She’s on top of her game these days, with a successful career and picture-perfect family, so it’s no wonder Jessica Alba is beaming on the August 2016 cover of Red magazine.
In her interview, the Honest Company honcho discusses the media’s obsession with youth- "It's so celebrated, but I don’t think you become the beauty that you truly are until you have lived life. It takes years to develop that sense of self. Years! I feel more beautiful now at 35 than I ever did, certainly in my twenties. That should be something that we talk about more; that women get more beautiful as time goes on. As women, we know this. It’s pop culture that needs to catch up.”
And as she looks back on her life, Jessica feels especially thankful for her mother and father. “My parents are fun. They love to have a good time. And that is something that got on my nerves when I was younger, because I wanted them to be more grown-up or more serious. But now I realize how important that is. They’ve been together since they were 16 and 17 and, when you go through life with someone, it’s so important to laugh because it gets you through the tough times. I was way too serious and heavy, way too early in my life, and I’ve only just come out the other side. I look at my kids now and they have so much joy and such a light spirit and I want them to always hang on to that. I finally feel a lightness and a joy that I hope my kids never lose.”
