We tell ourselves so many stories… and more times than not, these stories in our mind are created from false facts, untrue/exaggerated statements or the spiralling of negative thoughts. These ‘made up’ stories in our head can cause hurt and destruction (to ourselves & others). Choosing to have generous assumptions towards everyone & every situation stops the creation of these destructive stories. When you do this you’ll find you are slower to become offended, you are better able to genuinely listen when others are speaking and you are able to forgive wholeheartedly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630318752277-URCWNANT693PZL2N7H0O/3.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out Our society has created a culture that has taught us that we as women are in competition with one another; that it is in our nature to compare. We have learnt that we can’t all be beautiful, succeed and be celebrated at the same time. We have acquired a belief that ‘she needs to be less than in order for me to feel more than’. It’s time to un-learn this. It’s time for this to change. This is your reminder that another woman’s beauty is not the absence of your own. You can celebrate HER whilst still appreciating YOU. We are all able to co-exist and lift each other up to be the best version of our beautiful individual self. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630320224178-0X2FTU1SNVLT2S5YEG0U/5.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out The words we speak over ourselves (and others) hold so much power. Our words can destruct or give life; they’re either poison or fruit… and you have the ability to chose what path your words take. Choose to change your confession from negative to positive and speak life-giving, encouraging and inspiring words over yourself (and others). Tip: Look in the mirror and tell yourself everything you love about yourself (internal & external). I love to leave sticky notes all over my bathroom mirrors with positive confessions as a physical reminder that I am beautiful in ways the eye can not see. That I am smart and kind and I have more to offer to the world than what I look like. A little reminder: the girl in the mirror is not your enemy, she’s your best friend. She’s your home. Treat her well & with respect and speak to her kindly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630571712165-M0XJFJLIJ8ZMUFA3D0Z2/page0+2.jpg Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out Go on a soul search and understand what the vacancy in the heart is longing for. Find the root cause for the problem… don’t bandaid it with gossip. It will create a larger void and leave you feeling more empty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630320470199-VBYIF1JQV5FYB61KRBG5/10.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out I could do the most amazing of things, speak beautiful words over myself & others and have the most extravagant of generous gestures but all of it means nothing if I don’t sincerely mean it and do it with LOVE. Do everything with love. Let love be your highest goal. I hope you found these tips helpful! I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you define beauty and I’d love to learn from you, too! Let’s re-define beauty TOGETHER. Sending love always, Harms xox Disclaimer: I am not a health professional.

Don’t find your highs in the lows of others. Radhi Shetty says it beautifully: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630320383590-DHFNG0XIYDK3YGKHSRO6/8.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out Search for & find whatever is good for your soul and do that, every day! Implement it into your every day as much as you can and watch your outlook, mood & life improve in ways you never thought was possible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630320242420-7JH59Z9NLIFBTMDP1V4F/6.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out Everyone is fighting a silent battle that you know nothing about. It’s important to ask questions. Be curious and open the door to understanding and perspective. This will help you to create a new habit and stop a cycle of defaulting to judgement when you don’t understand why someone is behaving ‘that way’ or saying ‘the wrong thing’. Being curious always wins over being judgemental. (Actually harder than I thought! But, it’s well worth putting in the practice.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630318482691-XISXYTFKFLPF0CG9HZHC/2.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out It costs nothing to be kind and it’s one of the most generous gifts you can give! Always be kinder than you feel. To everyone, always. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630319991306-HLAKIKYMEU56PEJZHBXF/4.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out Spend as much time working on your insides as you do your outsides. We put so much time, energy, effort and money into our external appearance and neglect the most important thing of all; our heart, mind & soul. It’s time to invest in a counselling session to improve our mental health instead of that $150 brow tint & lamination. It’s time to put effort into loving ourselves unconditionally instead of figuring out what lip liner colour to use to make our lips look fuller. It’s time to put energy into studying yourself (your likes, passions, what fills you with joy) instead of studying gossip, celebrity news and the latest beauty tips in the magazine. Our looks FADE! I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to get to the end of my life and realise I spent so much of my precious time trying to ‘fix’ something that: never needed ‘fixing’ is ever-changing and in the end, actually fades. I want to get to the end of my life and feel confident that I invested my time, energy & effort wisely. I don’t want to spend every precious second of my life being at war with my body. I want to get to the end of my life and be grateful that I used my time to love EVERY INCH of my being and love it unconditionally. (Please note: I am not saying don’t ever invest into your appearance. It’s important to feel your best & look after yourself! I just believe that it should never be at the expense of your mental/emotional/spiritual health). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630317968348-BZX6YUCNW0MHPMM8WWO3/If+only+our+eyes+saw+souls.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1630318708010-LQ9EIBPZ01JD6ORJ3BVV/1.png Blog - 05 BEAUTY TIPS (re-defined) - Make it stand out There’s nothing more beautiful than a woman who is confident in her true, authentic self. I believe that there is no coincidence that the word ‘beautiful’, is known for being pronounced as: ‘Be- You - Tiful’. So, to be beautiful means to be you, to be yourself. And this is my NUMBER ONE beauty tip: BE BOLD. BE BRAVE. BE YOU. https://www.harmonyabell.com/blog/04-my-journaling-style-3-steps-to-opening-your-life-to-joy monthly 0.5 2021-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1629510057313-993O1XQBMUVQFD4WL9SA/IMG_4615.jpg Blog - 04 My journaling style: 3 Steps to opening your life to JOY. I don’t know about you, but I want to live in a state of joy and abundance (not lack). So, to do this, every morning I write down 3 things I am grateful for and WHY! They can be small and seemingly insignificant (nothing that seems insignificant ever is!) or they can be large and mind-blowing! Whatever it is, allow 3 minutes every morning to step into a state of thankfulness and watch not only your day change but your life change, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1629510244146-IAQM4F0XGF29PH059NFG/IMG_4614.jpg Blog - 04 My journaling style: 3 Steps to opening your life to JOY. For personal + private reasons, I won’t share my actual thought processes with my journaling. However, this image to the right is my words written straight after a big emotional burst (21 Aug 2021). I was stuck in a tough situation and was projecting the blame onto others. So, I decided to stop the blame game and actually look deeper - figure out what I was doing wrong and how I could make the situation a little better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1629510579328-0IWKWGC34Y5D8JTDKUMN/IMG_4616.jpg Blog - 04 My journaling style: 3 Steps to opening your life to JOY. - I love taking a sentence or two from this part of my journaling and making a quote.

