I’m so excited to share with you my interview with one of the greatest supermodels of all time, Carol Alt. Any of you remember Carol featured on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1982? I was too young to remember but I do know I really loved her at NBC’s 2008 The Celebrity Apprentice, with Donald Trump. On that show, Carol came across as not only a very beautiful woman but also very smart one. A type of woman I look up to.  Carol is all about raw food and has a great book about the raw food lifestyle called: the Raw 50 (with David Roth forwarded by Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D.) I’m also very excited to let you know about Carol’s skincare line called: RAW Essentials.

If you are into green and clean skincare products you might want to learn more about Carol’s skincare line. I personally love the RAW Essentials Raw-finish Rigorous Face Scrub, RAW Eeentials Raw-juvenate Eye Recoup, and RAW VITA Eye Serum (image below).

In this interview Carol Alt talks about how did it all begin for her in the modeling world and some of her most memorable moments of her career. What led her create RAW Essentials and what makes it different than the rest. Gives advice to anyone interested in a RAW lifestyle and RAW food diet. Reveals what’s in her makeup bag. Gives word of wisdom to aspiring supermodels. And future plans.

Marta Walsh: Your career as a supermodel and actress is undeniably impressive. How did it all begin? What were some of your most memorable moments of your career?
Carol Alt: Oddly, my career kicked off right after a breakup with a boyfriend at the time! I was spotted waiting tables during my freshman year at Hofstra University, where I was enrolled in Army ROTC. The modeling opportunity was the perfect excuse to get off of Long Island and embark on an adventure.

Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare, Britain’s best kept beauty secret, was founded in 1995 by Liz Earle. Its main philosophy is to create products that really work on every skin type, using the finest quality naturally active ingredients. Liz Earle Skincare offers a simple, no-fuss routine yet very pampering or spa quality skincare routine for everyone.

The first time I encountered Liz Earle’s products was in Space NK Apothecary in Cheltenham, England, where I used to live few years ago. And last week was the first time I actually tried Liz Earle skincare products, and I’m surprised at myself for not trying them earlier. Liz Earle is my special treat skincare, very luxurious yet easy and simple to use. In fact Liz Earle’s Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser made me clean my face every morning and every night religiously! For women with a very hectic lifestyles, this concept is quite revolutionary:)
