Jessica Alba pens lifestyle book

Jessica Alba can add writer to her resume after penning a book offering parenting, life and style advice to help promote "honest living" among her fans.

The Sin City star has two daughters, Honor, four, and Haven, 17 months, with her husband Cash Warren and decided to write the book after becoming frustrated with the lack of trustworthy parenting information available to new moms.

The actress gives readers an insight into her home life in the book, The Honest Life, which promotes healthy, clean living for busy families.

A statement on Alba's lifestyle website The Honest Company reads, "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... Her solutions are easy, chic, and down-to-earth: they’re honest."
