Smear, Far, Wherever You Are.

Hello team! Just a quick disclaimer: Please remember that in this post, I talk about my experiences and mine alone. I understand that not everyone will have the same experience as me. Some people may experience more pain and discomfort than me. Some people may not feel any at all. Some people (probably) enjoy it. …

Way, way back around this time last year, Clark and I travelled to Edinburgh to spend his 25th birthday there. It’s his favourite city and somewhere that I was definitely eager to go back to.*   Because it was (a tiny amount) cheaper, we decided to get the train instead of flying. This turned out …

  Part One Over Here! Soon after getting home, we discovered that my parents weren’t best pleased when that surprise turned out to be a puppy. “What the bloody hell have you got a dog for?!” Said my dad “What are you going to do with him while you’re at work?” Said my mum Both …

 “I’d like to get a therapy dog,” I said, “I miss dogs. I don’t feel right without them.” I’d gone from being surrounded by dogs on all angles - working with them every day, and then coming home to our Barney every evening. All that had gone - Barney had gone to the Rainbow Bridge …

2017 – What The Hell Was That?

Well, 2017 has been a weird old year, hasn’t it? I mean, it started out with good intentions - despite a questionable entry to New Year’s Day that involved about eighteen beers, a few very strong passion fruit martinis, waking up in a room I’d never seen before, vomiting continuously into an orange B&Q bucket, …

Cherish Skincare Launch – September 2017

Back in the middle of September, I was invited to my very first brand launch! It was a bit of a surprise actually, but I jumped at the chance to get the proverbial ball rolling and getting involved with events. It was the first time I've ever really represented myself at an event of any …

I Will Die If They Discontinue Salt & Vinegar Walkers.

I have been very stressed about Walker’s most recent advertising campaign. For those who haven’t seen it, the basic principle is that they are pitting two different flavours of crisps against each other - a new one and a “best of British” one. The one that sells the most out of each pairing will be …

Creative Grooming – Cool or Cruel?

The other day, This Morning ran a feature about "furjazzling", which is a made up term for something that is already a thing. It refers to "creative grooming," which involves sculpting and colouring the coat of certain breeds (usually poodles or poodle crosses) into weird and wonderful shapes that are a long way away from …

The Trials and Tribulations of Being Diagnosed With an Incurable Illness

Up until 5th April 2017, I was a distinctly average 23 year old. Average height, average weight, slightly below average shoe size and generally nothing to write home about. I was two months into the Salon Manager promotion that I’d been pursuing for the past two years, was working full time as a dog groomer …

Not Worth Reading Vol. 2

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to Morganifesto. It's been nearly three months since the last time I posted, which is frankly, an absolutely abysmal effort. Bear with me though, for I have plenty of excuses lined up and ready to go and, in my defence, these last three months have been a …
