if we try, it's good enough.

Hi Tumblr, It's been a long time... I just want to update you with my life so I can read this in the future... Last week I lost my sweetest baby girl, Lily... She was turning 10 in a few weeks, but she got sick, which ended up giving her onumonia and it was too late to save her.... The signs of her sickness started showing around January of this year, when she randomly puked, which resulted in her weight loss... she weighed 16 lbs last year and lost around 2 lbs... I tried to bring her to the vet earlier, but the vet didn't focus too much on her puking.... we tried to change her diet, and it worked for a little bit... For 2 weeks, she stayed at a family friend's place as my mom, and I went on a short vacation... when we came back, we noticed that Lily had lost weight, and our family friend mentioned that she barely ate due to her anxiety... When we got back, she went back to her normal day-to-day life... she played, ran, barked, and ate her treats... A couple of weeks later, she started vomiting a lot and stopped eating.... In her last night, she puked a huge amount of gastric liquid as she didnt eat all day... at the time I was thinking of bringing her to the ER but she showed signs that she can wait as she started jumping off the couch and jumpled on my bed to rest.... when I woke up that morning I noticed that she was awake laying down but she was covered in puked and was unresponsive.... I called my mom right away to help me bring her to the ER, where she again started acting normal but was breathing too fast and was diagnosed with pneumonia.... later that day she puked up blood and the vet recommended to end her suffering as she was already 9 and there was a huge chance that we're just trying to prolong the inevitable... On Wednesday at 11:45PM, Lily left us... the sweetest little dog that was always excited to see me.... I've raised her all her life... I trained her to be well behaved and gave her treats and all the pets she wanted.... I'm gonna miss her laying on my chest when she wakes up to wake me up for work... Im going to miss walking her and bring her to the dog park where she sits in front of me when she wants to go home... Im going to miss all the car rides where she's just staring at me the whole time while sitting on the passenger seat... I miss you, Lily... I love you.... I'll see you one day, ok... be a good girl up there...

My friend planning to start a sanitation business and showed me a few designs for his brand’s packaging that was created by a freelancer. One bad thing is that he already spent way too much money on a designer who has poor design practice and unorganized. I offerred my friend that I can help him alter and salvage the initial design to save money and showed him a rough draft of how I would approach this problem. My approach for this update is simple. I got rid of the unneccesary details that is confusing and just plain random. I rent with a more minimalist approach and utilize colors as visual aids to identify different variants of the product. As shown above, this is the Pear and Freesia scent of this hand sanitizer. To be honest, I have no idea what freesia is but I like the Umber color of the initial design. I also used contrast as a divider to help break the design and not make it monotone.
