If you’ve ever walked into a Deciem store and wondered how you can get that calming smell into your home too, well, you’re in luck. Today, Deciem is rolling out its Abnomaly, Shop home fragrance after years of customers asking for it. The scent has serious emotional roots. It was created by the company’s late founder, Brandon Truaxe. Abnomaly, Shop was created with Truaxe’s friend and perfumer Azzi Glasser and she’s speaking out about this passion project.

“Brandon knew that smell is a tricky sense to convey through space, especially invisibly, and briefed me to create a fragrance that could transport one directly into the world of Deciem,” she said in an interview the brand shared with STYLECASTER. “He wanted a feeling of being lifted into a comforting, cozy bubble with a touch of edginess.”

This cumulated into top notes of Black Poivre enhanced by Cypress oil, Iso E Super and chalk, warm notes of Guaicwood, Sequoia, and fresh Cedar, as well as balsamic notes of Labdanum resin, White Amber Crystals, White Musk and patchouli.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Glasser explains how a room scent has a completely different function to a skin scent. “When I composed and sculpted the formulation for Abnomaly Shop, I knew it would need to perform well in large areas,” she says. “The strength had to be at a level that permeates well into the atmosphere so it can give the emotional feeling and work its magic through diffusion in the space.”

Her favorite places to use Abnomaly, Shop are in the home entrance and the main living space, but if you’re anything like us, you’ll spray it all around your bedroom, too. Where don’t we need a little grounding? Abnomaly, Shop is available now and if it’s anything like Deciem’s other launches, is sure to sell out. 

The Smith family keeps it pretty private but one thing we know they all have in common is how much they care for their community and the environment. A quick glance at their social media pages will show you that. It makes perfect sense that Jada Pinkett Smith, along with her family, would launch Hey Humans, a sustainable, personal care line. Of course, it’s also affordable so it’s accessible for the Smith’s audience.

Pinkett Smith is the creative director and co-founder of Hey Human. She’s hawking deodorant, body wash, body lotion and toothpaste (so far) that’s sustainable from the inside out. Each is made from vegan, cruelty-free and naturally derived ingredients made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates and silicones.

The packaging is not only cute but also made from aluminum and paper so each is fully recyclable. Many products are made from PCR plastic that sometimes can’t be recycled.

Your financial ducks are in a row. You’re staying on top of your health. You’ve lined up your leisure activities and added notable dates to your calendar. Still, after doing all that, you feel like there’s more to consider. Reinvention takes some work.

Times have changed. There’s no longer a magic age for retirement, and some of us will never retire in the traditional sense of the word. We don’t feel 65. Or 75. And we don’t define ourselves by whatever age we are.

Unlike previous generations, for us this season of life requires some planning that has little to do with our bank accounts. We realize we need to make shifts in our mindset as we change our lifestyles.

We need to stay flexible. And we must be willing to experiment with what works for us… and be willing to stumble along the way.

There’s no quick fix to retiring happily. But I have a simple checklist of suggestions that can make this transition easier.

Keep a Gratitude Journal

The mindful practice of keeping a gratitude journal serves us beautifully when we retire. It allows us to reflect on – and savor – what’s going well in our lives despite dramatic change.

Transition to retirement isn’t seamless, but if we take time for reflection and keep a thankful heart, we’ll uncover some promising possibilities.

Talk with Three People a Day

We depend on our work relationships more than we realize. Moving through the world without them can feel isolating.

Engage in conversations regularly… in line at the pharmacy, while shopping in the produce section, as you walk around your neighborhood. Flex your connection muscles. You’ll become increasingly more open to new relationships. You’ll be stronger for it.

Make a List of All the Ways You’ve Contributed

When we reflect on our past accomplishments, we reveal channels for how to remain useful. We begin to connect the dots between what’s given our lives meaning in the past and how we can continue living purposefully.

And we have more to add to that gratitude journal.

Discover One New Thing About Your Local Community Every Week

When we’re busy working, we don’t always take advantage of other opportunities to engage, even when those are as close as our own backyards.

Read local papers and flyers. Subscribe to local news feeds via email. Sign up for local social media groups. Attend community meetings and events. We don’t have to jump into a whole new world. Stepping out into our immediate surroundings is a good place to start.

Come Out of Your Comfort Zone Once a Month

I was never a ‘joiner,’ but I fought that tendency after I quit working because, like all of us, I need face-to-face interactions.

The virtual community at Sixty and Me is the gold standard for connection. You can also browse Meetup groups. Attend a lecture at the local library or college. Go to the opening of a new business. Join a class.

We may have to reach beyond the security of built-in work and family relationships, but making meaningful connections is worth the risk.

Take Your Time

Some of us, myself included, began defining what our retirement would look like while we were still working. Some of us just needed time to breathe once we left the workplace.

Whatever your approach to retirement, if it feels authentic, peaceful and unforced, then it’s okay. Permission granted to do things your way. The discovery phase should be fun, energizing and enlivening!

Remain curious. Rest. And as you catch your breath, keep your eye out for what might be next.

Get Help from Someone You Trust

The time between where we were and where we’re going can be confusing, even frightening. Sometimes we stall no matter how many things we try.

You’ll probably experience normal fall-out from this major life change and need encouragement or a bit of problem-solving. If it’s more complicated than that, an objective listener can help you shine a little light on your situation.

You don’t have to go it alone. Seek input from a wise friend, a coach or even a therapist.

Our personal checklists for how to be happy during retirement will evolve along with us. It’s important that we remain responsible for our own growth and practice self-compassion during the unfolding.

And rely on each other along the way.

How are you handling retiring from full-time work? What are you doing to make reinvention a little easier? Please join the conversation and share any tips you have discovered along the way!
