Jessica Alba: My daughter ate cleaner

1st October 2012

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jessica Alba's daughter likes eating sugar sprinkles covered in cleaning spray.

The actress and her husband Cash Warren are parents to two girls, Honor and Haven, and Jessica is also founder of The Honest Company, which sells eco-friendly baby and home products.

The 31-year-old recently had a moment of panic when four-year-old Honor decided to ingest some of the company's cleaning product.

"We were making cupcakes and there were sprinkles on them and it was all over the counter. She kept eating sprinkles and I'm like, Stop eating the sprinkles. You're going to be sugar, cracked out on sprinkles,'" Jessica told People magazine.

"And so I squirted it with our counter spray and then she started licking it with the counter spray on it! I had that moment of, Oh God, she's going to be' And I'm like, Wait, it's Honest. It's fine!' We rinsed it out and obviously it's not meant for her to ingest, but it wasn't the same panic moment I would have had if it was any other brand."

Starring in films such as Fantastic Four and Sin City, Jessica has managed to juggle a successful career with her family life.

Despite now also venturing into the world of business, she will always put her family first.

"There's no such thing as perfect and you can't possibly do everything all the time and that's OK," she explained.

"You cannot be pulled in all those different directions. I wish someone would have told me that earlier. It would've relieved so much stress. Family comes first - and you don't need to apologise for it." (C) Cover Media
