By: Julia AlvarezFinalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, a “phenomenal, indispensable” (USA Today) exploration of the Latina “sweet fifteen” celebration, by the bestselling author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents and In the Time of the Butterflies.
The quinceañera, a celebration of a Latina girl’s fifteenth birthday, has become a uniquely American trend. This lavish party with ball gowns, multi-tiered cakes, limousines, and extravagant meals is often as costly as a prom or a wedding. But many Latina girls feel entitled to this rite of passage, marking a girl’s entrance into womanhood, and expect no expense to be spared, even in working-class families.
Acclaimed author Julia Alvarez explores the history and cultural significance of the “quince” in the United States, and the consequences of treating teens like princesses. Through her observations of a quince in Queens, interviews with other quince girls, and the memories of her own experience as a young immigrant, Alvarez presents a thoughtful and entertaining portrait of a rapidly growing multicultural phenomenon, and passionately emphasizes the importance of celebrating Latina womanhood.

Great Tasting and Already to GO!!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
As someone who’s into fitness, I was looking for a tasty protein shake that I could grab on the go, and the Core Power High Protein Milk Shakes have become my favorite. This is the chocolate flavor, 14 fl oz bottles, and they come in a case of 12. Each bottle packs 26g of protein which is perfect for recovery after a workout or even as a meal supplement if I’m in a rush. What sets Core Power apart for me is the taste and texture – the chocolate flavor is rich and creamy, not chalky or overly sweet like some other RTD shakes. It’s like drinking a chocolate milk, honestly. I also like that it’s made with real milk (ultra-filtered lowfat milk), so it contains natural high-quality protein (both whey and casein) and it also has a good amount of calcium. It’s not just a thin water-based shake; it feels more satisfying and indulgent. Despite the creaminess, it’s actually low fat and doesn’t sit heavy in my stomach. I usually chill them in the fridge and it’s a nice cold treat post-gym. They’re lactose-free (the ultra-filtering removes lactose, I believe), which is great because I’m a bit lactose sensitive and I’ve had zero issues digesting these. Each bottle also has around 170 calories and they are pretty low in added sugar compared to some other brands – plus the 26g of protein per bottle is a solid dose. I find it keeps me full for a decent amount of time. The convenience is top-notch; I keep a couple in my gym bag (they’re shelf-stable until opened) and a bunch in the fridge. The 12 pack usually lasts me a couple of weeks if I’m doing one a day after workouts. It’s also a lifesaver for those mornings I don’t have time for breakfast – I can just drink one of these and know I’ve gotten protein and some nutrients in. All in all, Core Power Chocolate is delicious and effective. It feels like a treat but is fueling my body with what it needs. I’ve tried many protein shakes and this one is by far the best tasting and easiest on the stomach. Highly recommend for athletes, gym-goers, or anyone wanting a protein boost with great taste.

Good taste, convenient
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I’m not the biggest fan of protein shakes but find these to be quite good. My dietitian recommended them as a convenient option for snacks or days when I need something quick I can grab. These hit the spot on those busy meeting days and keep me energized and full til my next meal.

Is this a meal replacement or a chocolate shake?
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
By far my favorite meal replacement shake! Delicious like a chocolate shake! Chock full of protein and other essential ingredients for a healthy meal. I like the vanilla one but by far chocolate is my favorite. Very smooth and can probably mix with other supplements, it goes down easy. You can also take it with you on the go!

Tastes great!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Multiple times re-ordering, this is a great tasting drink. That is quick and easy to grab for everybody in the house. Full of protein taste great and healthy. Makes me feel good. Having even the kids grab one on their way out the door if they are missing a meal or need a quick snack or pick me up before sports we currently need to re-order so I don’t have any pictures to post but if you’re thinking about it I would get them .

Fresh, Creamy, and Perfectly Ripened!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
These Hass avocados were excellent quality and arrived fresh with great texture and flavor. They ripened evenly, had creamy smooth insides, and no brown spots or stringy texture like you sometimes get with other avocados.
Perfect for avocado toast, guacamole, salads, or just slicing onto sandwiches. The size was great, and they stayed fresh for several days after ripening. Definitely one of the better avocado purchases I’ve made — I’ll be buying these again!
