Beetroot Chippies

This recipe is one of my new favourites. Although beware. The beetroot will stain your hands something shocking. There are a gazillion things worse than flaunting pink-tinged flesh on your palms. I figure it’s a small price to pay.

Natural selfies are the best kind of selfies

You may be expecting that today’s post is where I’ll be getting up on my little soap box and banging on about animal cruelty and make-up testing or perhaps about the many chemicals that we voluntarily lather upon our bodies, especially our faces, each day.
