Tanya, who is now married to former Manchester United footballer Phil Bardsley, used to keep a pebble from the beach to make wishes for her and her daughter Gabriella.
Now, the former glamour model turned life coach has created a stylish jewelry range to tie in with her motivational self help book Just a Girl Who Got It All – How You Can Have Your All Too.
The Dreams to Reality collection is designed to act as a daily reminder for the wearer to pursue their dreams and make them become a reality.
The prices start from £35 ($53 USD) for his and hers black beaded bracelets – or both for £67 ($102 USD) – and the most expensive items are the gold or rose gold angel wings bracelets or pendant at £97 ($147 USD).
“If you stop going to the gym your body loses its shape and you also need to train the mind,” Tanya told the Manchester Evening News. “With every piece of jewelry there is a a set of instructions to guide the wearer to write down their dream and five actions they can take to start making their dreams become a reality.”
“I’ve been a single mum with no money and I used to do it with a pebble. I couldn’t buy presents for my daughter and I used to keep pebbles in my handbag, she added. “It was just 10 years ago that I used that pebble.”
Tanya, who has two young sons with Phil, added: “I think the range is affordable now but when I was a single mum nothing was affordable.”
Tanya was joined at a champagne celebration for her jewelry range by her Real Housewives of Cheshire co-stars Dawn Ward, Leanne Brown, Magali Gorre, Lauren Simon and Ampika Pickston at The Garden in Hale.
The ITVBe reality stars made a wish come true to seven-year-old Broghan White from Liverpool, who is fighting leukemia. Broghan is a fan of the Cheshire Housewives and wanted to meet them all.
“I’m so proud of Tanya she pushed me and taught me to believe in myself and she is an inspiration to many young girls, said co-star Leanne Brown.”
And Dawn said: “She’s a real grafter is Tanya. The jewellery is gorgeous and I have bought items from the range as gifts,” added Dawn Ward.
