This allows the user to share an internet connection over Wi-Fi


Maryfi is a free utility developed for Windows 7 that creates a virtual router on the computer it is installed on. This allows the user to share an internet connection over Wi-Fi, or in other terms, it turns a computer into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Once successfully configured, Maryfi can wirelessly share the computer’s access to the internet with devices such as game consoles, laptops, phones, etc.


This application works better with devices such as laptop and netbooks that already have built-in Wi-Fi capability out of the box. In case of desktop computers, setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot may require an investment in a PCI Wi-Fi transceiver. This utility can also be very useful in places like hotel rooms where, in most cases, internet access is available only via Ethernet. Using this utility, you can share this wired connection with other wireless-only devices like a phone. CNET downloads also hosts this program, which you can download by following this link.

Exfoliate Your Way to Glowing Skin


The winter air can certainly wreak havoc on even the healthiest skin, so it is important to learn how to properly exfoliate in order to get rid of the patches of dry skin. We tell you why exfoliation is important and how to get the glow back and keep clogged pores and blackheads at bay this season.

What is exfoliation?
Layers of dead epidermal cells on your skin can leave your face dull and patchy. Exfoliation is a process which helps you remove these layers and expose the fresh glowing skin beneath it. Unlike expensive medical and other beauty processes, exfoliating is a simple way to younger looking skin.

How does it help?
By removing the dead cells, it prevents the blockage of skin pores, preventing acne and blackheads. And by removing the blockage of pores, it also helps in better penetration of the active ingredients in your skin care products. If you suffer from flaky dry patches on your face, it will help in giving you an even skin tone. By exfoliating regularly on a weekly basis, you can even slow down the aging process of your skin.

How to do it right?

By using soaps and other cleansers, you can only remove the dirt and grime on your skin. To remove the dead cells, exfoliation is a must. Loofahs are a good choice when it comes to exfoliation. But they should be strictly avoided when it comes to your face.

Garnier’s CleanDetox Gentle Exfoliating Scrub enriched with refreshing green mint and anti-oxidant vitamin E, has exfoliating particles which gently remove toxins and purify pores without drying the skin. It cleanses your face of impurities and helps the skin in recovering its natural radiance.

Top 5 Ways to Appreciate Your Spouse..:-)


5 great ways you can use the upcoming weekend to show your better half how much you care for them

Dress Up And Surprise Them

It’s not uncommon or entirely unexpected for the excitement to die after a few years of marriage. Unfortunately, with it also die your efforts to impress your partner. Sure, you might be more comfortable in sweatpants and an old T-Shirt, but it would be so much nicer if you went all out and dressed up just for your partner.

Remind your spouse how sexy you can be. It will certainly be worth your while!

Make it All About Them

On this one day, do the one thing that every person desires deep inside--make it all about them! You could have a special date night doing all the things they love or take on all their chores for the day--women love this!

Nothing will make your spouse feel more appreciated than not having to lift a finger all day!

Pamper Them

There’s nothing more amazing than being pampered by the person you love--this holds true for both men and women! So show your love and appreciation for this person who’s changed your life in so many ways with simple, loving actions.

These could be anything from drawing them a lovely, warm bath and giving them a massage to serving them breakfast in bed. The last one is tried and tested and it works like a charm, every single time!

Encourage Their Hobbies

Even if you’d rather they didn’t indulge in certain hobbies, you should make an attempt to encourage them. Try to put your fears, worries and other insecurities aside so that your spouse can truly feel free when they indulge in whatever it is they love doing.

Trust us, it’s totally worth it just to see a satisfied smile on their face.

Be Their Biggest Fan

There’s nothing more satisfying than knowing that someone’s always got your back. Being your partner’s biggest fan and always spurring them on with encouragement proves just that.

You can do this in small, simple ways such as telling them how great they are, how much you admire their ability to do certain things and by simply telling them how loved they are. And in case you’re not their biggest fan, you certainly should be!

The Good Wife !!

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor`s office. After his checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office alone.
He said, “Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don`t do the following, your husband will surely die.”
“Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don`t burden him with chores, as he probably had a hard day. Don`t discuss your problems with him, it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly satisfy his every whim. If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely.”
On the way home, the husband asked his wife, “What did the doctor say?”


“You`re going to die,” she replied.

Tips to keep your makeup smudge proof

So you know the fine art of applying makeup. But do you know how to make it last long? Read on...

1. Start with cleansing and toning your skin to remove surface oils that cause makeup to fade and smear. Use skincare products designed for your skin type and pay special attention to the T-zone if you have oily or combination skin.

2. Moisturize your face with a lightweight cream. Preferably use a light sun block to address dry skin and provide a smooth canvas for makeup. It will last longer as it is less prone to be absorbed into the pores.

3. Apply a good quality cream-based foundation, designed for longer wear. Waterproof foundations are also good. Look for powder-based, anti-ageing makeup or thicker compact-style makeup. Use a clean sponge and work in an upward and outward direction. Blend the foundation around the edges but avoid rubbing it into the skin. Next, apply loose powder. If you only want the powder in certain areas such as the nose and chin, apply with a powder puff. If you want to use the powder to blot the shine on your whole face, apply with a powder brush.

4. Apply a non-oily concealer on spotty areas, You can also use it as an eye shadow base; it lasts longer.

5. Add color to your face with your first layer of blush or bronzer. Use a cream blush or powder bronzer depending on your skin type, with either a sponge or good quality brush. The color should blend in with your skin.

6. Powder your face with lightweight, loose translucent powder and a dense, large powder brush. Apply the powder over your skin. Repeat the application on oily areas and cover your lashes as well. Good quality powder is a critical step to make makeup last longer.

7. Add another light layer of powdered blush or bronzer. Loose powder may work best when applying over powder makeup. First tap any excess off. Practice makes perfect to avoid a blotchy look. Skip this step if you have dry, flaky skin.

8. To make your lipstick last longer, first apply a thin layer of foundation to lips. Line and fill in your whole mouth with a neutral lip pencil. Apply one coat of lipstick, blot, and then finish with a light layer of gloss. You can also use this technique: take a tissue and separate into one-ply, if needed. Use toilet paper if the tissue is too thick and not semi-translucent. Lay the tissue lightly over your lips. Using light pressure, apply a generous amount of loose translucent powder onto the tissue, and then remove. Use choice of lip gloss.

9. Enjoy longer lasting eye makeup by applying it in light layers. For eyeliner and kohl, apply once, powder lightly, then reapply or use liquid liner on top. Mascara lasts longer when applied in two coats on powdered eyelashes. Preferably, use water proof mascara.

10. Eye shadow works well when applied both in cream and powder form. Optionally, blend and set using a blush brush dipped in light pink blush or neutral powder.
