and abundance rather than counting ounces per person. 4.-

The theme thing. Use a background to fit your candy station into your quince theme, if not, it will look delicious but an isolated decoration.

5.-

The containers: Clear and elegant. This is key. Use all sort of containers and raise some of them to create volume.

6.-

Don’t forget the take-home. Go to the dollar store and get a bunch of containers and use a sticker to personalize them. PHOTO BY: Gustavo Villarreal

s ’ g n i h t First Finding the ideal venue can be difficult, with so many different options the experience can be overwhelming. Here are some quick and easy tips on how to choose the best venue and get the best bang for your buck.

So lets get started!

comes the hard part doing research. Picking which venue 3gives . Then you the most for less, is super

Start by allowing yourself at least a year for the planning of your party. The venue should be the first on your list to book.

important. Look for packaging, ask if they have any promotions and if they could lower the prices if you choose all the services they offer.

Second you must already have an idea of what you want the theme to be. With your theme picked out, decide if you want an indoor or outdoor quince, and yes you can have an outdoors quince.

Most venues have photographers, floral arrangements, and even offer a party planner.

• Make sure you do your homework and ask questions. • By asking questions, you can determine if the venue provides good costumer service and are interested in actually making your party a successful one. • If you see unorganized managers/owners run away they will not care if last minute have a crisis and need their help.

So be smart Ladies and remember you are the consumer so go for what you want and get it.

No matter where your from we all have traditions. Whether you are Mexican, Colombian, Cuban, etc. We all have them. As a latin community we follow many different traditions for example; The replacement of the shoe, the last doll, and many more. Tradition is something you always want to keep, it represents who you are and where you came from. Although tradition can be boring and outdated, when doing it correctly it can be appreciated by your friends and family.

We have so many traditions to choose from, so how can you make sure you choose the right one?

Well it’s easy! Your first step is to research all the traditions out there, by doing so you will have an idea of what you want to do and what fits your style. Then, write down the top 5. Writing five down can help you choose the one that you like and by narrowing the possibilities it becomes a little easier. After, sit down with your parents and discus the one that suits you best. Trust your parents they always know best. Finally, ask your mother, aunts, and grandmother which tradition they decided to show at their quinceanera, that should help you make your decision easier. One of my favorites and the one

that never fails is the father/mother daughter dance, that one is always a tear breaker. You want to make sure the tradition your showing brings something special and memorable, because after all you only turn fifteen once. Also don’t be afraid of sincerity, after all everyone loves a good show. Although tradition is something we need to make our quince special you also need innovation, something new or different. Think about been original and unique find ways to make your quince different fresh and new.

Being unique does not mean remaking something. It simply means to change something and making it your own. We all have different styles and attitudes so why not make a quince like you. The little changes is what’s going to make your party original, from the smallest things like the flowers, to the dress, and more. However some people may disagree with me on bringing new elements to the party, but even so new always bring excitement. You don’t always want to be a follower be a leader. So have fun and don’t be afraid of change.

start with Party busses. If you are miss glam and you have a large court party busses are perfect for you. You want to make sure your court is comfortable and has fun, after all they did work hard practicing all that time. So they should at least have fun on the bus. But what if you just want to make a great entrance? Well then we go for the luxury cars.

It may

seem that limos are the coolest most popular cars to drive on the day of your quince, but why not go for something a little more exciting.

Who wants a normal vanilla cake when

you can have a red velvet, chocolate passion fruit, or strawberries and cream cake.

Currently we have so many different flavors that you can use on cakes, so why go for boring old vanilla. When you could have a delicious chocolate with buttercream, and have your guest drooling over your cake all night.

But why limit your self to just a cake? why not a cupcake? Cupcakes are great substitutes for cakes, they have individual servings and can give your party that original WOW! factor you want.

NOW ON TO MY FAVORITE, the type of cake. The way you can determine what kind of cake to go with, is asking your self these questions. Do I want to have a cake at the ceremony? If yes, go with a normal but fabulous cake. If no and you want to have more than three flavors on a cake, Then cupcakes are your best bet.

Remember the possibilities are endless with a little creativity your cake design or cupcakes can become a delicious dream come true. Visit:

for more ideas on cake design. And remember always be original.

What

career fits you

Every year thousands of students graduate from the university and head for a professional career. As you are deciding about what you will be doing in life, the critical step is to decide upon what type of a career is good for you. In other words, what are YOU suitable to? A number of studies with students demonstrate that many students experience lack of information, conflict, and decision taking worries about profession selection. Many exhibit a negative attitude, feel under-qualified and assume a fatalist position.” I do not even know what I want to do- I will be never be able to do what I really want- I will not be succesfull in this field- It is so difficult to get the job I want, one needs to know the right people for it”. Thoughts like these will have a negative impact on you, they will stop you from taking an initiative and starting and action.

This next trend is more for after the quince or if you have 2 dresses. The trend is TRASH THE DRESS! Yes you read right TRASH! When

I saw this trend I couldn’t believe it, but after I saw all the pictures I was wowed! The way this works is if you have two dresses decide which one to trash. You want to do things that relate to who you are and what you like. But if you don’t have two dresses then trashing it after the quince could be a memorable experience that you will remember for years to come.

I’m not talking about literary going to the trash can and trashing it, but doing things you never thought about doing with your dress on.

For example horse back riding, going to TIP the FOR beach, painting, YOUR TRASH THE playing aDRESS sport,PHOTOSHOOT: swimming, and so much more... Your photographer must be very creative. He will produce the 80% of the picture. You and your braveness will do the rest.

Want to see how this Trash the Dress session was made? Scan the barcode with your smart phone...and see the behind the scenes...
