Marta Walsh Interviews Ada Polla of Alchimie Forever
Alchimie Forever skin care products were created and developed in Geneva, Switzerland, by Ada Polla’s parents Drs. Luigi and Barbara Polla. They created Alchimie Forever originally for their own medical spa clients, one of the first European medical spas Forever Laser Institute. But the line became so popular that they soon decided to expand distribution beyond Geneva.
In this interview Ada Polla explains to Marta Walsh how Alchimie Forever stands out compare to other skincare brands on the market, what it takes to run a skincare company successfully, the Polla family’s other passion a contemporary art gallery in Geneva Analix Forever, and her passion for building the Alchimie Forever brand as a powerful international cult brand.
How was the concept for Alchimie Forever skincare born?
Alchimie Forever skin care products were created and developed in Geneva, Switzerland, by Drs. Luigi and Barbara Polla, my parents. My father, Dr. Luigi Polla is a world renowned dermatologist and European leader in the field of cosmetic laser therapy, is an expert on skin aging. My mother, Dr. Barbara Polla, a leader in biomedical research on antioxidants and stress proteins, is a specialist in cellular aging. They created the line originally for our own medical spa clients (we opened one of the first European medical spas, Forever Laser Institut) but the line became so popular that we soon decided to expand distribution beyond Geneva.
Marta Walsh Interviews “America’s Best Dance Crew” Layla Kayleigh
Few months ago I interviewed for Beauty Interviews the multi-talented host, actress and singer Layla Kayleigh from the hit MTV series “America’s Best Dance Crew” with Randy Jackson (airs Thursdays at 10pm ET/PT).
In the interview, Layla Kayleigh talks to me about some of her best kept beauty secrets, the two women celebrities she finds most beautiful, her favorite way to relax, and why does she think Randy Jackson the executive producer of “America’s Best Dance Crew” on MTV is so amazing.
I keep my hair beautiful thanks to…
“Enjoy” is a line that I absolutely love because it’s Sulphate-free, which is awesome- I’m a huge fan. Kerastase is also fantastic, they have this amazing hair oil that works wonders and doesn’t make your hair greasy (especially for people with ethnic or coarse hair like myself).
Marta Walsh Interviews Brea Grant from Heroes
I recently interviewed actress Brea Grant from the hit NBC science fiction series Heroes for Beauty Interviews.
Brea Grant stars as the new “hero” on the hit NBC’s science fiction series “HEROES”. The season kicked off on September 22nd with all new episodes so make sure to stop by and watch Brea Grant as she playing the character of Daphne Millbrook. Brea grant has previously appeared in an episode of Cold Case and three episodes of Friday Night Lights, and is due to play the character of “Junkie Girl” in the upcoming Max Payne film.
In this interview Brea Grant talks about how she got into acting, why was she attracted to the role of Daphne Millbrook in the hit series Heroes and what she has learned from it, shares beauty secrets, and her upcoming projects.
Marta Walsh: Why did you decide on a career in acting?
Brea Grant: As a kid, I did a lot of local theatre in Texas. When I was sort of at that crossroads of trying to decide what to do with my life, I fell back on the thing I remembered loving most – acting. So I took a few acting classes and moved to Los Angeles. Sounds simple but it was actually pretty hard.
Marta Walsh Interviews Celebrity Hair Stylist Ken Paves
I recently interviewed the fabulous celebrity hair stylist Ken Paves for Beauty Interviews.com.
I know Ken Paves was attacked by the paparazzi after dining at Madeo on Beverly Boulevard on Saturday night with Jessica Simpson, so I really hope Ken is doing well.
Ken Paves was dubbed by the media as “the hottest hairdressers in Hollywood”. Ken Paves is often recognized as Jessica Simpson’s hair stylist and for his work with a variety of other high profile clients, such as: Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria Parker, Fergie, and Jessica Alba to name a few. In this interview, Ken Paves talks about his beginning as a professional hair stylist doing several international magazine covers with Nikki Taylor, how did his business relationship with Jessica Simpson evolve, how did the concept for Hairdo a line of clip-in-hair extensions come about, his must-have hair styling tools and products, and why using self-expression is so important when it comes to hair.
