In April 2015, Kalmia Traver (Kalbells, Rubblebucket) had just come out of an intensive 2-month writing retreat with 27 songlets in hand, 10 of which would become Kalbells debut album Ten Flowers. Jeremy Malvin (Chrome Sparks) loved what she shared with him then, and the two began regular co-production sessions in his studio in Brooklyn, where classical percussion ensemble So Percussion also worked. Drawing inspiration from the abundance of acoustic sound-makers all around, Jeremy performed marimbas, cactus shakers, and massive bass drums, while Kal layered flute arpeggios, penny whistles, and saxophones through tape echo to make smooth harmonic waves of rainbow velvet layer cake. They pretended to be an orchestra. Lyrically, the Mothertime EP sees Kal processing themes she has been continually chewing on in the 6-year wake of surviving ovarian cancer and transforming a codependent relationship wither her long-time music partner Alex Toth (TOth, Rubblebucket): resilience, yielding, beckoning creativity, self-exploration, and joy."Cool and Bendable" was inspired by a dream in which she held her yet-unborn child, but as Kal finished writing the song in the studio with Jeremy, she realized it was actually about holding herself, a body, a life. "Supple, strong, funny: a person, a being," she says. "I also think I was celebrating in awe the general aliveness of our world, Earth." "Mothertime," is about her mother and their relationship, which she describes as her most cherished learning-grounds. "It's about the bewildering beauty and uncanniness of the fact that we can keep growing & changing so much, cueing off each other across our two mobius-entwined lifetimes." The EPs final two tracks, "Precipice" and "Tremble," are both about the struggle of being in a codependent relationship: the sadness of neglect, the zing of excitement during a bitter fight, the addictive explosion of energy that feels momentarily gratifying but isn't ultimately what one is searching for, truly, and the cyclical realization (and perhaps, denial) of harming oneself or others. "It's something I feel proud to have moved and grown through," she says, "and I hope writing about it can be a form of revealing the illusion, and healing."

This is such a fun little product.
Color: Diamond White
This is such a fun little product. The shimmer is really pretty and fine, not chunky or glittery in a bad way. It gives a nice glow without looking overdone. Super easy to apply and a little goes a long way. I’ve used it on my face and collarbones and it looks great in different lighting. For the price, I’m honestly impressed.

Glitter Puffs
Color: Late Autumn, Color: Late Autumn
*Poof* and then there was glitter. Boko Highlighter Powder Spray, Body Shimmer Spray for Glitter Highlighter Makeup makes it as easy as squeezing a bulb. The biggest part of the assembly of the product is to male sure you remove the plastic cap and the rubber tipped end. If you miss either the spray will seem to not work. Once properly set up the powder spray bottle only takes a modest squeeze to dust the skin with instant glitter and glory. I love the look, the easy to use spray, and the bottle itself which has a simple but elegant feel to it!

Extremely fine shimmer- the air bulb works well for application- Even and controllable
Color: Late Autumn
This is a great way to apply a very fine sparkle. The shimmer is very very finely ground and it sprays out evenly with this air bulb. It does have a lid so there's no chance on it getting everywhere unless you leave the lid off. It also comes with a little plug in the hole so there's two mechanisms there to keep the glitter in the bottle when not in use it's very easy to use and apply and the spray pattern is very even. I got the golden shimmer which looks great with a tan or if you have warmer undertones in your skin. It doesn't require any sort of setter or glue + doesn't have any fragrance. It's a small bottle so it doesn't take up a lot of room.

Exceeded My Expectations
Size: 1PCS, Color: Holo Silver
Love love LOVEEE. I feel like a fairy! You only need a short spritz to get a perfect amount of glitter. The sparkles are beautiful, rainbowy and long lasting. I sprayed some on me yesterday and it's still going strong. It dries quickly and really gets those sparkles down. Even if you rub the part of you that's been glittered, it sticks! It doesn't even have a chemically smell, it's kind of flowery? Which I totally didn't expect. However I would recommend spraying yourself outside because the glitter gets all over the house. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my floor will forever be glittered.
