Hello Besties,

Welcome to another episode of the HOT MESS PODCAST.

J.L. starts by filling you in on her weekend where she got a new washer, gutted her basement and office, splurged on books, and found new motivation to make her writing career pop off.

The main topic for this episode is the cultural importance of Quinceañeras.

July 4th Bad Bunny had the audacity to release a beautiful video for his song "NuevaYol".

In it we get a glimpse inside the very important quinceañera party.

Quinceañeras are a right of passage for a girl turning 15. It marks their transition from girlhood to womanhood. Traditions range from having a mass church ceremony, to having a shoe changing ceremony, blessing of the shoes, and lets not forget one giant party.

It's like a wedding!

J.L. reflects on her own party and the what an important moment it was for her and her family.

Please share your experiences participating in or attending Quinceañeras or Sweet 16's.
