I feel like I haven't written a "favourites" post in a while (although it's probably only been a month) so I thought I'd use this opportunity to share one. I've just moved back to Edinburgh so there are a fair few nods to that in this post as I find my student footing again 🙂 … Continue reading things I’m loving lately
I know, I know. This isn't the most original of blog posts... But equally, it's not every day you turn twenty one! And I really do feel like I've learnt a lot this year. I mean, we all have, right? So what better way to honour that than by dedicating a blog post to it - which … Continue reading twenty one lessons for twenty one years
Last week, Maya and I recorded a podcast episode under this title, and I was inspired to write a blog post along a similar line. With restrictions gradually lifting and the country opening more and more, I thought it might be helpful to read about other people’s experiences with this. Anxiety First and foremost, I’ve … Continue reading Lessons learnt leaving lockdown
Apologies for no blog post las weekend; I'm now back in Edinburgh and have been so busy! I know I only did one of these "favourites" posts a few weeks ago, but I am lacking inspo so thought I'd do a round-up of all my edinburgh favourites so far. Hope you enjoy! Pimm's Bit of … Continue reading things I’m loving lately (edinburgh edition)
You know what time it is! I haven't done a favourites post in a few weeks and since they're my favourite (lol) to write, I thought I'd share my most updated ones. Hope you enjoy! x Iced coffees and sunny terraces One of the few benefits of being at home during lockdown means that the … Continue reading things I’m loving lately

Please take everything with a pinch of salt and know that this will probably … Continue reading performative self-care
I haven't done a chatty, catch-up style blog post in a while so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to. Also, before I start, I wanted to remind you to show yourself some love this Valentine's Day. Whether you're in a relationship or not, you are worthy of love and I'm sending some your way <3 … Continue reading Time for a catch-up
If you're from the UK then, like me, you'll be in lockdown 2.0 or 3.0 depending on where you're based. Other countries still have restrictions of varying degrees too, so I thought I'd share some things that are keeping me going at the moment. Hopefully, this blog post will give you some inspo to fill … Continue reading current favourites (lockdown edition)
Today's post is pure self-indulgence. As is this blog, to be frank. But I started fruitsandroutes FOUR years ago now, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to reflect on where it's taken me. It's been a wild ride, and I can't believe how much personal growth I've undertaken in that time. Thank you for … Continue reading four years of fruitsandroutes
2020. The year that completely broke us. COVID-19, Brexit, loneliness, lockdown... it's been a trying year. But it's also been one of my best years in terms of personal growth. So, naturally, I wanted to commemorate that and reflect on the highs of 2020. There's waaay too much negative news at the moment (for good … Continue reading reflecting on 2020
