7 Very Demure, Very Mindful late-night JB activities
“Very Demure, Very Mindful” takes TikTok by storm! If you’ve been living under a rock, let us fill you in.
A recent TikTok by the fierce and fabulous Jools Lebron has everyone talking about “demure and mindful” workplace attire. In a tongue-in-cheek video, Jools critiques the over-the-top makeup and fashion choices seen in some workplaces. Instead, she advocates for a more conservative and professional look, emphasising the importance of presenting yourself with respect and mindfulness in a professional setting.
With her signature sass and humour, Jools’ video has sparked a lively debate about workplace attire and the role of self-expression in a professional environment.
Since the Internet loves a niche joke (and so do we), let me share 7 very demure, very mindful late-night activities in Johor Bahru. Demure or not, you be the judge of that! Also check out our list of things to do during the day.
