A Note from Me
OMGSH HIIIII!!! 😍 It’s so nice to meet you! I’m so excited that you are here. Okay, first thing’s first: My name is Graciella (grah-see-ella), NOT DIZZY SPANGLE! 🤣 I want to clear this up so there’s no confusion. Dizzy Spangle is just the name of my blog, although having the name “Dizzy” as a first name would be pretty awesome, not gonna lie! 😋
Back in 2014, I originally started DizzySpangle.com as a platform to interview others about their passions in life along with their style. As I continued to develop my platform, I was encouraged to share more of my own interests. To my surprise, people actually enjoyed reading what I shared about my life, so I decided to turn Dizzy Spangle into a blog about some of my big passions — faith, beauty, fashion, and food!
Through sharing my “Beauty Picks & Tricks” of the moment, and featuring my favorite “Las Vegas Eats”, my blog has grown into a cultivated place where I feel truly connected with you all.
With my big love for Jesus Christ, and I thought that deserved it’s own online presence. So I created an extension brand called @StayKingdomMinded where I write encouraging stories of God's radical goodness to help inspire others to stay kingdom minded through life's ups & downs!
If you asked me why I write and create content, it’s because I want to inspire others. God created me for a purpose, and as I continue to venture through life, I know in my heart having an online presence is part of the journey.
It's been such an incredible blessing sharing my life on here and I’m forever grateful that I get to do what I love! I hope being here inspires you in some way! XO 🌀✨
