Thanks for the summary 🙏🏻
@@JamilaMusayeva eeek! I love you! ❤️
What's a good example of house shoes? Slippers of some kind ?
@@alid0228 I think she is talking about regular shoes, but us mortals usually wear slippers lol
@@jaclyn4098 haha
Difference in lounge wear and sleep wear and dressing to work at home, deserves a separate video in itself.
How about "How to look elegant on a budget"
😂 true story
After buying a garment, turn it inside out check for a crooked seems loose threads, or any other imperfection, which will make the garment appear sloppy or ill fitting and correct before the first wearing. I have found most imperfections occur on loose fitting garments, such as sleepwear or lightweight fabrics.
I don’t think she knows what that means 😂😂😂
Elegant and budget are rarely synonymous unfortunately.
My friends have always taught at me as I wear perfume to bed, and I sleep alone. It makes me feel good to shower moisturise and the use perfume. All of my 6 grandchildren have said at different times we know this is yours we can smell it. I have also notice that when they are upset and come to be comforted they will tuck into my neck and I can feel them sniffing me. Perfume does and has a lot of different uses.
OK, I’m seeing a lot of comments about her shower routine. As an aesthetician, I recommend that my clients wash their face twice a day. And even double cleanse in the evening. Now, this would be followed by serum‘s, treatment, and a good moisturizer. Excessive showering can lead to dry skin, but if you have a good routine and your moisturizing afterwards, preferably while you’re still wet, it really won’t be an issue. Make sure you’re exfoliating weekly as well. Showering is like meditation for some. I understand how this could end up being an essential part of her routine for her lifestyle.
Thank you for explaining this ☺️
Exactly 👍
This was a very timely video! I have been overhauling my loungewear. My go-to thought is: "Would I be happy to open the door in this outfit?" If the answer is "no", I take a step back and correct the parts of my outfit that are giving me cause for pause. Thank you for your content, it's very thought-provoking!
Very good rule of thumb!
Thank you.
l attended a formal dinner and followed all your instructions.... l felt like a queen however l was mindful to the other guests who were not as skilled. It was my secret until one guest recognized my manners. I smiled and tilted my head with a thank you. 😊 Self-assurance is peace of mind and no need to be heard. It caused me to just join into the atmosphere and accept each person and their contribution to the world.
SARA C. ❤
So cute!! You’re very pretty too!:)) I’m 18 so not a lot of formals but Ms. Jamila gives such good tips
This a beautiful comment and idea.
I am very glad to hear that!
Marvelous. I too have used this advice. It is a helpful skill indeed. Thank you Jamila!!!!!!!!!
I like the idea of loungewear and pajama being separate. Up to now, I've always thought it to be the same. Thank you.
You are welcome 🙏🏻
me too
As I come from Central-Eastern Europe not being properly groomed at home was always something that was shocking me. Almost as much as leaving house in sweats. Do you dress for others or yourself?
Do you value people outside more than people who you share your house with?
I absolutely agree with you
I agree with you.
Isn't being raw about properly groomed?
I’m Eastern European... but what??? In my country we millennials happily lounge in joggers, tees and slippers at home. Going out? Not so much. Totally different.
@@h52114z not really. And how it was in your family home?
@@bip5395 me and my boyfriend own matching joggers. Maybe here in industrial part of Serbia we do not care what we wear, in the comfort of our own homes.
Mrs. Musayeva, here is one video request: appropriate clothes for airport. It is necessary to be said and you are the right person to say it. I do not know why, but it it very normalized to face the whole world (and for me airports represent the doors of the world) wearing slippers and something that looks like gym wear, or even worse - a pajama. We need to be reminded how to carry ourselves into the world.
Personal story: I have met my business client at airport in Vienna, while both of us were dining alone waiting for connecting flight. We started talking and soon we realized I can help him in his business. At the end, he thanked me and insisted to pay both dinners. I went home, he went to fair in Germany. Next week I got a request for quotation for our cooperation. Would that happen if I was wearing gym clothes? Hardly.
