I came across these great tips on how to save on your laptop battery. I spend pretty much the whole day at the University and I hate carrying the plug with me. My battery is pretty good, usually it lasts about 2-3 hrs. Here are some of the tips to help you save your laptop battery life.
-Dim the screen
-Avoid playing videogames, mp3 playing, running multiple programs
-Turn off the WiFi and Bluetooth and ditch the USB devices, like that external hard drive. These, too, exhaust the battery.
— Check to make sure that you're not running unnecessary programs in the background
-Never leave discs in your CD or DVD drive
For some reason it won't let me post the video or even link it but here is the link, just copy and paste

Colour to adopt
Orange (the complementary colour for blue). To highlight your eyes, go for eyeshadows in shades of earth brown, golden brown, gold, peach, pink or apricot.
Colour to avoid
Blue-green (this shade will reduce the intensity of the colour of your eyes).
Expert advice
To bring out your pupils, go for contrast. Try out dark colours (black, dark grey, navy blue, etc), focusing especially on the outer corner of your eye. Always finish your eye make-up with a coat of mascara, an essential step for adding intensity to your eyes.
Your colour palette
Coral, copper red, orange, golden, bronze, beige, brown, dark grey...
Eyeshadow color to suit you

For brown/hazel eyes
-golden brown to grey-green, all shades will bring out your pupils.
Colours to avoid
All halftone colours as they're a bit plain for your eyes.
Expert advice
To intensify your smouldering look, apply gold-brown or black liner to your lash line, and finish off with a volumising mascara.

The new collection from Mac recently came out..and I know theres tons of people who absolutely love the new "Hello Kitty"Collection, so I decided to put a few pics of some of my fave looks by Mac artists
EYES
Define brows with Spiked Eye Brows. Use 242 Shader Brush to blend Phone Number Eye Kohl over the eyelid, before setting with Stately Black Eye Shadow with 239 Shader Brush. Use 224 Blending Brush to blend Stately Black Eye Shadow up through the crease, creating smoky effect. Use 212 Flat Brush to create a soft highlight under the brow with Yogurt Eye Shadow. Intensify the upper lashline by using 212 Flat Brush with Carbon Eye Shadow to create a delicate line of matte black through the lashes. Use 228 Shader Brush to smudge a smoky eye lining effect with Stately Black Eye Shadow through the lower lashes. Apply Technakohl in Smoothblue to line the inside rim of the lower lashes, adding an unexpected flash of turquoise.
Finish with a dose of Plush Lash Mascara in Plushblack on upper and lower lashes.
CHEEKS
Give a slight contour to cheeks by using sweeping Tippy Beauty Powder Blush under cheekbones with 129 Powder Blush Brush.
LIPS
Softly define lips with Subculture Lip Pencil. Create a soft mouth with Lipstick in Fashion Mews and a dazzling coat of Luminary Lustreglass.

Groom brows with Beguile Brow Set. Use 242 Shader Brush under brows with Crème Royal Eye Shadow.

Softly blend Rule Eye Shadow with 217 Blending Brush through the crease. Use 219 Pencil Brush to shade Lucky Tom Eye Shadow through the inner and outer contour. Apply Glitterpuss Glitter Eye Liner with 209 Liner Brush above the upper lashline. Use 209 Liner Brush to blend Dipdown Fluidline with Crème Royale Eye Shadow through the inner lashes.

one of my b-day gifts

As I mentioned before it was my b-day on the 24th and my dog Chloe had her puppies on my b-day..I was very happy for that..She had 3 lil babies, 2 males and one female..I'm still trying to convince my mom to keep one..
Here are a few pics
Other than that, I got $, clothes and a purple clutch
We didn't really do anything crazy, we just went to Honest Lawyer which is a pretty chill place. There was about 20 people who showed up which was good. Unfortunately there was sort of misunderstanding and they didn't have my booth ready on time, but we ended up getting a huge table within 15 minutes. The club was wayy too packed so I was happy with that.
Next year I'm probably going to do something more fancy/classy again. It's good to change it once in a while, because before all I did was fancy/classy bars.
I didn't get to wear my outfit that I had planned which was a dress because it was wayyyy too cold, and this was not that type of bar anyways..
When I do wear it I will put the pics..
Pics are coming soon..I've been busy with school, midterms, b-day and GYM! I finally decided to start going,and I already feel better, and more energetic..it was a good idea just gotta keep it up.
