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!

Missing the sand, sea, and sun. ☀️ Been feelin Missing the sand, sea, and sun. ☀️ Been feeling under the weather since Wednesday—not sure who got who sick, but the perks of getting sick together: staying in and trying to get better together! 💜

The ash fall is making me a little paranoid. Thank The ash fall is making me a little paranoid. Thankful that we were allowed to work from home today. If you suffer from asthma and allergic rhinitis like me (plus have pets at home), swipe to see the two things that have kept me asthma-free for years (allergic rhinitis, I still get once in a while—but it’s not as bad as before). . 1. Sharp Air Purifier Model FZ-F40SFE - my parents bought this for me because I’m super sickly, plus I have Booboo and Bella. Since getting this, I no longer need maintenance nor use emergency inhalers for my asthma. 2. Young Living Dewdrop Diffuser - This functions as a humidifier, atomiser, and aroma diffuser in one. I use Lavender Essential Oil since it’s safe for pets, and it helps ease stress and anxiety. . Been using these two since last night, and so far it’s been really helpful. Hope everyone is safe and okay! 🙏🏻
