Our Story

blinger®  came to Angie Cella in a dream. She transformed her vision into a unique and patented hair gem bedazzler. blinger® has debuted on television, in celebrity circles, and is found in stores around the world.

blinger® Started with a Dream

One night, Angie Cella, a single mom of four, dreamed about a device that put gems in her hair. She woke up the next morning in love with the idea and believed she could invent it. A few weeks later, she had a second dream. In this one, God told her, “I want you to make this product.” What followed was a long and arduous journey. She hired four different engineering firms over four years, and none of them could produce a viable prototype. But she kept going, even with all the letdowns, and failed attempts, determined to answer the call God had put on her heart. Ultimately, after hiring her fifth engineering firm with the last of her money, she had a working prototype similar to the device we have today. Nonetheless, she had used all her savings, was maxed out in debt, and had been rejected by every investor she had approached.

The only way to bring her product to market would be to make one more and pretty big sacrifice, but this would be too large to not make sure her children were on board. She gathered them all in the kitchen and asked, “What if we sell the house and I’ll build the [manufacturing] tool myself in China? We’ll just live in an apartment for a year or two. What do you think?” They all looked at her with blank stares, and then her oldest, Cambria, said, “You’ve got to do it Mom.” That’s all she needed to hear. Within a couple months, Angie had sold their home, half their belongings, rented a townhome, and begun manufacturing blinger®.

Five months later, in October 2018, she took blinger® to Dallas Toy Fair and the Women in Toys event in Texas, where she had the opportunity to present her product to Walmart. By the end of the first day, it was a hit. blinger® has now been distributed all over the world.

A note from Angie…

Most of the journey was tough, so much so, I thought God had made His first mistake in choosing me. But I kept going, even when it was really hard. Everyone asks me now how I persevered, and my answer is because I really just couldn’t quit – it was simply something I had to finish. Plus, with God as my business partner, I knew it had to work out eventually. After all, there is no obstacle too big for Him.

“All things are possible to the person who believes.”
~ Jesus, Mark 9:23

I'm happy and excited, but also very humbled, with the launch of blinger® for women. It's amazing to be here finally, bringing the full vision of my product, my dream, to life. I want girls and women of all ages to shine brightly and to feel confident in who God created them to be. Our motto is to "Brighten Lives" and that's what I hope we do. Thank you for being apart of my journey, and my dream!
