I was scammed. Hacked. Almost locked out of my own account.
De ja vu… yes I know!!!
And it all started with what looked like an invite to a podcast I genuinely loved.
It came through my agent — so I assumed it was legit. They were tricked too. The scammers had everything: scripts, paperwork, even a brand brief. It looked polished and professional.
I never gave out my password. But I was asked to add my email to a button on a “Live Events” page — and that tiny, clever, sneaky move was enough.
Thanks to two-factor authentication, I didn’t lose full control. But I’ve still got a foreign email sitting on my account with full access — and I can’t remove it.
USA grooming legend @jessronagrooming hasn’t been so lucky. She currently has no access at all to her page. This is global. And it’s affecting creators who are just trying to do what they love — and help others along the way.
Today I shared my story on BBC South East News.
To raise awareness.
To speak out.
To help protect others.

So I gave my dog a lion’s tail… and honestly? He’s never felt more majestic. Look how cute and lion-y it is!
Nice to use the WAHL KM SUPERA for something a little extra – not just for pro-sleek finishes (although yes, bum fluff be gone), but also perfect for taming those coats that grow in 47 directions at once.
Top tip: always clip with the coat growth.
Top fact: one clipper, LOADS of possibilities.
Top floof: now identifies as a lion. Roar.
Type SUPERA below and I’ll send you the link!

Dry faster, brush better… and avoid doing an accidental upper-body workout.
There’s no point brushing one end of the floof if the air’s blowing the other way.
Follow the stream, get deeper into the coat, find any skin issues early, and protect your shoulder from falling off mid-bum fluff.
Lilo says: “Is we don’t yet?”
(She’s fine. Just a little bit dramatic.)

If loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Who else gets way too excited over shed hair? #FloofAddict #DogGroomerJoy #SheddingSeasonHeaven #Lovemud #SatisfyingGroom
When the licking doesn’t stop…Some floofs just can’t help it—and Lilo was in full tongue mode during this groom. (Full lizard energy incoming.) Licking can be a stress signal, especially during fiddly areas like the face. So before going in with scissors or trimmers, I always give the floof a moment. Let them settle, reposition, or regroup—this isn’t a rush job. This video is for trained, professional groomers only. No training? No trimming. We make it look easy—but only because we’ve done the work, gained the trust, and know what to look for. When dogs lick like this, those hairs around the mouth get pulled back in where they mix with saliva, trap food, and become harder to access. Left unmanaged, that can lead to:– Staining– Gum irritation– Inflammation– Bad breath– And even infection Here’s how I handle it:– Gently flick or comb the hairs out (yes, front and sides)– Lift the lips and check those sneaky folds– Then trim only if it’s safe to do so, and using whatever tool the floof is most okay with Do you have clients like this? Let’s swap tips!!! Any one else obsessed with Lelo’s closing thought?

Has your floof ever tried to escape out the window mid-bath?Same. Meet Kiko.10/10 for looks. 0/10 for cooperation. He’s got sensitive skin and a flair for the dramatic, so I used WAHL’s Oatmeal Shampoo and Easy Groom Conditioner—calming, soothing, and lush-smelling enough to make the drama almost worth it. Clean coat. Soft floof. One very theatrical exit. Want the product link?Just type “oatmeal” in the comments and I’ll ping it over to you. #Sponsored@WahlUK #FloofyButDelicate #SensitiveSkinCare #WahlGrooming #LovemudApproved #EscapeArtistEnergy

📢✨ Add Volume to the Muzzle—WITHOUT a Blow Dryer! ✂️🐶 Not all floofs love a full blow-dry, especially around their ears and face! 😅 Buddy the Cockapoo isn’t a fan, but I still want to add volume to his muzzle without stressing him out.💡 Here’s my trick: ✅ Use a comb to separate and straighten the damp muzzle hairs ✅ This prevents clumping, increases the surface area of each hair, and helps them dry quicker ✅ Then let it dry naturally while you dry the rest of the dog - serious relaxation for Buddy! ✅ Finish with curved thinners to perfect that cute, round teddy muzzle look ✂️ This simple method keeps the floof comfortable & looking floofy-fabulous! 🐶✨Would your dog sit still for this? Does ya floof permit face drying!???#Cockapoo #Doodle #Lovemud #DogGroomingTips #DogGrooming #Groomers #FluffyDogs #DogCare #GroomingTricks #ProfessionalGroomer
