What are your top tips, rituals, or habits for feeling sophisticated and elegant at home?

[@blueice011]

Lovely video as always, Jamila. Thank you. It's a pleasure learning from you. When it comes to loungewear, my goal is comfort and effortless, demure but classy elegance. Natural materials, such as cotton, silk, wool, cashmere or linen are always good choice for me and they don't have to be expensive. I feel that H&M has excellent choice in this particular category - my favorites would be their knits in various combinations and sets, also cotton and linen sets. Very minimalistic, clean lines, comfortable but classy and timeless. You can look and feel like a lady inside your home, you can safely step outside in the same outfits and still look classy. I also love layering silk or satin tops with soft cashmere or wool slightly oversized and relaxed cardigans in more special occasions in the evening - the feeling of softest wool that glides over silky garment is very sensual. Ballet flats/slip-ons lined with soft fury or wool are great choice for indoors. I love to have fresh flowers in my home. The scent is very important to me - I choose breezy, fresh and clean fragrance for both myself and my home. I never combine lounge or sleepwear with strong perfumes. Instead I opt for original Nivea or Dove deodorants which smell creamy, soft and clean and for my home I usually choose similar, clean cotton or linen scents in a form of diffuser. I love candles but I find them to be to hazardous and not particularly healthy option. I love lamps with warm, soft light and cozy vibe in my favorite spaces at home. It creates special ambiance.

I recently made a rule in our house that the last person out of bed (between my husband and I) should make the bed. 9 times out of 10 that is me since my husband wakes up at 5:30am for work weekdays. But weekends I usually am rising earlier. I've found making the bed and doing a quick tidy of the room really elevates the feeling from sloppy/unorganised (if left unmade) to clean, tidy, and elegant. My husband also got me a glass essential oil nebuliser (no plastic parts) so that we can scent the room with calming aromas. Lavender is my favourite for the bedroom. I also adore fresh flowers from our garden for the kitchen table under a table runner. Keeping the dining table free of clutter with a daily tidy also is a small ritual that helps make the home feel elevated & elegant. I stopped using candles after finding they were triggering my asthma (unless plain beeswax) and hearing of a family friend's home which burnt to the ground due to a knocked over candle. 😢 I'm Catholic so I still get to enjoy candles at the Church, lighting one when I make my prayers. 🕯️ Another thing that I want to work on is putting on makeup daily. I always feel so much happier, elegant and more confident about myself. It's not something that I currently do however, but it's something I want to work on. 💕🌸

[@geetiara1112]

I'm trying to adopt elegant living these days, but the ritual you set for coffee/tea is amazing, I'll add it ❤. I'm university student, most of the time special mornings are rush but still I try to maintain it, all because of you. My favorite thing to do is wearing a light scent (I don't reveal it either 😊) and coffee and my notes to memorize. Thank you for everything ❤

[@ruchikumari5806]

I am 19 year old girl from India. I am on treatment of depression and you really have elevated my life. You made me confident and most importantly you made me happy from the core of heart. Thankyou my sister. 🤗

[@divencidiaries9160]

Hello Jamila ! And everyone here. I would like to share that I used to love scents, candles, perfumes, oils etc. but now, I am suffering from severe allergies to scents (any strong smell good or bad) to the point that I cannot wear any perfume anymore. Maybe my message is for all just to be careful on the products you will use. Make sure it's mild or hypoallergenic in nature because in the long run your nose or sinus will suffer the effect . Just a friendly reminder to all. Lovelots ! ❤ - Divine 😊

[@dominoesfreak9940]

This is the reality of using products with artificial fragrances...thanks for your concern dear❤

I don’t even care about etiquette that much, but I love her voice. It sounds so nice.

[@user-cm3gb7hp4i]

yes，I love her voice🤣

[@Englishroserebecca]

@@user-cm3gb7hp4ime too even the tone of her voice is elegant

[@HurairaHerbals]

This is much of the same advice my Syrian mother always gives me. My lounge wear is soft caftans, and shorter ones for days i'm cleaning. The tea tray is basically what I do for breakfast and i'll usually light an incense at that time and write in my journal. perfume (always an attar, I got rid of my alcohol based/synthetic perfumes) is a must. Its my last step of getting ready for the day before going to make my tea and it puts me in such an uplifted, elegant and luxurious mood.

[@Purplesock1904]

Learned the same from my Jordanian mother❤❤ much love!

[@susanstuart2718]

The first thing I do each morning is, make my bed; that way, I start the day having done something useful and productive.

