I was chatting to one of my housemates about fast fashion brands the other day, and she was asking me what brands counted as fast fashion. I gave a pretty general explanation, but because the question caught me off guard I realised afterwards if I'd have done more research myself, I'd probably be able to give a better explanation! Even if you think you know what fast fashion is (like I did), it's worth giving this a read so you can make sure you have a really good idea, so you do a better job of explaining it to others (and avoiding it yourself!). Definition: Fast fashion is the process where fashion companies are reproducing clothing created by established designers, to fulfil customers' demands of high fashion and the latest trends for low prices. These production of these clothes has been made to be so cost and time-efficient that the clothes can be made available to consumers with a very quick turnaround, which is why many brands constantly have new items available

When it comes to restaurant chains, I have very mixed feelings. On the one hand, when I'm craving food from a certain restaurant, if it's a chain there's a pretty good chance I can get what I want without too much fuss. But then again, I love the excitement of finding local spots when I'm out somewhere new; the places treasured by locals that are sure to leave you with fond memories on any trip.  Franco Manca is the best of both worlds in my eyes. There are more and more branches popping up around the country, but when I first visited the Cambridge restaurant I wouldn't have known. It had the feel of an independent restaurant, and the staff have always been so friendly and accommodating in both the Brighton and Cambridge branches I've visited that it's always been a great time, and even better pizza. Brighton (visited August 2020) Whilst spending a few days away in Brighton this summer, I couldn't turn down the opportunity to eat at another Franco Manca

Working as one of the food editors for Quench (Cardiff University's lifestyle magazine) has been a blast so far, and it got even better when we were given the opportunity to have a free meal out at Wahaca. Due to lockdown, it was the first time I got to properly meet the other two food editors, Sasha Nugara and Indigo Jones, which made the experience even better! We've written a review together about the meal out, so I thought I'd share it here too! Enjoy x Last week our section editors were offered the chance to review Wahaca Cardiff, a Mexican chain which can be found across the UK. The restaurant prides itself on sustainability, and its new menu explains how it’s the most sustainable yet. After having been to the restaurant our editors decided to write a collaborative review to discuss the highs and lows of the visit, whilst showcasing the wonderful food they were able to indulge on.

No matter how extroverted or introverted you might be, starting university is a daunting experience. But it's also the perfect place to grow so much as a person, achieve more than you ever thought possible and create so many amazing memories. Regardless of whether you have just started uni or you're going into your final year, here's my advice for starting this year in the best possible way! 1. If there's something you know you want to do, get involved straight away. It's very easy to use the stress of moving to uni and settling in to never get involved with doing much else than surviving at uni, rather than thriving. It's okay to give yourself a week or so to adjust, but don't put off joining societies or other groups for so long that you get so busy with your degree you never bother or no longer feel you've got the time to. If you're a returning student who didn't get stuck in with much last year, use this year as a fresh start to make the most
