New year, new bedding. Switching out your comforter is an easy way to change the vibe in your bedroom without blowing the bank.
When it comes to getting a good night’s rest, investing in the right mattress, pillows, blankets, sheets and comforter will help you sleep better.
The obsession with finding the softest comforter has officially flooded TikTok with millions of videos recommending the softest, coziest comforters on the market, such as Buffy’s Cloud Comforter. The cozy comforter is TikTok-approved, Billboard-approved, and on sale for a limited time only.
Now’s your chance to see if the Cloud Comforter lives up to the hype — and you won’t have to pay full price. Save up to 15% off the comforter and other bedding, bundles and more during Buffy’s winter sale. The sale includes the Cloud Comforter, Cloud Pillow, Breeze Comforter and Breeze Sheet Set.
Buffy’s Cloud Comforter has a 4.8-star rating from more than 23,000 customer reviews. I’ve personally tested the Cloud Comforter and it’s a must-have, especially if you’re a hot sleeper or have overnight guests.
Why do I love the Cloud Comforter? It hits all the right notes: soft, comfortable, cooling, lightweight and extremely cozy. The eco-friendly comforter is warm enough on its own, but you can also slip it inside a duvet cover or pair it with other blankets for added coziness (it might even save you money on your heating bill).
The Cloud Comforter’s shell fabric is made from lyocell, a breathable fabric derived from eucalyptus that distributes moisture faster than cotton or linen, which means you’ll sweat less while you sleep (another plus for hot sleepers). According to the product description, the Cloud Comforter is constructed from “stacking 105 ultra-fine layers of fill” that provide full coverage and no cold spots.

Entering a new year usually comes with a fresh set of goals, whether you’re looking to live a healthier lifestyle, travel more or move into your dream apartment. Making a goal is the easy part, but maintaining the motivation to work toward it can be challenging. For some of us, having a visual reference like a vision board allows you to look at your goals and set your intentions.

Vision boards rely on manifestation to help you achieve some of your most-wanted dreams and goals. What is manifestation? Simply put, it’s the idea that you can manifest and attract visions into your life by thinking it. But thinking something won’t automatically make it happen, some work does have to be put into it like investing in fitness equipment to help strengthen your muscles.
Making a vision board also allows you to unleash your creativity while taking a moment to think of the most important things you want to work towards during the year.
Whether you’re looking for supplies or inspiration, we broke down the basics below to help you get started on your manifestation journey.
What Is a Vision Board?
Typically, a vision board consists of photos and objects you arrange yourself that will help you achieve your goals or visions in life. It can be physical or digital and is mainly used as a tool that can help you visualize your personal goals or the dream life you envision for yourself. Its versatility also enables you to switch up what you look to manifest.
Influencer and podcaster Tam Kaur also breaks down the science in an explainer video on YouTube, saying “by looking at your vision board every single day, you are basically immersing yourself into the reality that you get every single thing you want.” The effect, she goes on to say, basically tricks your brain into thinking it’s already living in a reality where you already have it and the brain will make new neural pathways “that can actually create new behaviors that help you achieve all the goals,” Kaur explained in the video.

How to Make a Vision Board
Once you have all of your supplies, you’ll want to make note of the things you want to envision for the year. The possibilities are endless when it comes to putting together your vision board. You can arrange everything however you want, the most important thing to consider though, is where you put it once all your goals are pasted onto the vision board. You’ll want to ensure it’s in a spot you can see it everyday to help you trick your brain into thinking you’re living your dream life and help make the manifestations a reality.