Thank you for sharing this story. I absolutely agree with you!
I love this👍🏻 lets bring back the groomed presentable look , people nowadays wear anything anywhere
Thank you
Jamila means beautiful in Arabic. You wear this name gracefully.
I appreciate the concept of preparing oneself for the day, even when we are working from home.
Glad to hear that ☺️
Growing up we had our school clothes, play clothes and our church clothes (fancy clothes wear). After school we came home we immediately changed into our play clothes so we can go and play. We would stay in those until we went to bed into our PJs. Our clothes would look nicer and last longer. I would like to incorporate that more at home wear. Especially like loungewear. I want to look decent enough where you can go out of the house but comfortable. I definitely couldn't shower four or five times a day though. I think my skin would be too sensitive to that but in the summer I have shower twice in the day because I was sweaty so much. Also comfort is important and have clothes tailored if needed.
Whatever makes you feel good, do that.
@@JamilaMusayeva of course. Now days you can feel good and look good. Much more options today.
Taking 4 showers a day is so excessive though...wastes so much water and its horrible for your skin barrier
true, just twice a day is enough.
Totally agree
Agree, you might take shower as and when it is needed (after workout, gardening, etc), but 3-4 is way too much. Tom Ford suffers from OCD. Cerave soap can you help you with skin barrier if needed.
It depends on where you live, in tropical country it's common for people to take shower 3 times a day
It depends on where you live and the season. For example during Indian summers you will take atleast 2-3 showers. Also depends on how often you go out
How very accurate. After being the CEO TO a private school - so having to be impeccable in order to respect students, teachers and families - I'm retired now but still volunteering online or giving at home tuition, I set myself a rule : to look exactly the same as when I was the Head. And when no lessons are planned that day, I wear elegant lounge wear. To the delight of one's family, to start with,. You also never know who might just turn up, some people visit unexpectedly ( not a recommended move, though, but nobody's perfect !), or a neighbour brings you a parcel that wasn't for them, they'll never catch you unkempt and haggard in dubious pijamas.
I mean I also wear dresses at home but live a little, the world won't end if someone sees u in pyjamas. Must be stressful living like this
Very well said! It's good to see that being retired doesn't mean you can't look as good as when you were the CEO, I think it's an act of self respect and says a lot about your character. And trust me, people do notice. About your second point, I couldn't agree more. If you look like a mess at home and you get some unexpected visits, it's better to be looking decently, instead of running around trying to change of clothes and look better, it takes more time and energy.
@@extrastout1741 The secret is to do what works for you. For me, it is less stressful to be dressed than to be in pajamas (notice that Clementine said, "haggard in dubious pajamas."} I would have less problem opening the door in loose black pajama bottoms with a grey t-shirt, but I would probably put a raincoat over it. Even so, the raincoat is eccentric. So, I just get dressed; it's much less stressful. In the winter, I get dressed and put a comfortable robe over my clothes. If someone comes over unexpectantly, or if I have a Zoom meeting, I just remove the robe and put on a sweater or jacket.
Thank you Jamila. I am a 58yr young Dutch Hungarian German woman, mother of 6, grandmother of 9. I live in the north Minnesota woods in a lg farmhouse on acreage. I grew up in NJ where I learned all about etiquette, dressing for success, people, cultures, lifestyles, makeup, etc.... I moved at 22 to Seattle where I picked up on even more knowledge about beauty and health. I take care of my appearance for many reasons. It's healthy, makes me more energetic even if I'm just carrying in wood or making kindling. I color and style my hair. I've got eyelash extensions. I live in acreage and cannot have acrylic nails.... I'm remodeling a large farmhouse built in 1900. Love it!!!! Anyway. I love your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing your understanding on many fronts. I hope your audience grows and that many women become empowered into their female loveliness. I'm thrilled to be a woman. I like being pretty..... even in a cow pasture..... 🙋🏼♀️💖
That superman example really helped me understand the "why" of dressing up.♥️🇨🇦
Glad to hear that ☺️
When I started working from home, I bought shirts that are strictly my "work clothes" I do a lot of virtual meetings so, I still wear makeup for those. I never show up in my virtual meetings in a rumpled shirt or without make up. Great content as always :)
Thank you 😊
@@JamilaMusayeva omg!! love how you are super engaging with your audience.
