As we correspond via email on the subject, Aniston’s effervescence still manages to infuse every word. Her modern-day goddess status is such that it’s not only tethered to her rich and successful body of work but to her presence as a human being—candid, charming, down-to-earth, and a famous friend to many (not to mention a shrewd entrepreneur and investor), she’s a bonafide role model across generations.
Oh, I wish there was a story with some profound meaning behind it, but Lola was actually the name of my first car when I moved to California. Lola became a nickname for me, and when it came time to find a name for my company it felt like the perfect name for my haircare line.
JA: I’ve always found it fascinating. There was a period when my dad went to medical school, when acting slowed down for him, which is why we moved to Greece when I was five or six. So I had a doctor/actor (LOL) in the house who introduced me to the world of medicine and research. We would sit and watch medical programs during dinner.
Even like micro surgeries—not what you would normally want to watch during suppertime. That’s where the interest sparked, and I am always grateful to the science and medical community who advance our knowledge of the human body, our health, and how we can continue to thrive as we age.
JA: I drink a lot of water, move my body daily, try to eat whole, fresh foods, and get as much sleep as I can. That last part is chal- lenging for me, but it’s so important. I feel it when I don’t get enough rest.
In addition to all of that, I try to be really mindful about what I let into my head- space. Our world is really going through some challenges, and I know we all care a lot, but sometimes I think it’s imperative that we turn off the noise.
