Jessica Alba talks openly to SELF magazine about her thought about body in its February issue especially while she was pregnant.
Being pregnant is “the most incredible experience,” Jessica has since embraced her postpartum body. “I’ll take the stretch marks. I’ll take the sagging boobs. I’ll take the cellulite I can never get rid of,” she jokes.
The concept of beauty was taught by the little girl which is her own daughter, and all is about confidence. “If you walk around with your head held high and you’re happy and positive, then all that other stuff is irrelevant. Confidence is number one.”
And she does have to control her food and work out regime, but the star of Valentine Days said she keeps it simple and healthy but she’s not a gym rat.
“I think you have to eat in a way that makes you feel your best. I include a lot of vegetables and lean protein and fruit and grains in my diet. I’m not a big workout person,” she told the mag. “Every single day, I tell my girlfriends we’re starting a regimen. And then it’s, like, ‘Want to get dinner? Want a glass of wine?’”
The present of her daughter Honor Marie has help her to cure the stress, the mother’s love she has to her daughter makes her want to leads by example for Honor.
“When I spend time with her, I get instant perspective. I can be hard on myself if I don’t do everything perfectly. But now that I have her, there’s no time for that. I want to teach her that you can learn from your mistakes, and if you keep moving and stay positive and loving, everything will work out.”
And she’s the type of woman who like to recycling furnitures and appreciate the history behind it. And a little bit surprising that as a celebrity Jessica loves to buy used household item from internet.
“I’ve bought 70 percent of my house off CraigsList! I’ve found so many things: couches, tables, lamps. I love the idea of recycling furniture and there being a history there.”
Have been married to Cash Warren since May 19, 2008, she keeps falling in love all over again and again, wow! “I love the way I feel after Cash and I wake up. Or talk on the phone.” She confessed, “Everything! Every time I see him or talk to him, I fall in love with him all over again.”
The actress has high hopes for her 18 months old daughter, just like any mom, I guess, and relocating to get close to nature and good setup for children. “I’d love to be raising my kids on a farm in the South of France. My mother-in-law has lived there for more than 20 years, and she has a beautiful setup.”
“I want to be able to allow Honor and my other kids, who I hope to be blessed with in the future, to maintain their innocence for as long as possible. There is so much time to be an adult.”
As we know the life under the spot is not always fun, more to annoying. Jessica Alba and family keep doing their activities to having brunch, or shopping and the paparazzi always around them to photographed. She explains her objection,
“They drive dangerously when they’re following us and have caused a lot of almost-accidents. They curse, they’ve threatened people I’ve been with and they’ve called me every name under the sun and then taken a photo where I look mad,” she explains. “And I’m not going to walk around smiling. Nobody walks around smiling! That’s weird. You’re an alien if you do that.”
