What’s your idea of the perfect morning? For me, it’s getting up a bit earlier than I need to, make a cup of tea, and practicing yoga. I’ve only just recently started practicing, but it has made a massive impact on how I feel throughout the day. I love getting up, putting on my workout gear, and hitting the mat before starting the workday. When Hunkemoller reached out and asked if I would like to try out some of their sportswear, I leaped at the opportunity. Because the only thing better than a good workout? It’s cute athletic wear.
Not going to lie, I have a lot going on at the moment n terms of “life admin”, so that little time that I have in the morning is my “calm before the storm” of the day. I sit in front of a computer for 90% of my day, which is a huge stress on my body. I’m always achy, with a lot of back and neck pain. Practicing yoga when I first wake up has been the one thing to help lessen the severity of it. I’m seriously hoping this continues.
Anyway, back to my mornings. I usually wake up between 8:30-9:00 AM (this is early for me, since I start work at 12). The first thing I do is get up and get dressed in my HKMX Sports Leggings. They are so incredibly stretchy and comfortable. Plus, they are so cute – I love the HKMX logo down the sides! They have 4 colors to choose from – I opted for black, since it matches with practically everything.
After feeding the cat, I make some tea (usually peppermint or green), and get the yoga mat out. I’m still a VERY new beginner, so I watch videos of beginner flows (Jessica Olie’s are the best!). Also, because of the fact that I’m a beginner, I’m still hesitant about documenting myself on the mat (still getting over the fear of taking pictures of myself for this little blog; but hey, baby steps). I usually practice yoga for about 30-40 minutes each morning.
Once my yoga sesh is finished, I get started with any tasks that need to be done, before eventually logging on to work until 8pm. Working from home means I don’t necessarily need to get dressed up. I’m one of those people that could practically live in athletic wear, so I’m not complaining.
The HKMX leggings are so beyond comfortable that I wear them all day long. They’re casual, but not too casual that I can’t wear them out on the rare occassion I need to run an errand.
What is your idea of the perfect morning?

It’s so cool that you got to check out Hunkemoller’s sportwear! With the amount of time we spend sitting in the office, we should practice good ergonomics. I love how the leggings look on you.

These leggings look great on you. I’ve never heard of Hunkemoller’s sportwear before, but will keep them in mind next time I need some new bits.
My perfect morning involves not having to use an alarm, a lovely cup of tea with some breakfast and just being able to relax before starting my day. I find that during my working week I’m always on the go and rushing around.
I love leggings because they make your legs look great! My perfect morning is simple: cup of coffee and a few hours of blogging before the kiddos wake up.