Im a stay at home mom,and i always try to look my best especially when my husband is around,like for example i always wake up early to take a cold shower and at least put on lipstick and tone up cream at home
And never wear lazy sweatpant,always dress up like i want to go outside (but still comfort)
I want to be pretty and neat for my husband ❤️
That is beautiful ☺️
@@JamilaMusayeva thank you ❤️
That's wise.
Beautiful ❤
That's really nice! Your husband is very lucky to have you❤️
I personally feel so much more confident and perform much more productively when I am wearing minimal makeup and perfume at home. Nothing too strong just something that makes me feel pretty 😊🌸.
Very nice advice. Sometimes when we home we don't like to dress up , but it is good tips to always look refreshed and elegant!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Minimal makeup is a great tip… I put on false eyelashes, eyebrow pencil and lip tint for like a week or so and felt great! I got lazy and stopped… now I’m going to get back into a routine
Thank you for your kind advices. I love being clean and smelling nice with hydrated skin. ❤ For dark under eyes try a peach tone corrector instead of concealer. You will love the coverage and luminosity 😊
Thank you Jamila for one of the best videos! Congratulations and thank you for encouraging people to live beautifully…how we live every single day, when none sees us….this is what we really are.
I’m starting a new work from home job and recently purchased a few “work from home” outfits. I purchased button down shirt and straight leg pants matching sets. I figured the button down shirt will help me not feel as if I’m not “dressed”
Thank you for this video, I wasn’t even looking for anything like this and it just popped up in my recommendations
You are very welcome ☺️
This is what I had always wondering about! Next; how to behave elegantly at home maybe?
Yes! I would love this! Anna Bey has a video about what not to do at home. I think it’s called “10 things elegant ladies don’t do at home” or something like that. But yes!! I’d love to hear Jamila’s take!
@@halcyondays8945 un I’ve watched Anna beys a long time ago but I found out about some of the things she did outside of her videos and I wasn’t sure to support her anymore. But yes, to see jamilas take would be great!
Yes!!
I also watch Anna Bey but I am not aware of what she is doing outside her videos.May I know what are these things that she did that you don’t like?
Are y'all mocking or for real💀
It's funny, I also always put makeup on. A very minimal, natural looking makeup, even when I'm home alone. It's simply part of my everyday grooming routine. Always skincare first and then makeup 😊 It's automatic now, there's not even a question
As always, great advice. ❤❤❤ Love your calming and confident voice! ❤️❤️❤️
Having dedicated shoes for home is reminiscent of Mr. Rigers and gim changing into his cardigan and house shoes. It's a welcomed idea 💡
What you said about the wardrobe change reminds me so much of the alter ego, a personal favorite of mine. Thanks for the great video!
☺️🙏🏻
I would like to hear from you about - how to look elegant while traveling.
As someone who is always working with men, on construction sites and professional offices, I would appreciate any advice you can give. Especially boundaries between being approachable but not flirty. Open to honest communication but not available for any unprofessional or unproductive conversation. It’s rough.
Hi Drav. I worked with a lot of men. I handled each man differently. My general suggestion is to wear clothing that is not tight. I wore slacks which were fitted at the waist but not tight. I always a blouse that wasn't tight, sheer or lowcut .I always wore a jacket. I wore flats or low heels. Make up was minimal. I only wore pants because one man commented on my legs. You might not have that problem. I never flirted. Even so, all but one man flirted with me. I handled each man differently: to one, I only spoke about religion, another his wife, another his mother, another my husband, another work, and I didn't laugh at off-color jokes, etc. You can loosen up later once the men realize that you are not interested in them, but at first it is better to just be very professional.
