\nFor Latinas, a quincea\u00f1era is important because it\u2019s the stage where she goes from being a girl to a woman. In my case, it took us two years to plan my quincea\u00f1era, sometimes it takes more or less time, depending on each family because you have to plan for both the mass and the party. Since I was 11 years old, I was already thinking about my quincea\u00f1era. For young women, it\u2019s a very beautiful thing and a moment that I will never forget. After my celebration, I felt different, like something had changed in me. I had entered a new stage in life, and for me it was the most beautiful of all. I chose my theme because it\u2019s very related to horses and that is reflective of my Mexico. I didn\u2019t want something very elegant. I really like the ranchero lifestyle more than anything. It reflects my taste, and my country that is Mexico.[\/su_box]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
