Greta’s Junkyard by Gretchen Gatan

My name is Gretchen Gatan, and I’m a Beauty and Lifestyle Blogger, Managing Director for a content marketing agency, Managing Editor for an online beauty magazine and shop, and Makeup Artist from Metro Manila, Philippines.

Writing is my passion, and this blog serves as a creative outlet where I can write about all things beauty and lifestyle—and occasionally my random thoughts and tantrums. Greta’s Junkyard is literally a dump site of my favorite things!

Instagram post 2181284006851399793_3706206 Can’t share enough how excited I am to blitz our way to a healthier diet. Now that I run my own little kitchen, I’m also in charge of choosing what our menu will be for the week. On top of replacing rice with quinoa and trying to lessen our consumption of canned/processed food, I can’t wait to make smoothies using this newest addition from @jmlphilippines—their Nutri Blitzer! It’s an 11-piece set with a 160-page recipe guide that makes delicious and nutritious smoothies in seconds. 😍 Because of its cyclonic vortex, it liquefies everything! No need to peel, remove seeds, or de-stem ingredients. Just wash them and add them straight to the cup! . What smoothies do you guys like to make? Would love to know your recipes! Share them in the comments, please! 😊 #GretasJunkyard #NutriBlitzer
Instagram post 2180582243672421573_3706206 Wrote a new blog post last night about our mini-moon in #ElNido. ✨ Head on over to #GretasJunkyard.com. 💜👩🏻‍💻 . #GretasJunkyardAdventures #CayoNaNiGretch
Instagram post 2179852958342860207_3706206 Booboo’s 9th Birthday Party ⭐️ . Celebrated the floof that lights up my life last weekend with family and family doggos. 😁 Thank you to everyone who spoiled @booboogfragada with lots of treats (shout out to Fatty, Sushi, Leo, @motchitheporgi, @karinabernert, and @pettercareph)! 😍 #BoobooFraggyBirthday
Instagram post 2179619247957559724_3706206 Haven’t been in the best mood and state of mind at work since last week, and I’m really glad I got to spend the weekend with our families (the Fragatans!) to recharge. Not to mention—these two will always brighten any gloomy day. 💜 I still keep going through their photos by @petsnapsph. 😍 Get 10% off when you visit them at @tiendesitasph and use my code GRETCHG10.
Instagram post 2176992065309511734_3706206 Sometimes, you’ll feel belittled. Everything that you thought you were good at can be questioned, which may push you to give up. . But even if there are people who can’t see the value, there are those who do. So—just stay centered and breathe. Use it for motivation instead. 🌺
Instagram post 2176166356446083972_3706206 Tamad Chic on this blah day. 😶 Can’t wait to eat dinner in front of the TV with my Fraggy Four Fam, marathon Modern Family, pig out on buko + avocado ice cream, and maybe just maybe go to the gym. 🙍🏻‍♀️
Instagram post 2175860511153773153_3706206 Two months of: . “Carry Bella, I’ll take Booboo.” “Will fold the clean laundry. Can you wash the dishes?” “Hey, want to watch Big Bang Theory?” “Let’s order from GrabFood/Food Panda so you don’t have to cook?” . We’re slowly but surely adjusting to our new roles as husband and wife. 💜 But we’re handling everything the way we always do—like Ultimate Frisbee teammates/co-captains who strategize together and communicate. I appreciate the small gestures you do/have done like making the unit a smart home so it’s easier to monitor Booboo and Bellatrix, fixing our bed every morning while I bring Booboo downstairs for his potty time, washing the dishes while I cook, vacuuming and mopping the whole unit while I deep clean the bathroom, being extra magical with Bellatrix, and doing whatever it takes to make sure we (Booboo, Bellatrix, and I 😂) are always happy, safe, and well-taken care of. 😁💜 . Thank you for being the head of this marriage, while I continue to be the heart (as Bishop Soc told us during his special homily). 💜 #CayoNaNiGretch 📷: @nicolaimelicor
Instagram post 2174736729798156071_3706206 Can never post too much Booboo content. 🤘🏻💜 Will also try to shoot more Cayo and Bellatrix content. 🤣🤣🤣 #BoobooFraggyBirthday
