Turning 25
“....Another friend told me that up until we’re 25, we think we know it all. After 25, we realize we really know nothing. All the plans we had in college and directly thereafter have given way to a messy reality, where life often gets in the way of our meticulous calculations. You lost your job, you got an unexpected job, you were in an accident, or you fell in love with a boy and that love made you move across the world. At 25, we are beginning to understand, truly, that plans, like rules, are meant to be broken. It is often the spontaneous, the unforeseen, that chisels out our individuality....”

Pensions - metro advice
Apparently as a general rule you should take your age halve it, save that figure as a percentage of your salary.
Houses are probably still the best investment, as pensions you cannot get at till your 55. You can also look into investment shares for as little as £50 (little!!) a month which can offer a good return long term.

Double glasses
Double Trouble Nicholas Rhodes Wine Glasses
We know what you’re thinking: another day, another must-have item to purchase.
But today we’re here to help you make an informed decision about design consultant Nicholas Rhodes’s wine glasses.
The upside: They (wine snobs) say the shape of a glass can greatly affect the taste of your drink, so for those who don’t have a lot of storage space, Rhodes’s double-sided goblets allow you to serve red or white wine, champagne or a martini from the appropriate glass. Made by European craftsmen (not a machine), the witty glasses are simple, elegant and dishwasher safe — not to mention, guaranteed to make dinner party guests do a double take.
The downside: Mixing drinks isn’t always this pretty. Drink responsibly.
Available at Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, W1A 1AB (0800 123400 or selfridges.com), £32.

Restaurant
A New Season Amaranto Restaurant and Bar Opens
Things that were not worth the wait: the Lost finale, growing up, British summertime.
Something that was: Amaranto — the new restaurant and bar opening Monday in the Four Seasons Hotel after a two-year, £125 million face-lift.
Chef Adriano Cavagnini (The Hotel Eden in Rome) and Davide Degiovanni (Locanda Locatelli) have put together an Italian-inspired menu with a British twist: expect seared Wagyu beef with olive ravioli and fresh Cornish crab tagliolini with lemon zest. Italian (bruschetta, mini panettone, coffee) and English afternoon teas (smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches, scones) will also be on offer.
The all-day eatery is spread across interconnecting rooms — three laid-back lounge areas, a restaurant and a decadent bar. And there’s a leafy outdoor terrace where you can eat (and smoke) when the weather gets better.
Although you might be waiting awhile for that.
Amaranto, in the Four Seasons Hotel Park Lane, Hamilton Place, W1J 7DR (020 7319 5206 or fourseasons.com).
