26 Favorites of 2012

2012  has ended very badly, not just for me but for the entire country. I'm still trembling from the horrific incident that took place in my own city where I USED TO roam around freely. I'm scared now. Its high time the Indian government takes steps to ensure women's safety in public spaces. In 2013 we can just hope that, the brave girl's death would not go in vain and she and countless other victims like her would get justice.

I wanna shake this fear off and to distract myself I have finally decided to write about anything but THAT. It was a mixed year for me, tablespoons of good and teaspoons of bad. So here I am, penning down some of my favorite stuff from last year..just a quick walk through memory lane (sort of ;) )

color me green~ celebrities !

Happy Sunday all you lovely people ! Although I must say, my Sunday is NOT turning out that well..I'm neck deep in assignments & submission so gonna finish a quick post today which had been lying in my drafts fr a few days..
 you probably would've heard about alot of celebrities hopping on to "be green"/ "save the Earth"/ "be Eco-friendly"  wagons but really who knows how much of whatever they claim is ACTUALLY true..

but there are a few exceptions:  yup THIS guy, Mr Leonardo DiCaprio.. is one of them..Prius (this Toyota car is an eco-freindly hybrid car btw )-driving, star co-wrote,co- produced and narrated the film 11th Hour, which discussed the state of the global environment and offered solutions to restoring the planet's ecosystems. Also, hes working on saving the polar bears from goin extinct thanx to global warming!..Pretty awesome work for a talented, sexy millionaire right?..i think so ! :) MUST check out the 11th hour HERE

 

Ok, now this particular person has a flawless taste. Not only does she look pretty but is also a REALLY good actress...yes Natalie Portman! now she n her hubby were seen at the Oscars sporting Eco-friendly rings!!.. sounded really weird to me at first but turns out the rings were made out of "Recycled Platinum" & "Conflict free diamonds" crafted by jeweler Jamie Wolf..totally would love to know what EXACTLY these things are..but sure if someone is willing to wear a recycled ring for the rest of their life..then i totally appreciate it !!..Although the ring is gorgeous..don't u think ! :) In addition, Ms Portman, also designed a vegan footwear line & is involved with Global Green USA.

Third one..Sting !.. remember "desert rose"? The rocker and his wife Trudie Styler launched a line of bags made out of elephant excrement to raise funds for a charity here in India. Styler told the Daily mail " We have been using elephant dung to make collectable bags to be sold in aid of the Mukti charity in India. It sounds pongy (smelly), but it doesn't smell !".

Next up..Cameron Diaz ! She was featured on the cover of  Vogue in June 2009 for being a nature's gal at heart !.. She is another celeb who rocks a Prius and even hitched a ride to the Oscars this year in a BMW Hydrogen 7 (ooh..fancy AND environmentally friendly !). She is also know for actively recycling, using energy saving appliances and starred in her own environmental friendly MTV reality show called Eco Trippin..!...

Lastly, Gisele Bundchen..Now this list was in no order, but if it was..she'l be pretty much at the top, but right after the Titanic hottie ! ;)
Gisele has many feathers to her green cap..She founded a Clean Water Project, has an Eco friendly skincare Line and even lives in a 22,00-square-foot-green home !..Pretty kool right?




I hope these fancy-rich ppl's contribution to the nature inspires you.. and even if it doesn't..just remember the mantra..Go Green !! :)

BTW...the Poll on your left <---
ends in 2 days .. so get voting ppl !!

Enjoy !
