Design and color are features that I consider when shopping for new bedding. I like to have a few comforters and duvets so I can refresh my bedroom every few months. Aside from color and design, the softness and comfort is a main feature I consider as well. My newest duvet cover comes from Villa Cotton and it is like art on a soft luxury bed linen. Just take a look at the bedding designs!

Your duvet or comforter is kept inside the duvet covers with buttons on one side. The buttons attach into a fold of the seam. This way the buttons are hidden and tucked away from feel or view within the cover. I have the Grafica design. Villa Cotton has duvet cover like mine as well as comforters and sheet sets. My duvet cover also came with 2 matching shams so I get that complete bed look. It is easy to refresh your space by just changing colors of the bedding or curtains. I changed out the navy from my standard bedroom set for this white and grey Grafica duvet set from Villa Cotton. It really changes this space, like a bit of art on my bed!

There is so much more to Villa Cotton besides these beautiful designs that came from the inspirations of Italy (Como). They proudly carry an Oeko-Tex certification, which means their products are made without the use of harmful chemicals.

Every time an order is placed on their website, they dedicate a portion of the profits to plant a tree through One Tree Planted. They also support the SOS Children’s Village in Lahore, Punjab, near their production base. You not only get Italian art prints and the softest quality linen, you also support some great causes. It is more than bedding because it is now a conversation piece. Visit Villa Cotton and order a set for you and as a Holiday gift for someone who would love to add this style to their rooms!

A comforter with Jade embedded in the fabric? This Arc-Chill Stretch Fabric Cooling Comforter by Elegear is a game changer for hot and warm sleepers! Whether you need to stay cool in a hot room or you naturally sleep hot, this comforter uses Japanese Arc-Chill cool technology fabric to keep you cool. You will not ‘get cold’, but it has this silky-soft feel that absorbs and releases body heat, and reduce skin temperature by 2-5°C instantly. The best mattress for hot side sleepers does work for a more relaxed sleep. I find that when you are wrapped in the comforter for a while and you naturally begin to find warmth, I just lift up and drop it back down and I get that instant cool again. It really does work for a cooler sleep.

The fabric feels thin and lightweight, but the comfort is better than the fluffiest cover you may have. It is deceiving to look at and feel its lightness then wrap up in it and be blown away at how comfortable it is. Both sides are made with the cooling fabric and you do not sweat or have static. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified and is friendly to sensitive skin.It comes in 2 sizes – a full size and queen size.

The comforter is filled with DARCON fibers to form a 3-D hollow structure which works well in adjusting the humidity and temperature. This helps keep the body from getting too cold while working to keep the heat away. The fiber stays in place with the single needle stitching and although you can wash kit, you need to let it air dry only. This is truly a great comforter choice that arrives wrapped and boxed to make it great for gift giving.

The big project for our summer was renovating the backyard. In a space the dogs would tear up in grass and drag in mud and dirt, we had a patio poured. Then we got lucky and bought our cedar gazebo just before lumber prices skyrocketed. It took a bit of effort to build and erect, but once we finished it was time for furniture shop. I had a fire table and bought furniture. Since then I have been finding access pieces to make the space complete. My favorite addition is The Bonfire Bluetooth Speaker that gives me ambient lighting and quality sound.

I simply got a hook and found a spot to hang it. It is weather/water resistant so I could hang it anywhere around the gazebo. I like to keep it low enough so I can get to the controls and grab it for a charge. At full charge I can get 30 hours out of just the light. Using it as a light and speaker, I get about 7 hours. It is plenty if I am hosting a dinner or BBQ for outdoor music.

The flame ambiance is real nice, especially at night. It does a great job flickering to resemble flame. You can also choose a second mode to have it stay lit without flicker or have the light off and use just as a speaker. The +/- buttons control both sound and track selections. Each speaker comes with USB charging cable that can be used with any phone charger or USB charging unit.

The sound from this speaker is impressive. You can head to the Spice of Life website to learn more about The Bonfire Bluetooth Speaker as well as other products you will love. Also find this on Amazon.
