MINDFUL MORNINGS WITH CELIA MUNOZ FROM LA COQUETA KIDS

Have you ever browsed around on Instagram and come across a beautiful feed—and then looked up to realize 30 minutes have gone by?!

That’s exactly what happened when I stumbled across Celia Munoz, owner and designer of the gorgeous Spanish clothing boutique, Lacoqueta Kids. I went nuts for everything! Her charming European life and five gorgeous children feel like something I would dream up—but they’re totally real!

Stunning European countryside, amazing adventures, and beautiful children’s clothing will leave you charmed with Celia, her business, and her lovely family.

Are you a morning person? If not, how do you handle getting up early with your kids?

If you could get someone to take over any part of your morning, what would it be?

Tying shoelaces and doing special hairstyles for my two daughters. I am terrible at it and find it a waste of time, but it is important to them so I try to make the effort.

Describe your morning in just 3 words.

Routine, energy and healthiness.

Coffee or tea?

Tea of course…one of the things I like the most about England. I recently discovered a Rooibos tea with cinnamon and orange that I love, always with a little bit of added milk.

What comes to mind when you think of mindfulness?

I think of the little things that my children do that in a way are so ordinary but in another way are so special, and that I will probably miss once they are fully grown up.

How do you find mindfulness in the morning?

By waking up early, taking that 15 minutes with my husband and not rushing anybody, just enjoying our morning before everybody goes to school. However, it’s always a work in progress…

What do you do the night before to make your mornings feel easier?

I ensure all of my children’s clothes, homework, etc. are ready so that we just need to get dressed, tidy up and have breakfast together without having to think about choosing clothes or preparing a schoolbag. I prepare all of my smoothie ingredients before I go to bed so that I save a few minutes in the morning.

Bonus: What are you working on right now? Tell my readers about what you do and any fun projects you are working on. Shameless plug!

At the moment I am working on our next SS16 shoot. We are launching  a special occasion collection (first time ever for us!) and I am very excited.
