Known as Latieshajbackup on TikTok, she has gone viral with a recent video that's racked up over 64,700 views since June 12th.
In it, she revealed that she had been sucking on mints to sell them on.
She revealed that he had sucked on several different mints, then let them dry out, before then adding them back into the pot and sending them off for delivery.
And although some had slightly "disintegrated" she still sent them off in the hope they will get posted in time for him so they are still intact.
Throughout the video, Latiesha offers a little insight into her process.
"So I only actually put probably about 24, 25 of these in my mouth, but you can see that they kind of all look a bit weird, so I guess it's more of a little puzzle on which one is which, so he can figure that out."
She then goes on to explain that she prefers her mints to be a bit "sticky."
Latiesha revealed that her customer will be paying her for these mints.
She revealed that she uses Smints as they are her favourite ones and this makes her customers feel a 'bit more special.'
Latiesha explained that she won't go and buy any random mint just because she'll want to give the person a touch.

She then revealed that those mints made her £500.
Latiesha's video gained 18 comments, as many people rushed to share their views.
One joked: 'It was mint to be! Get that bag.'
Another suggested: 'Vacuum seal the ones instead of leaving them in a pot and they will stay in the same condition babe.'
While someone else wrote: 'Iconic baby.'
We previously revealed how Latiesha earns £5,000 a week by selling her toe nail clippings and spit.
The 24-year-old previously appeared on This Morning to discuss how she became an entrepreneur in such an unconventional industry.
She shared that while studying at university, aspiring to be a doctor, she started looking into ways to make extra cash.
This led her to OnlyFans, which was just gaining traction at the time.
It was there that she encountered her first unusual request: a man willing to buy a vial of her spit or shower water.
Latiesha admitted her initial scepticism, but soon discovered an entire online community "that like weird and odd stuff."
Since that first £40 tube of spit, Latiesha has built up a steady online clientele.
She now averages £400 to £500 per item, with her most expensive sale, another vial of spit, fetching an incredible £1,500 from a long-term client.

Shoppers race to get their hands on B&M's new home collection – it's ‘giving Zara Home but on a budget'

Plus, some top tips on how to add more value to your home SOFT TOUCH Shoppers race to get their hands on B&M's new home collection – it's 'giving Zara Home but on a budget' SHOPPERS are flocking to B&M to get their hands on their new home collection that is 'giving Zara Home but on a budget.' One homeowner has shown off her haul proving that you don't need a huge budget to transform your living space. 3 B&M's homeware is being praised for how chic it looks Credit: Alamy 3 A woman shared a video on TikTok showing off her latest haul Credit: tiktok/@reynoldsresidence It seems B&M is stepping up its game, offering chic pieces that give that modern aesthetic touch to your home. The homeowner, who is known as 'reynoldsresidence' on TikTok, shared her top picks she found at her local B&M store. She managed to get her hands on a small, ribbed candle in a speckled cup, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to shelves or coffee tables. She also discovered a wonderfully soft throw, priced at just a tenner, that "honestly feels like cashmere." Its two-tone, wave design makes it a versatile piece for draping over a sofa or adding comfort to a bedroom. Another standout find was a small woven basket, a mere £4, which she plans to use for flannels in her new bathroom. She also raved about a textured, cement-like decor piece for £5, suggesting it's ideal for holding a small candle and praising its "rugged and kind of neutral vibes." Candles and diffusers were clearly a focus, with the TikToker picking up a ceramic jar candle for £5, noting its "luxury on a budget" feel, and a glass candle and matching diffuser with striking white and brown stripes, each just £4. However, the "piece de resistance" of her haul was a statement lamp, costing £20. The lamp, with its neutral shade, textured base, and waved design, perfectly fit the bill. I restored a tatty £80 sofa I got on Facebook - trolls say it looked better before but they need to trust the process Shared on 5 June, the video from @reynoldsresidence has already amassed over 264,800 views and 96 comments as many people rush to share their thoughts. One wrote: 'There's bits in here that will give the expensive vibe and bits that shout B&M. 'The blanket and the basket shout B&M. 'No expensive house would have a star shaped basket or a pattern on the blanket. Plus that label on the candle shouts B&M.' A second added: 'Everything looks lovely! Not everyone can afford Zara.' 3 Loved that it looked similar to the Zara Home collection Credit: tiktok/@reynoldsresidence And a third commented: 'Loved the haul, definitely taking a look in my B&M tomorrow.' B&M has just dropped its new "Quiet Luxury" homeware range, and it includes a highly anticipated Stanley cup dupe among other chic finds. Perfect for kitting out your kitchen or grabbing stylish essentials for days in the office, the range offers sophisticated designs at budget-friendly prices. You can pick up a lowball glass with a 3D pink bow in the base for just £3. To complete the look, a set of six glass drinking straws, also featuring a bow detail and coming with a cleaning brush, is available for the same price. For those on the go, a glass travel mug with a bow pattern, reminiscent of the trendy Stanley cups, can be yours for just £3.
