#40mg

6/30/2020

Size: 34” - 43” = 34i

Dose: 40 mg

Goal: “L” cup

Today was a good day, I made a lot of progress with lactation and I couldn’t be happier. I’m eating a good serving of oatmeal topped with some almonds every other day and there is a definite change. I have also cut out drinking coffee, I use to drink about a cup everyday, but now it’s about once every other week. I’m surprised I don’t miss coffee as much. I actually replaced it with a herbal black tea, and I feel even better :) 

Besides eating a bit healthier, I also like to include some exercises that also help strengthen the my chest muscles. If I’m planning to carry all of the weight that is in an “L” cup, I gotta make sure my muscles can handle it lol. Overall, I’m just happy that I’m making progress and now I’m just 3 cups away, from reaching my goal.

Monster Energy Ultra Paradise 500ml - 30mg / 100ml Can manufactured by Ball

This can irked me for a little while at first because it breaks from the rest of the Monster Ultra cans with colour-based names, but having done some research this is not the first can to do so. I need to find or purchase the others to complete my collection but there’s also a “Citron” and “Fiesta” can as well.

This can leaves behind the more abstract artwork of its siblings in favour of an island scene complete with cove, sun loungers under a parasol, waving palm trees, footsteps on the sand, mountains off on the distance and a friendly shark swimming around the in the sea! Paradise indeed!

Where is paradise? A chalet on the slopes, a streamside ranch or a penthouse in the city? How about a private island with a white and beach, turquoise water and a gentle tropical breeze? Monster Ultra Paradise, pure, crisp, invigorating island flavours. Kick back and enjoy. Paradise is wherever you can find it. Unleash the Ultra Beast!

Power Energy Shot Energy Drink Can 250ml - 40mg / 100ml Can manufactured by Ardagh

I kind of like this can. I think it’s designed to look sort of like a battery which I know is a trope that’s been done a number of times for energy drink can, I even do the electrical energy motif with the lightning in this very website’s header image. I think this is the most languages I’ve seen on one can being quadrilingual making the info text quite small and I think that somewhat helps the graphic design, causing the text to almost disappear to a casual eye. I’m not really sure what the double-W in the middle of the name is for and whether I should have labelled this as “Powwer Energy Shot” but I think it’s trying to convey energy with both the pattern and the bold points of the double-W. The scratches around the rest of the word are part of the design, not damage to the can and add to a sort of video-game asset feel to this can. One last point I like is the “High Caffeine Level” warning stylised as a high voltage warning with is a nice touch.
