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.

    MY GO-TO GREEN DRINK
    This became my best friend when I was trying to lose the baby weight, but it’s great anytime you feel like you’ve overindulged. It fills you up and is completely packed with nutrients.

    1 whole cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped

    2 handfuls chopped kale

    2 celery sticks, chopped

    2 lemons, juiced

    2 apples, cored and seeded

    1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely diced

    Frozen watermelon or a dash of the natural sweetener stevia or Truvía for sweetness

    WHAT TO DO:

    Blend well; refrigerate what you don’t drink immediately (makes about 2 servings).
