YouTube History
On December 24, 2011, Tanya uploaded her first YouTube video which was a lip dub to Taylor Swift's popular track, "Mine." From December 2011 to February 2012, Tanya was very inactive. In March 2012, Tanya began to post travel vlogs of herself in San Francisco, New York City and Disney World. Soon after, she uploaded her first big hit video which was a My Strange Addiction parody that received a lot of negative comments at first, due to a rumour that it was a real episode. It wasn't until March 2013 when Tanya became more active on her channel. From August 2013 to March 2014, Tanya also uploaded every Tuesday on  SimpleCollab. In September 2013, Tanya began uploading videos every 2–3 days on her main channel. After an entire year of keeping up with a 2-3 day consecutive schedule, which is increasingly more than the average YouTuber, Tanya retired to uploading only on Saturdays due to being accepted into a film university in October 2014.

Tanya's channel began to rapidly grow in June 2013 when her Smoothie Challenge went viral across YouTube. In July 2013, Tanya hit 1,000 subscribers. The trend continued as she hit 2,000 in August 2013, 3,000 in September 2013, and 4,000 in October 2013. In January 2014, for the first time ever, Tanya hit both of the 6,000 and 7,000 subscriber milestone marks in a single month. On April 2, 2014, Tanya hit 10,000 subscribers.
