Jessica Alba

Alba appears on the cover of February 2015 issue of Natural Health. She talks about teaching her children the true meaning of beauty and balancing her life as an actress and entrepreneur.

Acting is a priority, but when you’re building a company like this, you can’t just check out…This is life-changing stuff. This is legacy.

Alba appears on the cover of a December 2014 issue of El Aviso magazine.

Alba appears on the cover of the Fall 2014 issue of Glam Belleza Latina magazine. She talks about how race is important to her identity, Latinas she admires, and the difference between her business and movie career.

Having a company that’s making the world a better place is a life calling. Performing has also been a life calling, but they’re so different. It takes a completely different side of my brain to do one versus the other. But I’m truly very proud of The Honest Company.

Alba appears on the cover of the August 2014 issue of British GQ magazine. She talks about Paul Walker, the Sin City sequel, and her body.

“I have to enhance what I like about my body and my stomach is good. My legs I’m not as excited about all the time, but I wouldn’t cover up my stomach. That’s what women do. Enhance what we’ve got.

Alba appears on the cover of the June 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan France magazine.

Alba appears on the cover of the April 2014 issue of Redbook magazine. She talks about Craigslist, her biggest confessions, and kissing her kids on the mouth.

I bought my hot pink desk off Craigslist. I have a problem. I love vintage furniture, and refurbishing is one of the most eco things you can do. I also got a couple of cool chairs and Danish mid-century credenzas off of Craigslist.

Alba appears on the cover of the October 2013 issue of Health magazine. She talks about her younger body, wearing a corset, and her diet.

To me, it’s knowing that if you eat unprocessed fresh food — it doesn’t all have to be organic, but try to have the least amount of GMOs [genetically modified organisms] and pesticides — you have energy, aren’t starving and don’t have to count calories. When I’m ‘dieting,’ I’m not eating as many snacks — because I love snacks. Popchips, Pirate’s Booty – or I could eat a pound of fruit. So I cut down on snacking when I’m trying to be healthy.

Alba appears on the cover of the April 2013 issue of Latina magazine. She talks about choosing roles and non-toxic baby products.

It’s really hard to find baby products that use nontoxic chemicals that moms can trust. Major corporate brands that label their products ‘eco-friendly’ or ‘nontoxic’ are usually referring to the way they make their packaging, not their product.

Alba appears on the cover of the February 2013 issue of In Style magazine. She talks about knowing her husband was the one, what she’s learned from motherhood, and her style.

My style is more adventurous since I became a mom. In the past, I was into my uniform of leggings and a sweater. Now I’m willing to try bold prints, bright colors, and different cuts. Never say never, but I probably won’t ever wear booty shorts. I feel pretty confident about that.

Alba appears on the cover of the April 2012 issue of Parenting magazine. She talks about her kids and the press, what inspired her to launch natural products, and what matters most.

Before I had kids, I was always so focused on my career…Nothing else really matters to me [now] aside from my children and their well-being.

Alba appears on the cover of the March 2012 issue of Los Angeles Confidential magazine. She talks about balancing career and motherhood, her style changing, and how motherhood changed her.

I feel like I’ve finally come into my own and become the person I always should have been, or that I always wanted to be. I feel more grounded, free and comfortable in my own skin than I ever have. The paradigm just shifted completely to my family.

Alba appears on the cover of the September 2011 issue of Lucky magazine. She talks about playing superheroes, being soft-willed, and her first big audition.

We all went out for it – my mom, my auntie, her four kids, my auntie’s boyfriend, my brother and I all sardined inside our Buick Regal. That’s how we rolled back then.” Once there, she was asked to list any acting experience. “I lied and said I done plays. My mom definitely taught me how to hustle.

Alba appears on the cover of the August 2011 issue of Latina magazine. She talks about preparing for her second child, balancing motherhood and her career, and having more kids.

After I had Honor I didn’t leave the house for a while. It was all about changing diapers and feedings and still trying to get back in to the routine of my [acting] thing. I love what I do. But unless it’s worth it, I’m not going to spend time away from my daughter. Before I had her, work was all I had. Now it’s not.

Alba appears on the cover of the December 2010 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about her choice of roles, her personality, and gaining confidence in her craft.

I’d been so afraid of criticism ever since I was young. Every time I’d get a critique or some redirection, I’d always just take it very personally, but now I have no problem with it. It’s just a chance to try things a different way. To play more with a character. It also gives me a chance to have some input, to use my voice.
