jkmuxo Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 PeopleCamila Alves on Her Diet Cheat Days: ‘I Enjoy the Pleasure Too Much’ Camila Alves knows how to make the most out of a whirwind trip to France.The model and PEOPLE.com lifestyle blogger accompanied husband Matthew McConaughey to the Cannes Film Festival for his Sea of Trees movie premiere this week, but she also took some time to herself to enjoy the important things in life: sweets.“I love ice cream and I love chocolate,” Alves confessed to PEOPLE at the Magnum and BCBGMAXAZRIA event Sunday, where she dipped custom ice cream bars for guests. “You know what my problem is? I enjoy the pleasure too much.”But like any star, “It’s a balance,” she said. “But you have to have your cheat day, you have to take your time to have the pleasure. Otherwise, what’s the point?”And Alves has a special connection to the Magnum brand: The ice cream was a special treat for her growing up in Brazil.“It was the fancy thing to get. With my brothers, I was like, ‘No, I’m not sharing!’” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkmuxo Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 PeopleThe Personal Reasons Camila Alves Says Teachers Help 'Change Kids' Lives' When Camila Alves first moved to the United States from Brazil when she was 15 years old, she couldn't read, write or speak English. "I didn't speak a word of English, zero, and I didn't have a lot of money," says Alves, 33, of her early teen years, before she became a model and long before meeting her husband-to-be, Matthew McConaughey.Alves enrolled in night classes at Redondo Beach High School, south of Los Angeles, California, and, along with a classroom of adults – many of whom couldn't read or write in their own country's native language, much less in English – she found inspiration in a very special elderly woman."There was a teacher who was really important in [showing] me that I could learn this language, that I could learn to communicate in this country. She was probably in her late 70s or so, and she was a sweetheart," she recalls."If you didn't have a ride, she would literally drive to your house and pick you up and take you to class. She would get up on the table to make sure we understood what she was trying to say, she would do dancing and singing and go above and beyond so we could learn. That's somebody who did change my life."This personal experience with a special teacher was but one reason Alves recently jumped at the chance to partner with Target on their education initiative, Thanks a Billion, a program committed to raising $5 million for schools across the country; it's all part of Target's $1 billion commitment to education by the end of 2015."If you think about it, all of us have one or more teachers who were instrumental," says Alves, whose two oldest kids, Levi, 6, and Vida, 5, are in school (her youngest is 2-year-old Livingston). "Education is so important. Education is a way of empowering people, it opens up so many doors and is fundamental to everybody. And teachers are not often appreciated in the way that they should be."For her part, and as part of Target's social campaign to express thanks to favorite teachers, Alves recognized a teacher and a coach from Warren Easton High School in New Orleans, a school where the Just Keep Livin Foundation, co-founded by Alves and McConaughey, runs one of their after-school fitness and wellness programs for high school students. (For every such message of "teacher gratitude" uploaded through the campaign's website, Target.com/ThanksaBillon, Target will donate $25 to a school of the person's choice.)"Today, those teachers on the ground are the ones who make a huge difference with all the work that we do [with the foundation]," she says. "It doesn't matter how much money Matthew and I raise, the charity events we put together, the programs and the curriculum, the ideas that we have – none of that matters if we don't have the right teachers on the ground. They're really helping us change those kids' lives."Fortunately, the next generation of McConaugheys have embraced being little students. "My kids love going to school. When my son started going to kindergarten, we asked him, 'How was it?' and his only complaint was that he didn't get to stay in there longer," says Alves, a lifestyle expert and PEOPLE blogger. Levi and Vida, she says, "have fun going to school. They enjoy learning."If ever the kids do balk at going to school or if they're being lazy, Alves finds a teaching moment. "I start doing scenarios for them," she says. "Throughout the day, we'll have things happen and I'll [ask], 'Without [school], how will you be able to read the sign?', 'How would you be able to count money?', or if we're opening a toy, I'll say, 'How are you going to be able to build the toy if you can't read the instructions?' "Most important, says Alves, the best teachers make learning fun. When she reads to the kids – the Jigsaw Jones Mystery series are currently popular in the McConaughey home – "I get into characters, every character has a different voice."But it's those in the front of the classroom who carry the heaviest load. "At the end of the day, it's the teacher that makes the difference," says Alves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Alves Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Matthew McConaughey Feels Grateful for Wife Camila Alves: "I Wake Up Next to Someone Who I Know Loves Me" by Mike Vulpo Tue., May. 5, 2015 6:41 PM PDT While he continues to book new roles for the big-screen, McConaughey hopes the long shoots and not always ideal hours can be a teachable moment for his kids. After winning an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, the actor's kids wanted an explanation as to what the special trophy was for. He immediately took them back to the time when daddy "was skinny." "He'd go to work every day and you'd be up and he was gone, but I'd come read to you and say goodnight," the Texas native recalled telling his youngest fans. "What they learned is not that if you go to work you get a trophy, but if you do something really good today, you can be rewarded for it later." It's also all about paying it forward and spreading your gifts with others. Today, McConaughey remains active with his foundation and clothing line Just Keep Livin. It's a small gesture that could prove to be a big difference in students' lives. "I've been given a lot with the help of the people around me," the 45-year-old explained. "And I think I've done a pretty good job of taking care of what I've been given." