I love reading stories like this. They started out small. And they had such a simple concept, too. I also think they have a real honest to goodness passion for their business. All their marketing and advertising came from blogs and local papers… It’s a great story. Thanks for sharing!

Its a good feeling leaving the restroom without being worried or embarassed by what may have been left behind. If you know what I mean. You go girls! Perfect product for men and woman alike. To come this far in such a short amount of time is totally AMAZING! Keep up the good work!

Not only is this an inspiring venture but what an awesome product they’ve produced. What I thought would be a product I’d personally use, it has become a favorite of my entire family! I’m so proud of these two girls from Hawaii for showing the rest of the world that although we are a small state, we produce top quality entrepreneurs! Keep your dream alive, Jamee and Sherilyn, all of Hawaii is proud of you!

I have personally used Poof drops and it is amazing! I no longer have to anticipate someone walking into the bathroom and being “surprised” at the smell. Ever since I discovered Poof drops, I do not go anywhere without it. I can carry it in my pocket or purse since it is so small and discrete. Once you try Poof drops, trust me, you will always carry it with you and wish everyone would too! I wish Sherilyn Luke and Jamee Kunichika the best of luck in their business! I know it will be success!

Poof is the best toilet odor deodorizer on the market! It works wonderfully and comes in a discreet yet attractive bottle. I keep a bottle with me at all times!

As a retailer of the Poof product, we have seen great success. Our customers know this product works. I’ve tried it and I know it works. Jamee and Sherilyn have been a pleasure to work with and have provided better customer support than many of my “full-time” suppliers.

You never know where or when you’ll have a good business idea. For the entrepreneurs out there, you should always be ready for an opportunity, you never know where or when it’ll hit you. Both Yahoo! and Google started off as projects by college “kids.” In some universities there are contests for entrepreneurs as well, it’s probably one the best places to find not only a business idea, but your business partner as well!

I’ve tried this product and it works great, especially at the workplace public restroom where you really want to be discreet. I admire these two women who didn’t just dream about a business but went out and created a successful one.

I have been using this product for the past year and have given it to friends and family. My family can’t find this in the stores on the Mainland so I mail them to family members. It is great in the home, office and just to carry around with you. I have tried other brands but this is the best by far.

I have never been more excited to use a toilet deodorizer until I used Poof. It works wonderfully. I know that Poof will be a great succuss. Try it! You will be hooked! I am so happy for Jamee and Sheri.

Wow! Great success story!
POOF is perfect for the Holidays when you really have to do your business at your in-laws’ house. You wouldn’t want to leave the wrong impression. When are you coming out with tutti-fruitty?

I have worked with Sheri for the last several years, and followed the life of POOF from the beginning. I have learned so much from her entrepreneurial spirit - using ideas and hard work to create opportunities. POOF is in our bathroom and works great - long live POOF!

Ideas come and go. Jamee and Sherilyn took action and made investments. I respect that kind of heart and guts. I haven’t tried the product but I plan on purchasing some soon.

Poof! is a great product! I have one in each of my bathrooms at home and I never forget to take it with me on trips when I am sharing a hotel room with friends. This was a great business idea!

I worked with Sheri for 3 years and I remember the day when she said she was going to develop POOF. Sheri is incredibly enthusiastic about the product and demonstrates the characteristics of a true entrepreneur. POOF is a terrific product! I have one in my bathroom and carry one in my purse everywhere I go. I don’t know what I would do without it!

I have been using Poof for over a year and this product is wonderful. It smells great, looks good, and it is discreet. I no longer have to worry about being embarassed when visiting the restroom. I have also given Poof as Christmas gifts to both men and women. It is a perfect stocking stuffer. I give much credit to these two ladies for not only having a great product, but also for taking action on their dream! Congratulations to both of them on their success!

I really love this product! I like the variety of fragrances that do more than just mask the odor. But, what I really think sets it a part from any other type of toilet drops is it’s cute, discreet packaging. No one would ever suspect what it’s function is, and I think that’s great, especially for women.

Sherry and Jamee are really on to something here. When I make a stinky Poof makes it go away. Who could ask for anything more!

POOF! The first time I got it, I laughed. Then I tried it. Now it’s the first thing I think of when I walk into a stall. Sheri’s enthusiasm about this product is incredible, and rightfully so. She’s worked hard, and yet effectively to make this venture a success.

What an inspiring story. Makes me want to open up my own business! Poof is absolutely the best toilet odor deodorizer I have ever used! On top of that, it’s small enough to put in my purse and take it with me wherever I go or I can even use it at home and it’s not so noticeable on the purpose of the product to help reduce any embarassing moments. Jamee Kunichika and Sherilyn Luke are absolutely amazing and I look up to people who have entrepreneurial spirit and no matter how challenging it seems, they still make it happen. Completely agree with Jamee on believing anything is possible and to take it one step at a time to reach your goals and to not give up.

I feel that “Poof” is an excellent product, and I speak on behalf of my entire family. Not only does the product work like it says it does, the different fragrances that you can choose from appeal to all ages. I have given it as Christmas gifts with a roll of toilet paper, and people were so grateful! It is amazing how Jamee and Sheri manage to keep their full-time jobs and run this business on the side! Congratulations you guys-I’m so proud of you! Shannon

Poof is a wonderful product! I work in an office with about twenty women and we all share a restroom. It can sometimes be embarassing but with Poof I never have to worry. Thank you Jamee and Sheri for creating a product that EVERYONE should carry.

I was introduced to “Poof” at the LA Gift Show earlier this year. I was impressed with the product. Being a young woman who aspires to have a succesful business, I’m glad to see Sherilyn and Jamee succeed. It is a story like this that keeps me motivated and hopeful of my own company. Thank you Sherilyn and Jamee.

Only 26 more days until Christmas! At only $10 each, Poof is the perfect stocking stuffer (www.poofdrops.com). I bought it for all my friends and family last year, and now they’re asking for it again this year! It’s discrete and it works. It smells way better than those stinky pine forest/ammonia Japanese drops. The Japanese Mint scent is refreshing, and Tuscan Orange smells like Jamba Juice — and the best part, no one smells the poo! These two women are inspirational and creative - they are living the dream. Here’s wishing you both continued success! Here’s wishing the rest of you no more smelly, embarrassing poo!

Sheri and Jamee are shining examples of the entrepreneurial spirit. They don’t get scared off by one or two set backs - they keep the big picture in mind, and keep moving forward. They willingly share their success stories and their challenges with others — inspiring and mentoring them to become entrepreneurs themselves. I am one of those people who their positive attitude and energetic drive has rubbed off on. I’ve been flying independent with no regrets for a year now thanks to their support and encouragement!

POOF is perfect for stinky POOP! My family loves Mexican food but we totally end up paying the price (if you know what I mean). With POOF, I can eat as many tacos as I want without the embarassment of wondering what those around me are thinking. I am now a confident public bathroom patron! Way to go, Ms Luke and Ms Kunichika! You girls are rockstars!

Discrete, easy, convenient. Travels well! Small bottle lasts almost forever! Handy around the house too. Sprays kill the environment and leave a heavy scent after. Poof is so much better.

This is a great story of two individuals chasing their dreams and doing it with “Passion”! We’ve known Sheri and Jamee for almost 10 years, and have always been impressed by their “can do” attitude. As mentioned in the article, both of them have a full plate - career and personally, yet they are still able to focus themselves in producing and distributing a product that is more user friendly than their “clorox” smelling competitors. Poof! is an awesome product that can be used by everyone!
