Our Backstory

If you notice that your daily coffee ritual is often accompanied by a timely bowel movement, you’re not alone. For some people this can be an inconvenience, but for others, coffee can be one way of keeping regular. Some coffee drinkers will readily feel this gastrointestinal effect, some less so.

I am one of those people who run to the bathroom four minutes after my first coffee of the day. That first coffee does not have to be my morning coffee, because I work in the BPO industry -- and if you're in the Philippines, that means working nights, which also means having coffee throughout your shift to keep you awake. Piece those two together and yes, I poop at work.

My name is Raine Rafael and I'm the founder and owner of Toot Fairy Bathroom & Beyond.

History

• June 22, 2019 - Toot Fairy Toilet Spray was set up.
• June 26, 2019 - Toot Fairy Toilet Spray was launched with its flagship product and signature scent Green Tea & Cucumber.
• June 27, 2019 - The first batch was SOLD OUT!
• June 29, 2019 - Toot Fairy Toilet Spray launched two limited edition scents: Grapefruit & Black Pepper and Rosemary & Mint.

FUN FACT - I am definitely NOT a chemist, but I handmix every 50ml solution of Toot Fairy Toilet Spray and they are bottled and labeled at the same day to ensure the quality and accurate ratio of the ingredients.

• June 30, 2019 - We announced that we will be using glass bottles moving forward to lessen the waste, but our clients retaliated because the glass bottles are fragile and heavier, so we reverted back to using plastic bottles. We do encourage them to recycle and refill their bottles for a discounted price.
• July 06, 2019 - We made our first ad and my work BFF, Shai, starred in it.

• July 14, 2019 - We teased about our new linen and room mist range, as requested by our frequent-customers!

I also sat down with a local vlogger and answered these questions:

1. How did you get the idea or concept for the business?
2. To what do you attribute the success of your business?
3. What are your goals for your business?
4. What is unique about the business?
5. What made you choose this type of business?

I just cropped the vlog, but if you wanna watch the entire video, click here.

Thank you so much for reading what has been our journey thus far. There are still a lot of exciting things that happened to us for the rest of July and since August kicked off, which we will be sharing with you real soon!

Stay fresh!
