A spin on Athena

I am weakened.

I went for my boxing trial today thinking I could take it. All I had today was my pill, an apple and a slice of watermelon. And I almost bloody fainted in training.

I was utterly disappointed in myself. As if that's not enough, I fumbled when I was speaking to the trainer as she tried to understand why I called stop in the middle of the session.

What do I say? I am a vain little prick who had a banned diet suppressant for the past week and am running on borrowed energy from my future? 

My face is losing color.

My heart races every time I take the pill.

My fingers turn to ice and tremble uncontrollably for three hours after.

The only thing cheering me up is what greeted me at the scale:

40.6 kg.

I'm so close.

Don't let me die here.

Some time ago, Althea Korea dropped me a fluffy email.

A lively exchange later, they offered me a beta account on their website here: http://sg.althea.kr/. I was offered an amount to spend and I didn't know what to get, so my mum happily picked out the entire box hahaha.

And within a week, it arrived!

In fact, I think it was 4 days after confirming my order.

I remember coming home from a night at Gabriel's to see the pinkest, most delightful little box on my table. Yes I probably should've taken a photo first but I was so freakin', I tore through the packaging and opened my pink box!











There were more things but they're small so they fell into the ravine when I tilted the box for a photo. Yes I should have just taken a photo of the box's content. No I will not because my vanity will not be tamed. My face must be everywhere.

But look at how pretty it is!

I showed it to my mum later that night and she immediately unboxed all the products and fawned over them.

Her favorite of the lot is Skinfood's Pore Fit Cushion Bottle. She picked Natural Skin for herself. My skin tone is much darker than hers so I ignored that product and went straight to the Elizavecca's Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask!

I believe in time, Althea will be the Zalora of the beauty world. Why shop locally when you can get your beauty needs fulfilled straight from the land of unreachable beauty, South Korea? With free shipping for orders over S$50 no less.

Be pretty.

Be South Korea pretty.
