NICE TO MEET YOU

Hi, I'm Shoned Owen. I'm a wife and mother of twin-girls. I’m the face behind Tanya Whitebits hence why I am otherwise known as Tanya! My strap line by now is that I’m TANYA NOT TANYA and the name confusion is often followed by laughter.

 

TANYA NOT TANYA is an online diary that compliments my business as Founder to fake tan brand Tanya Whitebits.

 

For Britain’s small business owners, there’s long been a tradition in the UK of attracting shoppers with nothing but an ironic name and I am proud to be part of this tradition.

 

I also love puns and some of my favourite business names are a Fish and Chip Shop called 'The CodFather' a bakery called 'Bread Pitt' and a wine shop called 'Planet of the Grapes' to name but a few.

​

My Instagram account was originally established to run alongside my brand account but I have since developed my own brand partnerships. Thanks to my audience trusting and engaging with my Instagram account I have created a surge in demand for a blogging platform covering topics that range from fashion, beauty, travel and lifestyle. TANYA NOT TANYA has a proven track record of brand exposure and continues to grow in interest and following.

​

In the words of Marilyn Monroe: “It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring!” And I love this motto too as it’s what makes each of us authentic.
