The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You

Description

As a new mom, Jessica Alba wanted to create the safest, healthiest environment for her family. But she was frustrated by the lack of trustworthy information on how to live healthier and cleaner-delivered in a way that a busy mom could act on without going to extremes. In 2012, with serial entrepreneur Brian Lee and environmental advocate Christopher Gavigan, she launched The Honest Company, a brand where parents can find reliable information and products that are safe, stylish, and affordable. The Honest Life shares the insights and strategies she gathered along the way. The Honest Life recounts Alba's personal journey of discovery and reveals her tips for making healthy living fun, real, and stylish, while offering a candid look inside her home and daily life. She shares strategies for maintaining a clean diet (with favorite family-friendly recipes) and embraces nontoxic choices at home and provides eco-friendly decor tips to fit any budget. Alba also discusses cultivating a daily eco beauty routine, finding one's personal style without resorting to yoga pants, and engaging in fun, hands-on activities with kids. Her solutions are easy, chic, and down-to-earth- they're honest. And discovering everyday ways to live naturally and authentically-true to you-could be honestly life-changing.

Jessica Alba is a Golden Globe-nominated actress and is actively involved with charities such as Safer Chemicals Healthy Families, ONE, Habitat for Humanity, Project HOME and more. After becoming a mother herself, Jessica decided to launch The Honest Company to help mothers give their children a better, safer start. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Cash Warren, and their two young daughters. Christopher Gavigan is the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of The Honest Company. He is the former CEO of Healthy Child Healthy World, a national nonprofit empowering parents to protect their kids from toxic risks.
