The Things I Use

Things that make life, travel, comfort, or joy a little better.

This is Cheryl's curated collection of products, tools, comforts, travel companions, books, and joyful finds that she personally uses, enjoys, or has intentionally vetted.

No random product parade. No pretending everything changed my life. Just useful, comforting, interesting, or plain-old-good things gathered in one place.

Affiliate disclosure. Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you purchase through them, Cheryl may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not determine whether an item is included. Recommendations reflect Cheryl's personal use, experience, or clearly labeled vetting process.

Shop Principles

How things earn a place here

  • Actually Used

    Cheryl personally uses the item or has meaningful direct experience with it.

  • Thoughtfully Vetted

    When direct use is not possible, the item is included only after intentional review. The difference is clearly labeled.

  • Why It Is Here

    Each recommendation should explain what Cheryl likes, who may find it useful, and any meaningful limitations.

  • Honest Boundaries

    A recommendation is not a medical claim, guarantee, or promise that an item will work for everyone.

Categories

Three collections, one honest shelf.

  • Travel & Accessible Luxury

    Travel tools, packing companions, comfort items, organization, accessible-travel finds, and products that make the journey feel more thoughtful.

  • Migraine & Sensory Comfort

    Items Cheryl uses or has vetted for light, noise, comfort, travel days, rest, and sensory support.

    These products are not treatments or medical recommendations. Individual triggers, conditions, and needs vary.

  • McJoyful Things

    Books, journals, creative supplies, warm comforts, useful oddities, and things that bring Cheryl joy or make everyday life feel a little better.
