RIISE presents Wellness Hacks — a continuing exploration of the rituals and rhythms that shape a well-lived life. In this third edition, we invite a friend of RIISE to share the intentional practices that ground them in balance, vitality, and clarity - from morning moments to evening rituals.
Bella Thomas has built a distinctive presence in the fashion and creative space, known for her warm aesthetic, thoughtful storytelling, and grounded approach to life online. Raised in Sydney, she began her career as a model before expanding into content creation, where her eye for natural beauty, photography, and slow-living imagery quickly set her apart.
Bella’s work now spans fashion, travel, and lifestyle projects, and she has collaborated with a wide range of Australian and international brands. With a background that blends Australian and Indian heritage, she often draws on personal identity and lived experience in her creative work. Bella is recognised not only for her visual style but also for the genuine, reflective tone she brings to her platform and RIISE was thrilled she agreed to share her wellness hacks with us.RIISE: What do you do upon waking?
Bella: I wake up to my dog at the edge of my bed, pleading with his sweet eyes for me to take him to the park. We give him a good run before I head home to move my body.
RIISE: What is your first drink of the day?Bella: Warm water with apple cider vinegar, mānuka honey, and lemon.
RIISE: What do you have for breakfast?Bella: Normally a plate of eggs, avocado, spinach, and tomatoes topped with seeds and chilli oil.
RIISE: Do you have a health hack you would like to share?
Bella: Consistency and patience.
RIISE: How do you ensure you have peaceful moments throughout the day?Bella: I like to rise early so I can give myself enough time to find stillness before I'm on someone else's clock.
I also love to read a good book before bed.
RIISE: What is your skincare hack?Bella: Hydration, and as I mentioned before, consistency.
RIISE: Do you have a mindfulness ritual?
RIISE: Do you have a favourite lunch to energise you?
Bella: I'm really not great at lunch — I always forget. In an ideal world it would be my best and biggest meal, but it's normally a snack plate with whatever I have in my kitchen.RIISE: What supplements can’t you live without?
Bella: Honestly, I don't take too many supplements. I try to get everything I can from the food I eat.RIISE: How do you maintain an attitude of gratitude?
Bella: I think this is something that is very much instilled in me. I don't have a gratitude ritual, but I do catch myself throughout the day having moments of thankfulness. It's nice to notice these moments when they come to you.RIISE: What have you done recently to improve your health and longevity?
Bella: I've seen an acupuncturist and a naturopath. Both have been so insightful! It always feels good to invest in my health.
RIISE: What herbal teas do you swear by?Bella: Sleepy time tea, I love having this before bed.
RIISE: Do you have a sleep hack?
Bella: I am naturally quite a good sleeper. Whenever I can't get to sleep, I turn on the bedtime stories called Nothing Much Happens. I'm without a doubt out within 10 minutes haha
RIISE: What’s the last thing you do before you go to sleep?
Bella: My friend gave me a mist that I spritz on my pillow and around the room before I sleep. It smells so good and sets the tone for a good night of rest.