Thank You! Love your style. Reminding me of George Clooney's wife who is super elegant.
Thank you :)
Jamila, I would like a video wuth some recommendations of what to do and not to do while eating /drinking alone in a restaurant or a bar
Im retired so at
Home 24/7 your tips are great!!! Yes, a morning shower helps my day!!!!
Glad to hear that!
Even many of us forget to follow these simple tips , amazing !
You are welcome
Thank you, Jamila. Lovely video as always. I appreciate you addressing the needs of home life when managing children. I love being dressed up, but all too often videos seem detached from the reality of motherhood.
I love this so much thank you Jamila 💙💙 Congratulations on 700,000 subscribers!!
Thank you 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you Jamila, beautiful and thoughtful advice as always❤️
I agree with the multiple showers idea, it clears my mind and naturally new ideas just pop in with little or no stress.
Honestly I use it as a therapy mechanism cause it's safe and totally inexpensive😅
Also, it makes me feel fresh throughout the day.
My family sees it as silly if I have to take another shower if I'm meeting up with friends during the day but for me, it cleanses my aura and helps me feel refreshed and confident.
Thanks for such insightful words, God bless❤️
Absolutely agree with you 🤍
You need therapy right away
Jamila please be careful with your advice
@@juditemarchany-decastro9596
I'm not sure you're qualified to speak on that.
Just because someone who has mental health issues may engage in taking multiple showers doesn't mean that EVERYONE who takes multiple showers automatically needs therapy.
She explained herself. She views it as therapeutic, and it makes her feel good. Is it bad for the environment? Yeah probably, but you can't assume anything from her comment.
Your comment simply has no merit.
@@juditemarchany-decastro9596 says who?
Thanks!
Perfumes in the space or on me are very important for my concentration. I can't use jeans for work from home, but I love dresses too. I'm going to try wear house shoes, you meke me realice that ingredient was mising.
Can you do a video about selecting bridal dresses to look elegant in the wedding day
pleasee make a video about stationery ✏etiquette, and thank you for this video!
Everytime I watch a video about personal growth and see “take shower/bath in the morning” made me question why do something like this needs to be included…
Then I realized that I born and lived in tropical country which automatically lived in a culture of “you have to take shower/bath at least twice a day; when you wakeup in the morning and when the sun is set/before bed”
Parents in my country always taught their kids to do so. I was thinking maybe bcs we lived in a ‘hot’ country so we have to regularly make ourselves clean for health reasons. But I also noticed that a simple routines like that really helps me to more be organized (and it helps with my mood too!). Bcs if I compared to day when I skipped showering in the morning, it’s like I’m not doing my best for the entire day… Especially if I have unexpected guest….. Feeling so insecure bcs I’m still ‘dirty’ and not smelling good (eventho maybe they can’t smell my body odor unless they sit really close or when I hug to greet them) 😅
Thanks for sharing this ☺️
Thank you jamila, can you kindly guide us about the light makeup that you wear at home?
Thank you for this video! You look stunning. Congrats on 700k subscribers. Have a nice week Jamila!
Thank you 😊
Hi, i have watched a lot of your videos, they help me with my English and teach me a lot of beautiful things about etiquette ❤️. I would like to see a video about hairstyles for very humid days, i don't know if it has to do with etiquette but i really don't feel elegant on rainy days and one of the reason is my hair. Thanks ❤️
Showering up to 4 times a day is the most unrealistic thing I’ve ever heard. Wow.