[@floinc]

When i do my matcha ritual I feel so elevated and uplifted. I have this ritual for 25 years and I never tired of it. It sets up the mood for my entire day. Even when i fly and go somewhere i have my matcha with me. My lounge wear is from MOTF or silk coordinates that is made of mulberry silk. Rcen working at home i feel like its a vacation. I use minimal jewelry at home too. We're the same I have signature scent at home and it's attached to my bed silks too.

[@rpllfmfm]

I've subscribed since 2020, and look forward to every new video. If you are new, congratulations: You just found the best etiquette and self-development channel on YT. Welcome!

[@cristinapatino8726]

I love bubble baths to end the evening and clean my environment to make me feel at home. I will try to invest in loungewear and lap tray to make my life feel sophisticated and elegant at home. Thank you for sharing, Jamila!

[@andreiadetavora8471]

Lovely video! I agree with you on the secrecy of our perfume! I never liked when someone asked what I wore. I lost a friend because I said the name of my fragrance. She bought it without trying it on her skin. When she wore it, it was very different from my skin reaction . She acused me of trying to hide my fragrance, saying that it was not the same!! Well... So this was a lesson trully learned. The tea ritual... you're so right Jamila. I was sick (gut issues) for some time, and I only could drink water and tea, and eat soup and fruit. I did it with all my silverwear, with flowers on my table, with music on the background. Now i'm better, but looking back, it trully gave me strenght to deal with an unpleasant situation (i was in a lot of pain). Oh and I was always dressed, even when in pain. And that, also helped a lot.

[@thedarkestsunn]

I’ve been watching this channel for a few years now and these are the videos I used to be like “mm nah won’t bother” but now I GET it

[@ElladaJavadi]

Dear Jamila I am fully agree with you, we don't need wait for special days or events to see or be in front of creativity we can do it very low income also as you sad, just we need only to understand our value, thanks for you that every your video you keen on us be more elegant and as a real women to accept our reality see how we can change our environment for better side if we change our mind our character will change then it impact our live, everything depends on us❤

Thank you so much Jamila, for this wonderful content ❤ Have a great day. Love, Jennifer

[@rassgune]

Love your videos so much, thanks Jamila❤️

[@decemberclouds]

The easiest way for me to feel elegant at home is by using lovely plates and cups. Brands like Spode, Burleigh, Royal Albert, and Gien make lovely dining ware. Spode and Burleigh have factory sales and sell Seconds, so it makes some of their items the same price as cheaper brands. If you can get to France, there are dozens of markets selling used plates for very affordable prices.

[@mariellegrant6248]

Thank you Jamila, for such a relaxing and inspiring video! Yes, rituals, perfumes, nice and comfortable clothes, bring real pleasure and joy to our life at home!

Hello Ms. Jamila, I’ve always seen you as elegant, courageous, and wise so a video about how to make one’s adversity into power or how to remain elegant even when facing bad situations and or poverty would be amazing.

[@rhythmicelegance4670]

A noble attitude is one way. The character Sara Crewe in the film A Little Princess (1995) starring Liesel Matthews demonstrates this, as well as Scarlett O’Hara in the film Gone With the Wind (1939).

I don’t have any lounge clothes. I just wear my regular clothes all day, whether I’m working or going out. I don’t bother changing when I come home from work, unless I’m cleaning and then I’ll throw on some comfy pants and a t-shirt. Can you share your thoughts on this?

[@potatoqueen2228]

Good morning, thank you very much for this lovely video, may I ask you about the essential oil/perfume mixture? Where I live it is uncommon to wear this kind of scents, can you please tell me the name of the brand, so I could look it up online? Thank you very much and have a wonderful day 🌸

I love the recommendations you provided but I have a small problem hehe how do I look good in my loungewear when I have a hairy dog and all my clothes is full of his hair? Asking for a friend T_T

[@littleczbear9102]

My grandma was a very elegant woman who loved to rescue dogs and would let her dogs inside the house too. Her ritual (I suppose) was to have a number of lint removers around the house (the reverse velvet kind not the disposable kind) and a couple of times a day she would stop and give herself a little brush. I thought it was the cutest thing since it was really a never ending battle! I think if she were still alive today she would probably have gotten a nonshedding dog to help relieve the hair everywhere!

Didn’t expect to be first 😊 I never thought of buying for loungewear. Interesting! May I ask, how does an elegant person express anger? Because it seems difficult to express anger when you want to preserve the elegance. Especially at home; it’s my safe space so I wanted to be able to freely express my emotions there.

Hi Jamlila, i love your content but may i please suggest that you leave out the introduction to your books and courses till half way through the video or the end. in this era of short attention span, the easiest way to throw people off especially first time viewers is by asking them to subscribe to your chanel or course in the first minute without giving them a reason to or atleast giving them the chance to know you through your content. not to mention its boring to watch introduction for a whole minute before getting to the actual content.
