Hi, I’m Janene!

I’m a nationally recognized beauty and lifestyle editor with over 23 years of experience in the industry. I’ve written for some of the most respected publications out there—Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Health, SELF, USA Today, The Washington Post, and Women’s Health, just to name a few. For over a decade, I was Beauty Director at BELLA Magazine, where I helped redefine modern beauty with stories that celebrated real people, real life, and real confidence.

I also served as Editorial Director for a global beauty brand, where I led the copy and content team across everything from product launches and packaging to social media and influencer campaigns. From concept to content to camera, I know how to bring brand storytelling to life in a way that truly connects.

Now, I’m the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Beautifyit.com—a digital destination I created to help inspire everyone to live their best life. Not just to anti their age, but to beautify it. It’s all about confidence, empowerment, and joyful self-expression at every stage, with beauty and wellness coverage that’s as aspirational as it is attainable.

You might’ve seen me on your favorite social media platforms, on live daytime TV segments, hosting a masterclass, or heard me on your favorite podcast—I love sharing my favorite finds and face-forward philosophies with warmth, wit, and a little wink. Whether I’m testing the latest TikTok trend, dropping skincare truth bombs, or spotlighting beauty brands I think deserve more love, my goal is always the same: to help everyone feel seen, celebrated, and beautifully themselves.