She is a qualified naturopath and also a corneotherapist (special type of skin therapist). She has an amazing team of 6 talented women that work alongside her at Solstice, including a naturopath, Mel, who I see. Hayley places a high importance in taking both internal (naturopath) and external (skincare, facials etc.) measures to heal your skin from the inside out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/c13231d4-211d-4df8-a7eb-d2832f898493/IMG_8995.jpeg Stories - ALL THINGS SKIN with Hayley - Hayley has many outlets where you are able to stay updated and continue educating yourself! I will link them below. I’d also highly recommend you book in a consult with Hayley or anyone on her team (I go between Hayley & Danika- they are all amazing though) if you wish to seek professional help and heal your skin from the inside, out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/cf9d59e9-3801-479f-a6d3-af26169f5aed/1.png Stories - ALL THINGS SKIN with Hayley - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/885a5328-cb16-4281-9ef3-048db78cf93e/Harmony%27s+personalised+prescribed+skincare.png Stories - ALL THINGS SKIN with Hayley - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.harmonyabell.com/stories/jeyzas-story monthly 0.5 2021-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1593403845282-IR1NAK249BQAD6EZ4PN5/jeyza2.jpeg Stories - Jeyźa’s story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1593404995895-7K4O7GE7U4BPVWAUQ0RE/2.png Stories - Jeyźa’s story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1593403706638-V9SOBOBUUPNM9C1O9EIF/JEYZA.jpeg Stories - Jeyźa’s story - Jeyźa, now 21, is the first model with Iamellar Ichthyosis. She recently was featured on the cover of Glamour magazine for their ‘Self Love’ issue.

I never understood why swimwear was always shot on one size model. She explains, “I guess I just felt like there wasn’t really anyone owning that space and I wanted to give it a shot. Making the transition to running my own business has been tough and I have had to learn A LOT in a short space of time, but I love having my own brand to work on.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1592109853123-WOF43UMZ2G2Z64Q3BKUK/code.jpeg Stories - Bree’s story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1592095013366-2PIYVLTB4HLEOBK9GXGI/Breequote.jpeg Stories - Bree’s story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed89603364df446d1e6dd19/1592109040572-62PZ3E4BYWQF598Z93WK/BREE+WOMENS+HEALTH+.png Stories - Bree’s story - Now, Bree is one of Australia’s most sought-after curve exports. She was the first curve model to feature on the cover of Women’s Health Australia as well as the first to walk the MBFWA Runway in 2018.
