Alicia Silverstone on Saving the World... By Saving Your Body!

Does it smell really nice? Can I? Can I? You think it smells really nice?

It does smell really nice.

It was that’s a really good smell there.

I’ll be wearing that.

That’d be my new, my new thing.

I’m Oliver Travena here at the Young Hollywood Studio with Alicia Silverstone.

How are you?

Hi.

Thank you for coming in.

Thank you.

It’s a pleasure having you.

Thank you.

Here on the Young Hollywood sofa.

Alicia Silverstone.

This is amazing.

So, vegan.

Let’s get onto that.

Okay.

I’ve, I’ve tried it a bit.

Now, obviously, the benefits, not, obviously, that you’re not eating an animal, that’s always nice.

Yeah.

But it’s, it’s healthy lifestyle, isn’t it?

It’s very good for you.

Yeah.

Yes.

The best, it all the things that people spend all the time trying to fix, like, you know, being tired or having acne or But even just the silly thing, not silly things, but you know, people wake up and they feel tired, they need coffee, or they can’t go to bed at night, they take sleeping pills.

All those things are manageable through food.

So, if you just change the way you eat, you don’t have to feel like crap all the time, and you can just heal yourself.

But you are amazing in all this like healthy lifestyle and, you know, reading up, you do everything.

You’ve got The Kind Life, which is your website.

Yeah.

Which is completely overwhelming with knowledge and everything you need, it’s a one-stop shop, really, isn’t it?

I’d like to think of it that way.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I’m really proud of The Kind Life.

It’s an extension of The Kind Diet, the book that I wrote.

And, um, so

Bestseller.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Number one.

Can you believe it?

Yeah.

I can’t believe it.

Take, believe it, girl.

Believe it.

Take that bestseller.

So, what I wanted to do was create a community for all the people who read the book, um, to kind of, once they’ve taken in all this information and their lives were changing, a place to sort of come and talk about it with others.

Like if you’re going to New York and you want to know the best restaurant you need to go to for and to still have, you know, healthy, delicious food, it’ll tell you my picks or somebody or you could even type into the, the community like when I went to Detroit, I asked, where should I go?

I’m

Right.

What’s the Yeah, that wouldn’t strike me as has the most vegan restaurants.

You know?

That’s what you think.

But then there were some really good finds, thanks to the community.

I would never have found them had they not told me.

I love that.

So, it works out great.

I love that.

Juice Beauty.

Yeah.

You’ve teamed up and done a skincare line.

Yeah.

I’m really excited because we made five products together.

So, there’s a cleanser, moisturizer, um, lipstick, the lipstick I have on.

And a blush.

Looks very nice.

The blush that I have on.

Looks very nice.

And a powder that I have on.

Looks very nice.

Thank you.

Works well.

It looks great.

And what’s amazing and different about this is that all the ingredients are organic and all natural, so you’re not putting any chemicals into your skin.

When you, whatever you put on your skin, it drinks about 60% of that.

So, it’s like, you know, drinking a cup of chemicals.

Okay, nice, good to know.

That explains it.

Yeah, right?

Because I’m only 21.

That’s not believable, okay.

Carry on.

But also, environmentally, the all the ingredients come from local organic farmers.

So, the packaging is all 95% recycled materials.

So, what that means, the bottles like that, the, um, the boxes that they come in are are made of recycled paper and soy ink.

And so, it’s really from top to bottom eco-friendly.

Sounds like you could eat it.

You could eat it.

The ingredients are amazing because they’re like avocado and shea butter and aloe vera and fruit juices.

So, everything that you’re putting on your skin is just nourishing, healing.

It’s really nice.

It sounds it.

Yeah.

And it’s perfect for a lady like this, no?

It’s delicious.

Does it smell really nice?

Can I?

Can I?

You think it smells really nice?

It does smell really nice.

It was that’s a really good smell though.

I’ll be wearing that.

That’d be my new, my new thing.

I could wear it too.

Oh, yes, you could.

The years will just come off me, will they?

Brilliant.

I’m loving this.

And now, apart from saving the world one step at a time,

Yeah.

on TV, ABC, Suburgatory.

Are you excited about this baby show anymore?

If by excited you mean filled with an impending sense of dread, then yes, very.

I am fascinated by the side of you.

You’ve gone dark on me.

I love the show so much.

I’m a huge fan.

I am when they asked me to be a part of it, I immediately watched three episodes and it became hooked and said, yes, I want to be a part of this.

Right.

Which is always good if you like the show, it’s nice to like the one you’re on, right?

Right.

That’s a good idea.

Yeah.

And, um

And I thought it was great.

It’s so funny.

And, um, I like the way it’s shot, the style, it’s

And where do you, obviously, you’ve just had a baby.

Mhm.

Where do you find this, where do you find the time?

Yeah.

Is there a secret?

Can you get like 30 hours out of a day?

The biggest secret is, like not to be annoying about it, but the kind diet.

Right.

Because my life, because I eat well, it makes everything okay.

If I when I don’t eat well, you know, I can’t do anything.

Because just when I’m reading everything that you’ve got going on, it’s exhausting to read.

It’s exhausting.

Just for me to read.

Yeah.

I’m like, wow, and then it to top it all off, the baby, and I’m like, Oh, this is just too much.

The good news is the baby fills me up every time he’s with me.

I mean, if I’m having a rough day and he comes and starts, you know, eating off my, you know, breastfeeding.

Okay.

I knew where you were going with it.

I I could see that.

So, suddenly I’m all, everything’s okay now.

Right.

It’s like, it’s like a shot in the arm.

Right.

And so, um

I can’t quite do that.

I know.

One because of the baby and even if I did have my own baby, it would just be weird if I was breastfeeding.

I know.

Yeah.

Well, Alicia, thank you for stopping in.

Thank you.

Um, especially with what you have going on and amazing on changing the world one step at a time.

You can still have alcohol if you’re vegan, right?

You can.

Okay.

I’m vegan.

Let’s do it.

Let’s do it.

Hey.

Done.

Thank you.

Thanks for stopping in.

Thank you.
