We’re avid followers of her Instagram, and we simply love her minimalist yet captivating aesthetic. Her feed will surely induce #FOMO as you scroll through her beautifully styled food shots of organic and healthy meals, yoga poses, and the cute snaps of baby Alessandra (who’s quite the mini fashionista herself!).
And if you haven’t heard of the #slowliving movement before this, Bella’s feed will quickly introduce you to this philosophy of slowing down and connecting with life. And after getting a glimpse into Bella’s life, this is something we’re seriously considering.

We recently spoke to Bella to find out how she does motherhood with such grace and style, and here’s what she had to say...
#1 What’s one thing we wouldn’t have guessed about you?
That I'm seriously anal about keeping the house in order and clean. Clutter-free is key and I secretly enjoy doing house chores...haha. I get plenty of satisfaction from it. #houseproud
#2 What’s your secret to taking such beautiful Instagram pictures? It's all about natural lighting and keeping it real! If all else fails, summon the cats!

#3 What are 3 mobile apps you can’t live without? PayPal, Uber, Deliveroo, and Pure Yoga. I am an appaholic. I love apps that make my life easier and supports my lifestyle!
#4 What do you use PayPal for? And how has it helped make things easier for you?
I use PayPal for EVERYTHING. From dinners, groceries to baby products. Also as a merchant for Flea & Trees. I'm one click away from all my purchases and that saves me plenty of time. It is also a reliable platform if I'm purchasing from a new site.
#5 Can you share 3 online shopping sites that you are your go-to sites for baby products and organic food/clothing? Diapers.com,Reformation.com (sustainable fashion) and
Iherb.com.
#6 What’s your secret to juggling motherhood and your business? Stay focused, multi-task and make every minute count. I usually reply emails when I'm traveling or eating. Most importantly, work with people whom you can trust and rely on.
#7 What’s one piece of advice you would give to a mum who’s thinking of starting her own business?
Start small and scale your business with passion.
Thank you for sharing Bella, you’re one supermum indeed! We hope you are as inspired by Bella as we are, and don’t forget to check out her
Instagram channel as well as visit her site
Fleas & Trees (and yes, you can use PayPal to check out here!).
From all of us at PayPal, Happy Mother’s Day!
