How to Be Very Demure, Very Mindful at Home

So, TikTok has given us another trend, but this time it’s one we can take a little more lightly (pun intended). Introducing the viral "very demure, very mindful" trend, courtesy of content creator Jools LeBron. What started as a satirical piece on how women should present themselves conservatively at work, quickly took off across TikTok. In her now-famous video, Jools hilariously advises women to be “very demure” and “very mindful” with their makeup and clothing choices, advising against over-the-top looks, and instead encouraging “modest and respectful” workplace attire.

You know what, we can embrace the phrase in our home lives too, adding a touch of mindfulness and grace to our daily routines, as we channel a little more calm and elegance in our everyday tasks. So, how can we bring this viral trend into your own home life? 

Treat Your Mornings Like Royalty

Pour your coffee or tea like it’s a sacred ritual. No sloshing your drink into a mug while you sprint to your laptop – take a deep breath, pour slowly, and sip with the poise of a duchess. Then, begin each day with a few moments of meditation or deep breathing, this sets a positive tone and allows you to approach the day with intention

Mindful Meals, Darling

Forget the takeaway frenzy or eating over the sink (we’ve all done it). Sit down for your meals, light a candle, and enjoy each bite. It’s not just about the food, but the experience of slowing down and savouring life. 

Be Elegant with Your Décor

Surround yourself with things that bring you peace and joy. Maybe it’s minimalist décor or lush, cosy throws – whatever makes you feel “very demure.” Keep your space tidy and uncluttered, and you’ll find it easier to channel that mindful energy.

Slow Your Roll

Don’t rush through your chores like you’re on a home cleaning marathon. Instead, do each task with care – whether it’s wiping down surfaces or tidying your bookshelf, make it a mindful moment. If you’re going to clean, you may as well enjoy it, right?

Breathe, Just Breathe

When things get chaotic, take a moment to stop, breathe, and re-centre yourself. Just take time to relax by using soothing pulse point oil, taking milk bath or doing a simple hand care and inhaling the pleasant fragrances. Even a minute of mindfulness can help bring you back to that sense of calm. It’s all part of being "very demure, very mindful" after all.

So, what do you think? Ready to transform your home life into a tranquil oasis of grace and mindfulness? It’s not about perfection or over-the-top rituals – it’s about bringing a sense of peace and mindfulness to the everyday. Plus, you get to say you’re “very demure, very mindful” when you’re folding your socks after doing your natural laundry, which, let’s be honest, sounds quite lovely.

Now, off you go – light that candle, put on your fluffiest slippers, and embrace the calmness of your home like a TikTok star.
