Jamie Gellor–A Multihyphenate at the Intersection of Business, Beauty, and Wellness

With a natural eye for opportunity and a deep-rooted sense of legacy, Jamie Marie Gellor wears multiple hats with effortless grace. She serves as the Chief Financial Officer of JM Farms, her family’s third-generation livestock enterprise—a role that bridges heritage with forward-thinking leadership.

In 2020, she expanded her footprint into the world of fashion and beauty as co-owner of The Ninérita, a sourcing company known for its curated finds and global sensibility. The venture reflects Jamie’s flair for style and her keen understanding of market movement.

Most recently, in a bold step into the wellness space, she was appointed Executive Director of Feel Great Philippines, a health and wellness company she co-founded with longtime friend and entrepreneur Cristalle Belo-Pitt. The brand champions a holistic, feel-good lifestyle grounded in science and self-care—an ethos Jamie both leads and lives.

What is it that you love in your work?
It’s my life history bundled into my current schedule! I grew up in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, so being with horses and nature is something that grounds me and reminds me of my heritage. Meanwhile, doing beauty and wellness just feeds my feminine energy.

Feel Great, most importantly, helps me mentor other women—not just in taking their health back, but in building confidence physically, mentally, and financially. Cristalle and I have fostered a wonderful community of women through this venture.

How many hours of sleep do you require?
Six to eight, undisputed. But I can do with six. Having four kids teaches you how to run your day on limited sleep. I also try to squeeze in movement—whether it’s gym, tennis, or horseback riding—so waking up early is a must.

What skincare product can you not be without?
Two essentials: Belo SunExpert Transparent Mist—perfect for reapplication—and Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum, which soothes me at the end of the day.

What kind of timepiece do you wear?
Omega Constellation.

Is there a single piece of jewelry you truly treasure?
My engagement ring. It’s a simple emerald cut—and I love it that way.

Best dining experience? (Could be at a dinner party or a world-class restaurant)
At Mama Lyn Gamboa’s house in Bacolod. Another favorite is Girafe in Trocadéro, Paris.

Who is your favorite fashion designer?
Everything Chanel—so Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard. Recently, I’ve been loving Jonathan Anderson and what he’s done with Loewe. I’m excited to see what he brings to Dior.

Have you pondered on a piece of art lately?

What television series are you watching now?
I haven’t had much time for binge-watching, but I (regretfully) watched Adolescence last weekend. It was heavy—I kept thinking of my boys and the pressures of growing into manhood. I do plan to watch Cunk on Life next, just to keep things light.

All from the same book, A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway once wrote:
“Work could cure almost anything, I believed then, and I believe now,”
and later added,
“The seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life, the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.”

So, best not forget to glide with a little humor—even when fulfilling such important roles in career and life.

Ethan Andre H. Gomez: Turning One’s Body into a Canvas to Create Specific Marketable Tools

Ethan Andre H. Gomez, 20 years old and a second-year student in Business Management at De La Salle University Taft, wanted to be a model since he was 15 years old. He felt that he was so unattractive that his ultimate goal in life was modeling—because in his mind, no one thought it was even possible. Contrary to Andre’s misconception of himself, he is now currently a model under Avenir Management in Manila, Philippines, proof of a reversal of fortune.

Golden Rum by Scentsmith or a coffee-scented body oil. I don’t like traditional men’s fragrances; I find that the alcohol content is too strong for my nose.

What is your favorite travel destination?
Hmm, I would say Hong Kong. It has layers of neon lights against the mountains, tradition beside glass towers. Hong Kong feels like walking through a film set that’s constantly evolving. I find that very inspiring.

What restaurant do you frequent?
Chicken HaHa. It’s pretty unhealthy, but I combine it with salads—a lot. Abroad, I try to make sure I don’t try the same place twice. It’s always good to discover.

It’s the opportunity to meet people. Every conversation is a chance to learn something new, and every experience can be shared with others. I enjoy connecting with people and passing along insight that might help in someone else’s life journey.

Are there any writers, spiritual thinkers, or creatives who have helped shape the way you think?

I have followed a number of life coaches who have influenced me, like Dr. Shefali Tsabary, David Ghyam, and Matthew Hussey. I deeply honor my personal life coach, Paraluman Patalinghug Datta, a Cebuana now based in India. That guidance truly changed my life.

What’s your soundtrack like?

One artist I hope to see live someday is Adele, but at heart I’m an old soul. I love the timeless music of Frank Sinatra. Two years ago, when I travelled to Nashville, I made sure to visit a Sinatra bar and lounge that featured live performances of his repertoire. Sitting there and listening to those classics being sung by other artists was absolute heaven!

American singer and actor Frank Sinatra is regarded as one of the most influential entertainers of the 20th century.

Is there a line from literature or a podcast that often plays in your mind?

When you change your internal beliefs and thoughts, your external reality begins to shift as well. This idea resonated while I was listening to LoveAgainJen, whose core message is, “learn to love yourself.”

Is there a piece of jewellery or accessory that you cannot leave the house with?

I love designer bags. I admit it proudly — I’m very much a Prada and Louis Vuitton kind of girl. A good bag completes the outfit and gives me the confidence to take on the day.

Pukot is a Cebuano term meaning to catch fish through a netting.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Perfect happiness is about gratitude in the present moment. Happiness itself can be fleeting because it’s often tied to circumstances; however, if you cultivate contentment, meaning, and gratitude, these moments transform into genuine joy. I find joy in spending time with my children, in being able to find blessings through life coaching, mentoring, and sharing my personal journey.

What’s your music playlist like?
A bit of a mess, honestly. It jumps across genres randomly. Spotify informed me that my listening age is that of a 65-year-old, if that says anything at all.

Is there a soundtrack you are listening to now?
Currently listening to Dian’s Moonbow Disco. We happened to catch the artist at SomSoc Gallery in Tokyo last December 2025, and we were lucky enough to have an autograph.

Perfect happiness is hard to quantify. Happiness is nuanced and layered. It could be a bowl of soup or a kiss on the cheek tomorrow.
