Bella Thomas: Women Who Inspire Us

Through our Women Who Inspire Us series we aim to highlight women who live their lives in a way that we find empowering. Every two weeks we introduce you to someone who has crossed our path - virtually or IRL - and left a lasting impression.

One such woman is model and creative Bella Thomas. We got to know her at our recent campaign shoot on the beautiful island of Mallorca.

Today, we are excited to share our #WomenWhoInspireUs interview with Bella Thomas. Reading her responses and diving into her world was truly inspiring, soothing and grounding, as it offers a glimpse into her creative and mindful nature. 

Introducing - Bella Thomas

How do you describe what you do? 

I am creative by nature and love to invest my creativity in whatever I am doing. Whether that be modeling, creating imagery, consulting or cooking in my kitchen!

Name three words that describe you.

Curious, kind and fluid

Share some moments that calm your mind and make you happy. What do you do to unwind and reconnect with yourself?

I always run to nature when I need to calm my mind. I am lucky to have grown up and live in Sydney Australia - nature is at our doorstep. If I’m feeling uneasy or need to ground myself I always jump in the ocean - there are some beautiful swimming spots close to my home. I love to go down for a swim mid morning during the week and just be still.

What does slow living mean to you?

Slow living to me means quite literally that, to live slow. By nature I like to know what's next and I get excited about the future - I think slow living is coming back to the present and appreciating where you are in this current moment. I also integrate the concept of slow living into the way I eat - buying organic, this means going to the farmers market once a week and purchasing all you need for the next 7 days - this requires meal planning so I don’t need to go to the grocery store mid week. I make sure that each meal leads into the next. I love the concept of an everlasting meal.

Tell us about your morning routine! 

I like to wake up early and go for a walk or run. I then love to do a strength workout at home. Coffee and breakfast follows after that.

Where do you find your inspiration?

Nature, always :)

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your 18 year old self?

Trust your gut!

Can you highlight a specific piece of clothing you've owned for a long time that holds a special place in your heart, and share the story behind it?

I think it's actually a gold bangle that my Grandma gave to me many years ago, it's a beautiful gold bangle that she got from India.

Your current or all time favorite song?

A song that I've been playing on repeat is "How Many Miles" by Mk.gee.
