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

twenty one lessons for twenty one years
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
Lessons learnt leaving lockdown
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
things I’m loving lately (edinburgh edition)
Apologies for no blog post las weekend; I'm now back in Edinburgh and have been so busy!

things I’m loving lately
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
performative self-care
This is a bit of a rogue topic and I'm not sure how long this post will end up being, but it's something I've noticed quite a bit on Instagram and I wanted to touch upon it in this week's post. Please take everything with a pinch of salt and know that this will probably … Continue reading performative self-care
Time for a catch-up
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
current favourites (lockdown edition)
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)
four years of fruitsandroutes
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
reflecting on 2020
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
