Saving your laptop battery
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

colors that suit you-blue eyes

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.
