A Little Bit About Me

My name is Valerie Michel' Buck, I actually own a subscription box.  I started my own subscription box because I was disappointed at many of the available subscription boxes out there.  With that being said, I still subscribe to a few of them.  I am an entrepreneur at heart, that never goes away.  So I actually subscribe to subscription boxes that I either love the products or can make money off of the products within the box.  This blog, is informative.  It shows what products are, the value of the boxes in the real world and of course, how much you can make on them.  I have skipped the swatching, the personal views of other blogs and I'm here just to tell you what you can actually get from these item.  We don't all love everything we get, so sometimes we considering gifting these items or even selling them online.  That's why this blog is unique, I did the research for you.

Of course if you have any question, feel free to comment. I would love to hear from you.

-Valerie
