Do you know what happens when you stop waiting for permission? You do something impulsive like creating your own beauty and book club.
I’ve covered so many celebrity versions in the past — think Reese Witherspoon and Jenna Bush Hager — that I’m ready to devote time to my own.
Keep scrolling to learn what to expect!

1. Name Inspo
It took a few days for me to settle on a name, but coming up with Jenai’s Beauty & Book Nook feels the most accurate. I can’t stand choosing between my interests, so I thought it would be fun to merge my love for beauty and reading. I even created an actual reading nook that feels on par with this new journey.
2. Monthly Picks
Confession: I love when things feel organized (thanks Mom). As much as I could tell you I’m not bothering with monthly picks, that would be a bold-faced lie. The only difference with Jenai’s Beauty & Book Club is I may not always choose the most popular #BookTok reads or new titles.
Aside from that, I’ll also be choosing one beauty product to highlight each month. Whether it’s something I love or an item that’s on my wishlist, you’ll be hearing about it!
3. Genres
Wondering which genres will get the most shine? TBH (to be honest), it depends on how I feel! You’ll see:
Rom-Coms
Gothic Horror
Mystery
Horror
Familial Drama
Self-Improvement
4. Virtual Meet-Ups
I’m still debating about this, but I might consider virtual book club meetups later this year. Before I do that, I want to give this club a chance to make her acquaintances.
Stay tuned because June 1 will kick off the first Jenai’s Beauty & Book Nook picks!
Hint: They’re have one thing in common — being black-owned! Share your guesses in the comments!