My dad showers more than 4 times a day😭
Yeah.Even in tropical countries like Sri Lanka.😒
Sooooo bad for your skin
I shower 3 times a day because its ssooooooooooo hot here 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
I live in Bangladesh. It's hot as hell here. I always shower more than 3 times a day
I really appreciate your channel, my mom actually recommend me this channel but now am a regular viewer! looking forward to your future videos.🦋
Thank you 😊
I just found your channel and I am sooo in love!! You are goals🙌🏻❤️
Thank you Jamila for sharing simple to apply but also very useful & valuable tips on "How to be elegant at home."
My pleasure 😊
Please do a video on how we can incorporate elegance to our personal brand.
I've been thinking about all these things recently. I live in a very rural area, on acreage, and am in and out of the garden all the time so it's tough. But wearing slippers all the time in the house has been bothering me, oddly. It feels sloppy. And I am very guilty of having an old silk/cashmere sweater that is past it's best before date!
I do however always make effort with meals, with the 'good' place settings and flowers. I absolutely refuse to shovel in food while hunched over a coffee table like I see so many do.
Jamila you're such an amazing teacher.
Thank you
Thank you so so so much Jamila for this video because its truly truly helpful to me in my life and I truly truly love your videos so so much and congratulations for 700K Subscribers ✨💞🎂🎊☺️
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hello Jamila! Please give heads up 2 months before the Meet and Greet/Training so we can prepare. Thanks 😊
Thank you, Jamila ♥️🌹
I love all your tips how to be elegant at home and learning etiquette.
Great advice. Thanks beautiful. 🤍Hope you are enjoying your day 🌸Jamila.
Thank you 🥰
Thank you once again Jamila!!!💗
Welcome ☺️
Thank you, Jamila. Your advices are precious.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the video jamila❤
Thank you so much for this video and all your work here on the channel. I appreciate so much ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Loved it!! as always🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!
Thank you Jamila for making this wonderful video, it was really insightful, i love the idea of following etiquettes at home, i have neve actuality practiced being this elegant honestly😅
But, now i am going to start doing it!!
Very helpful tips. Thanks Jamila! I definitely need to go out and buy some good lounge wear
You are welcome
I grew up with a strict no-shoes-in-the-house rule and still tend to stick to it, even though I sanitize my shoes with alcohol after wearing them outside. Luckily there are slippers out there that look pretty much like ballet flats, and that does the trick, phew 😂 Jamila, could you please make a video on what to wear to bed and when getting up in the morning when it's cold and you need to bundle up but don't want to look frumpy? Am I the only one who struggles a lot with this? 🙂
A nice robe will help you ☺️
Hi Jamila, Thank you for this timely information. I recently started wearing casual business clothes while I telecommute and study from home. I had previously gotten into the bad habit of wearing my workout clothes while I worked - which is another way of saying that I was dressing like a slob because I was at home. I most definitely feel more professional and productive when I wear business casual. Also - thank you for mentioning the fresh flowers on the desk. This was another change that I made in conjunction with dressing better. The flowers in my home office make me smile each time I enter it.
I am glad to hear that 😊
I can't imagine dear Ms. Jamila looking anything less than elegant no matter the circumstances. Pay attention ladies! 🙂❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@JamilaMusayeva You are most welcome.
@@JamilaMusayeva (I have always kept my cologne a secret despite the occasional question. I think there is something to be said for a little mystery.)
Can we have a video on minimalistic jewellery for professionals
Please.....
Thank you very kindly for this topic. I have been teleworking for three years in total. I dress and groom and shower and put on make up and wear hosiery and pretty shoes every day. I know for me personally I have a better attitude and a work mental framework. This is very good for my self-esteem and frequent grooming keeps me smelling delightful and physically attractive to my husband.
