FAQ

BLOG ETC.

Why "Being Little." ?

I'm quite little and have had many nicknames revolving around this fact - Little Lyzi, Lil, Little Legs, Little Head.. etc. The blog is about my life and what it's like to be me. I also wanted it to have an innocent, childlike feel to it.

Can I put an ad on your blog?

Yes. All information on advertising can be found here!.

What camera do you use?

I use a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, and occasionally the camera on my phone or iPad. You can read more about how I take and edit my images here.

Do you sell any of your handmade things?

Yes, I sometimes sell handmade things in the Being Little Shop.

Why BigCartel and not Etsy?

I made this choice based on price and the fact that BigCartel can be customised more. I wanted a specific look for my shop.

Why is your shop still under construction?
I apologise for the Being Little Shop being out of action since just before Christmas! I'm working on building up a little more stock before re-opening in the Spring.

APPEARANCE.

How tall are you?

5'2" -ish.

What size clothing do you wear?

In most shops, I am a size 10. However I usually wear whatever size looks best on me, and that can range from a size 8 to a size 12. I also wear men's t-shirts and cardigans, and occasionally sweatshirts and hoodies from kids' sections! My feet are size 3.

Where do you shop?

Anywhere that has a bargain. I very rarely buy an item of clothing which costs more than £20. Charity shops, vintage shops, markets and sale rails are my favourite! I also shop at high street stores, my favourites being Topshop, H&M and Primark.

How big are your flesh tunnels?

16mm

What tattoos do you have?

A cupcake behind my right ear, 2 cats on my back, a moon on my left wrist, "devon pride" across my toes, and another kitty, a moustache and a padlock on my bicep, a banner reading "let go." on my right wrist. You can read more about my tattoos here.

PERSONAL.

Where do you live?

I live in Bristol with some lovely ladies.

How old are you?

I'm 24 years young (I don't look it or feel it!)

Do you have a job?

Currently, I don't have a proper job, no. My illness makes me unreliable for most types of employment, although I am getting there. I'm currently a volunteer at a local arts club, doing social media and hopefully some events planning and promotion too.

What did you study at uni?
I studied illustration at UWE (Bristol), but had to leave after a year and a half due to illness.

What illness do you suffer from?

I'll try and condense this answer as much as possible! In 2009 I was diagnosed with ME/CFS and was told there was no cure, and I'd just have to rest and wait it out and hope that I got better. More recently, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, am on medication and have been making improvements. I have also suffered from depression and anxiety.

What treatment have you had?

I don't really want to discuss all my medication details on the internet, but if you're suffering from the same/similar things and want to know my experience, feel free to email me at beinglittle@hotmail.co.uk. I also had Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with my anxiety, and have found it one of the most useful things I've EVER done. Again, if you'd like to know my personal experience of it, email away!

What are your cats called?

The cats are called El Hefe, Phoebe, and Kimiko.

Who is this Doug guy?
My other half, the love of my life, the most wonderful human that I've ever had the good fortune to meet. It breaks my heart that he's going travelling for a year, but I'll be waiting for him when he gets home. 

If you have a question that I haven't answered here, just email me at beinglittle@hotmail.co.uk and I'll be happy to answer it for you! (...within reason)
