I've been sick all week and feel like curling up in bed and dying, or at least sleeping for a very long time.

While I do that, here's some Sunday morning inspiration. This week it's all about fleeting public transport romances, chasing the sun, and Rihanna, because anything she touches is gold.

Hope your Sunday is healthier than mine.

I am still struggling to understand the icy mornings of a Melbourne winter, defiantly padding about the kitchen without socks, my bare toes as frozen as the ground outside;I am always one sweater short of being warm, or one pair of tights away from being comfortable, leaving the house in an optimistic t-shirt and jeans only to discover that even sunshine can be cold in this arctic city.

Despite my ignorance when it comes to temperatures below 18⁰C, I have embraced one wintery habit to get me through the dark mornings and seasonal colds. After a few weeks of studying, exams, and, most importantly, post-exam parties, I was feeling and looking dreadful. Enter what could be called a detox tea, though it really is just a nice way to start the day. With dandelion, fresh ginger, lemon, cinnamon, and a little black pepper, this homemade brew has been getting me through those 6am starts when all I want to do is lay in bed. Plus it tastes pretty damn good.