If you can be elegant out of home
You can be equally elegant at home
She shows and explains how today
That it can be achieved any place
And she has with only her dress on
Nothing more save the shoes she wears
I could listen to you speak all day long!! 👏👏 ❤
Thank you for the amazing tips! Could you do a video on commuting etiquette? The situation is very bad over there 😢
What an amazing video Jamila! On my journey to be a better version of myself, I've realized the importance of good habits and being prepared for life, what you mentioned in this video is very useful advice. I think that working from home (especially if it's new for you) can be hard at first and one may be tempted to downgrade, to just look less presentable and that's not good so creating a workspace for you at home and doing things you'd do if you were to work outside of the home is way better.
showering isnt actually really nevessary on day to day basis, unless you of course sweat. in current climate especially in Europe when we should be mindful of the energy use, daily showers arent necessary for all :) just for everyone to keep in mind, it shouldn't be overly encouraged at times like these. quick cold showers really do freshen you up in the morning tho!
The video that I just needed 😍
Glad to know ☺️
Thank you, Ms jamilla, for being honest about your showering preferences. I also like to shower multiple times in a day. Now I don't have to be self-conscious about people in general or a future spouse thinking that it's over the top and weird. Also, when I take a shower I end up gaining insights into how to solve problems that I've been having and even profound revelations.
And wasting water without necesity. 😅
@@allenairamveraus6820 Unless you live an austere life eschewing modernity, I can't imagine that you can self-righteous suggest that you never engage in the many unnecessary practices and customs of life. I could list some common uses of water that are a result of overconsumption.
I do have indulgent ways, I also have frugal and humble ways too. I bet many of us do too.
Jamila can you tell us that how to be consistent on our work or on studies . Please give me an advice it will motivate me because you are my mentor
Helpful tips thanks for sharing !
Glad it was helpful!
I would love to fins a series like this but for pregnancy. I'm currently very much pregant and with my inability to walk without waddling and the extra weight and little human inside me, I am finding it hard to feel ladylike or pretty.
Do not worry. Just enjoy this moment and know that it is temporary. You will not be walking like this all your life.
Love this video! I’m going to be putting some of these into practice :)
So glad!
Thank you once again for such an informative video. You are ❣️
You are welcome 🙏🏻
Ahhh your new video is here 😍
🙏🏻☺️
I would love suggestions for starting an etiquette and feminine journey later in life, such as around 35 or 40. Thank you for continually sharing your wisdom. ❤️
Great suggestion!
Absolutely wonderful 👏 ❤ 😊 🙏
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your useful advice. Your tutorials are really interesting and have helped me a lot. If you have time, I have a suggestion for a new video. I would really be interested in knowing more about how to be firm and elegant at the same time, such as in the following situations: 1) How to reject disclosing personal information when someone is being too intrusive and persuassive with courtesy. 2) How to say no with education. 3) How to disagree with respect and elegance (or professionalism, in the case of a work atmosphere).
Such a relaxing voice!
Thank you!
Great tips! I'll be sure to follow these. 😊
Would still love a video on where to meet quality people (friendship and dating) if you haven't made it already! I don't want to use the term "high value" because the use of the word has been cheapened over the year but it would be a lovely topic nonetheless.
I appreciated this video!
Probably at educational or cultural events. It may or may not be pricey, just academic in nature.
I am not sure what you mean by that. I think you can meet wonderful people in the most random places. The most important thing is to work on self-development and as a result attract such people into your life.
I do these especially when I feel slumped.. although I don't shower full body 4x... only 2x, morning and before bed... also what I do in secret,(elegant wife tip) putting perfume one mild spritz at the back of my neck before bed ... and my husband sniff it while we're spooning😁
my favorite kind of videos
Thanks ☺️
I love your videos 💖
Thanks for your recommendations 🤗
You are welcome
Hi Jamila, can you please share some tips on how to be elegant in social functions/partied especially if you are a bit self conscious and not a good dancer
Noted ☺️
Always look forward for your video... now wait start again 😊
Thank you 🙏🏻
Excellent advice 😊
Thank you
Great video, learned a lot, really useful advice. Next: how to behave elegantly in a car/cab maybe?
I have shown this in my online dining etiquette course. You can check out the link in the description box ☺️
Her voice is so soothing
Thank you!
I really like your dress!
