About The Blogger

My name is Tammy and I've been blogging for over a decade now. I work full-time in my dream company while juggling love, life, this cute blog and a blogger's community called The Butterfly Project. People often tell me that I'm a wonder woman, but in reality - if it's something you love, you can do wonders.

When I'm not wondering, I'll be on my computer searching for the next fountain of youth or hunting down a fantastic deal. I'm also a shopaholic, wanderluster, spa enthusiast and proud hipster who loves planning special occasions and surprises for her loved ones.

jeng jeng jeng!!! Althea won an award!!!

I thought I just selambar update about my life on my blog today about my company Althea Korea where I started working in May, 2015 after my Korean trip where I met up with my old boss from Living Social Malaysia. Yeah who knew our lunch meeting would turned into me landing another crazy adventure with another startup.

Launched not long ago, Althea Korea became quite popular thanks to my boss's idea of bridging the gap on Korean Beauty in South East Asia. You know how Air Asia's tagline is Everyone can fly now? With Althea Korea, everyone can shop now. In short, you don't need to fly to Korea to do your beauty hauls anymore because Althea Korea will be the one stop gateway for all things related to K-Beauty. Be it popular products, K-Beauty trends, Korean beauty products not easily found or not found in Malaysia. With it's price bonus, free shipping for over RM150 purchase, 30 days unconditional refunds (not happy ke, apa ke, email help@althea.kr) and of course, guarantee to be authentic (everyone worry they buy fake goods online, especially when goods comes with attractive price).

4 months into the Malaysian market and we have already receive an award recognition from Multimedia Development Corporation (MDEC). My boss flew from Korea to Kuala Lumpur to attend the award ceremony with me tagging along as his assistant. He became a celebrity overnight, beaming with happiness and smiles. I am proud to be working under him and given the opportunity to pursue my passion under Althea.

Althea Korea started with Malaysia as the first SEA country to launch and by 2016, we will be expanding to 6 more countries in SEA (omg? how can I tahan? 6 countries). Our fans calls it the Althea Fever. It's catching on and it's viral. There might be no cure *warning*.
