Thank Frock It's Friday! (Uh... Monday!) ♥

If you're clicking here for the first time, WELCOME! Every Friday (well, today it's Monday. Oops!) we celebrate the fact that - ding, ding! - it's Friday, and our favourite things (an exquisite new bronze-hued nail polish? Empty muesli bar wrappers?! Okay, it's probably not the latter...) from the week that was. Here's what I'm currently loving!

x Wacky Winter-Bug Blitzing Recipes - When you're sickly, you'll try almost ANYTHING to feel all splendid again, won't you? From gargling salt water to remedy a sore throat (ewww!) to popping a pill to abolish a headache (ugh), if it promises to restore us back to health, we'll typically toy with it, so when a gentleman recommended swigging a tea consisting of fresh ginger, turmeric powder and cumin seeds, I was apprehensive, but curious...

Boiling up a brew of goodness (vileness?!) that's SWORN to get rid of any pesky colds and flus: turmeric powder, ginger and cumin seeds! (Tremble, tremble!)

 Showcasing my enjoyment of the aforementioned "get well soon" tea. (I kid! Honest-to-goodness, it wasn't THAT bad...)

... and would you believe it?! By day four (after wailing dramatically on my first day of being ill ''quick, somebody plan my funeral: I have THE PLAGUE!''), I was feeling 110% better! Magic!

x Attending A Beer Tasting At The Local Taphouse, Darlinghurst - Because sniffles or no sniffles, when a lovely lass conducting (paid! SCORE!) market research invites you to an evening of lager swilling at a venue you've never traipsed through before, you're hardly going to refuse, are you? Heavens, no! 

x Afternoons In Auburn - Spent laughing hysterically, sipping cider in the sunshine and inhaling out-of-this-WORLD home-cooked Nepalese cuisine. (Pictured above? Potato, mushroom and jackfruit - yes, jackfruit! Have you ever heard of this peculiar delicacy? I certainly hadn't before yesterday! - curry. Pictured below? Rice pudding infused with cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. DROOL!)

Sydney city. (Who loves Sydney? I love Sydney!)

x Other Little Things - Boys who sport bow-ties (doesn't my friend Chris look completely adorable in his?); Empire Of The Sun's We Are The People (it and my iPod's 'previous/rewind' button have TOTALLY been best buddies this week); nabbing a delightful wee plum frock for $39 (and on a side-note, isn't plum such a glorious colour to wear during the colder weather?! I love it!); c-u-t-e-n-e-s-s (''I told him that I love you, Corrine!''); giggling on the train; bold, brave and brilliant posts (this is fantastic); and Sydney, Sydney, Sydney. I swear, I will never tire of this extraordinary city!

♥

Happy, happy Friday! (Uh, MONDAY!) How was your week?