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vida Alves Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Old article yet pretty interesting to take a look at it Charity begins at home! Matthew McConaughey takes wife Camilla Alves and daughter Vida to help out at New Orleans fundraiser He's a lifelong Washington Redskins fan. But since it's for a good cause, Matthew McConaghey didn't mind being seen with the New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees on Saturday. The 45-year-old went down south on the weekend with his family to help out at an Amazing Race charity event hosted by the footballer. Every year Brees puts on a fundraising scavenger hunt through the French Quarter, and for the past number of them the Academy Award-winner has been on hand to help out, as his Just Keep Livin' charity is one of the benefactors. On Saturday he and his wife, Brazilian model Camilla Alves, and their five-year-old daughter Vida took his usual spot on a balcony overlooking the action, shouting instructions and giving clues to the participating four-person teams who paid around $2,000 to take part. Little Vida even threw Mardi Gras beads down to the racers, and treated the crowd to a make believe jam session on some toy instruments with Brees's young sons. Matthew and his wife donned matching grey 'Amazing Race' t-shirts, while he furthered his outdit with a scruffy beard and a black baseball cap bearing the word 'Alright' - a nod to his famous quote from in his breakout role in 1993's Dazed and Confused. In a recent interview with Haute Living Los Angeles, the actor spoke about why he likes to give back. 'I've been given a lot with the help of the people around me - and I think I've done a pretty good job of taking care of what I've been given,' he said. 'When I [became] successful and found what I wanted to do and was happy with that, I noticed that I had a whole lot more than a lot of people do. I was looking for a way to give back on a level like I do now, and saw there were millions of charities and millions of needs. 'I knew that I wanted to find something that was incentive-based; that I could prevent what I wanted to cure. He said he considered concentrating on children of all different ages, from Kindergarten up, until he settled on high-school kids. Those are your last years of childhood,' he said. 'You don't get demerits after that. If you screw up at 18, you might go straight to jail. I thought, "Let's get them at the crossroads." 'Then, "Which high school kids? Higher-end schools? Nah." We decided on lower-end schools in inner cities, where we thought young men and women needed it the most.' His Just Keep Livin Foundation is 'dedicated to helping teenage kids lead active lives and make healthy choices to become great men and women'. The Interstellar star also insisted he does not take life for granted - or his stunning wife. 'I wake up knowing the fact that this morning was not guaranteed to me,' he said. 'I've had times in my life when I did take that for granted. Many people do; it's a very basic thing. 'Now I get to wake up next to someone who I know loves me the way she does - my wife - who gave birth to our three beautiful, healthy children. 'I get to live in a nice place, and I have things to look forward to every day - work, play, and sometimes nothing at all. I look forward to Mondays,' he added. 'It's very rare to have a career where I don't need days off. I love going to work.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Alves Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ready for summer! Matthew McConaughey's wife Camila Alves looks radiant in white as she smiles while walking down NYC street By HELEN ZHAO FOR MAILONLINE Even with three young children to look after, Camila Alves isn't afraid to wear head-to-toe white. The 33-year-old model and designer looked radiant in a loose-fitted sheer tunic featuring exotic designs paired with skinny jeans as she stepped out in New York on Thursday. The wife of Matthew McConaughey put comfort first as she walked along in grey Converse sneakers and wore her dark hair swept up in a bun She added splashes of colour with her baby blue purse and bright pink nail polish. It was a solo outing for Camila, who was without her famous 45-year-old husband or their three children - Levi, six, Vida, five, and Livingston, two. The mum-of-three has been married to her Hollywood leading man since 2012, but the two have been in a relationship since 2006. Camila accompanied Matthew to the Cannes Film Festival in May, where she turned heads in a jaw-dropping gown with a very plunging neckline. There, she helped launch the Magnum Belgian Chocolate Wrap – a scarf that smells like Belgian chocolate – in partnership with Magnum Ice Cream and BCBG Max Azria. Camila also discussed how she got red carpet ready. I wore a really revealing dress, so we needed to make sure it was covered and there was enough double-stick tape,' she told The Hollywood Reporter. 'Because if you do move the wrong way, it's going to show, and you don't want that to happen.' Camila added that her husband Matthew 'definitely takes the last look.'
