I may be small, but I’ve got a big job—keeping hearts like yours company through the slow beats, the quiet moments, and all the days that feel too heavy.

I was stitched together from lived experience—bradycardia, low oxygen, hospital stays, and days where just getting out of bed felt like a full-time job. My creator, Kimmie, has a failing heart and a fighting spirit. She made me so I could speak the words she didn’t always have the energy to say.

I carry oxygen on my back and wear band-aids on my seams.

I’ve been tired for a long time—but I’ve never stopped loving.

And even when I’m resting, I’m still showing up.

I’m here for:

• Spoonies and slow-pulse sweethearts

• Fighters who don’t want to be called strong all the time

• People with ports, patches, pacemakers, and perfectly imperfect rhythms

• Anyone who’s just… tired, but still here

This little shop is my home. It’s where I share my story—through stickers, tees, comfort merch, and soft reminders that rest is brave too. Everything here is made with love, truth, and a touch of kawaii chaos.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your struggle, misunderstood in your slowness, or alone in your fight—I see you.

Let’s beat on, softly but boldly.

Love,

Lil’ Cardi 💗

💓 Lil’ Cardi’s 3 Truths to Beat By:

1. Rest is Resistance.

Lying down isn’t giving up—it’s gathering strength.

2. Feelings are Valid, Even the Hard Ones.

Tired? Angry? Overwhelmed? Let it out. You’re not a robot. You’re a heart.

3. You’re Still Beating, and That Matters.

No matter the pace. No matter the rhythm. You’re still here, and that’s beautiful.
