, stocking with it her lashes and makeup for locals to buy in person. Last year, she generated $84,074 in online sales and $13,607 in vending-machine sales, amounts Insider verified with documentation. She has four other vending machines today and, in, signed a lease for a storefront in Caldwell, Idaho, which she plans to open on April 15. I started a side hustle that turned into my own businessI was a stay-at-home mom, in this repeat pattern at home, and I needed to get out.
I started my business with $800 and used a credit card to finance it. I racked up credit-card debt starting this business, but it wasn't a big amount. Leyva Beauty started with just lashes because that's the only thing I could afford, but little by little, I started adding cosmetics. It was about three months in when I saw that people wanted to buy from me. Then I wanted to add more to the table for products. I started with a lip gloss and grew from there. Leyva signed a lease for her storefront in February and plans to open her shop in April.My first vending machine was in Caldwell, Idaho, at a marketplace called Oakes Brothers. It gave me a year lease, and I was bringing in so much clientele for them.
That's when I started venturing out to Boise, Idaho. I ended up relocating to an indoor food court called Chow. That vending machine has done even better than it did in Caldwell.
Hell that's barely enough money breath in Bidens economy.