Marta Walsh: When did your interest in hair design begin?
Ken Paves: I grew up with my father working 7 days a week in the auto industry. My mom worked part time jobs and raised 3 boys. I would sit outside of my mom’s bathroom as a “spectator” whenever she would do her hair and make up. This was only usually during the holidays or family functions. I was in awe at how these rare moments of self made her feel. My mom is my muse and has also appeared in the media with me. When my father retired from the auto industry after 32 years, he made me promise him I would choose a job that I would love to do after 32 years. It’s been 14 years and I still love it. I love to help women recognize their own beauty and to feel confident about themselves – that is beautiful.
Marta Walsh Interviews Patricia Kara from Deal or NO Deal
Couple of months ago, I had an amazing opportunity to interview the beautiful Patrica Kara for Beauty Interviews.
Patricia Kara is an actress, model, and a TV personality best known as Deal or No Deal’s #9. Patricia along with Tameka Jacobs, were the only ones chosen to be on the new Daytime Deal or No Deal with Howie Mandel, which premiered in September 2008. In addition, Patricia has appeared in over 20 television programs, such as, E! Entertainment’s Wild On, Extra, and the Golden Globes.
Read my interview with Patricia Kara where we chat about her love for hosting TV shows, how Deal or No deal revolutionized her career, beauty secrets, her upcoming calendar, and plans for the future.
Why have you decided on a career in hosting and reporting?
I started out with modeling about twenty years ago back in Chicago. That led me to Florida and New York. When I was in New York my modeling agency started to send me out to auditions for hosting and acting. I started booking jobs here and there. One job led to the next job. Then I moved to LA and kept working. And I love it! Anytime I can talk and get paid for it to, is just great. I find my job real easy, it is what I love to do. With hosting I get to try new and different things, depending on what I’m hosting about, and being part of them in a way most people don’t get to do. For example, if I do a show about wake boarding, I’ll try wake boarding. I’ve done a fishing show. I’ve also hosted a lot of sporting events, such as Kentucky Derby.
Marta Walsh Interviews Malin Akerman
Couple of months ago, thanks to Neutrogena, I was given an amazing opportunity to interview actress Malin Akerman for Beauty Interviews.
I was so excited for the interview because Malin Akerman is one of my favorite up and coming Hollywood actresses. After watching Malin Akerman in the film 27 Dresses opposite to Katherine Heigl, I am convinced Malin is the next it Hollywood actress. Malin’s acting style reminded me a bit of Cameran Diaz, especially in the film The Heartbreak Kid opposite to Ben Stiller. In the movie, Malin Akerman is very funny, witty, and is not afraid to make fun of herself.
Here it is, Marta Walsh interviews Malin Akerman about acting, and her collaboration with Neutrogena in the effort to educate people about skin cancer prevention:
What compelled you to partner with Neutrogena in the effort to educate people about skin cancer prevention?
This video and message is something I have a passion for because I understand the importance of checking your skin for suspicious moles. I recently had a suspicious mole removed on my face; I noticed it was changing shape and asked my dermatologist to examine it. I was one of the luckier ones.
If you had to pick one Neutrogena skincare product to incorporate into your skin cancer prevention routine, what would it be?
I would have to say Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 85 as it is really the “gold-standard” in sun protection. It contains Helioplex, which offers the highest level UVA sun protection available in the U.S., while shielding skin against sunburn and premature aging.
What are your top 3 beauty secrets?
Wear a moisturizing face cream with 30 or higher SPF every day. Use a gentle face wash to clean your skin every day (my favorite is Neutrogena foaming face wash) and remember to smile… it automatically makes you 10 times more beautiful!
