Final week, Shay Mitchell squeezed us into her schedule to speak about Fairly Little Liars, Dollface, motherhood, her partnership with Hydralyte, and a lot extra! As an enormous Shay fan, I could not consider a greater technique to spend a morning than chatting along with her about our shared favourite Filipino dishes and gushing over #Emison. Here is every thing we talked about (spoilers forward for PLL, The Perfectionists, and Dollface!):
1. What are you at the moment binge-watching?
I’m virtually finished with Ozark, so there’s that. I completed Yellowstone, which I used to be obsessive about. Additionally, Cash Heist was one in every of my favourite reveals of final 12 months.
2. Who have you ever been probably the most starstruck by?
I feel Beyoncé. I’m an enormous fan, and all people is aware of that. However actually, on the finish of the day, I feel that everyone is simply folks. I meet some folks typically, and I am like, “Oh, I am in awe of your expertise.” And that is extra thrilling to me than assembly a celeb. If I meet an ideal photographer who shoots for Nationwide Geographic, I am extra starstruck by that than the precise particular person simply because they seem to be a movie star, you recognize?
3. You shared rather a lot about your first being pregnant and your psychological well being whereas going via it. What’s one thing about psychological well being and being pregnant you wished extra folks talked about?
I feel the primary time round, it was tremendous essential for me to speak about prepartum melancholy. I hadn’t heard a lot about it, which is why I sort of went on a complete factor talking about my expertise. I wished folks to really feel like they weren’t “loopy,” like they weren’t alone in the event that they weren’t feeling like an excellent goddess throughout their being pregnant. It is okay to really not really feel superb. That does not imply that you simply’re not grateful to be pregnant — I’m extraordinarily grateful. However there have been additionally instances the place I used to be like, that is shitty. And that is okay! We do not all need to be pregnant, glowing goddesses the entire whole time.
4. How did you first develop into concerned with Hydralyte?
I’ve all the time been an avid water shopper. This time round, clearly, I used to be pregnant, and so I used to be a bit extra drained and sluggish. However there was one thing else that simply wasn’t kicking in. I used to be speaking to my physician, and so they have been like, “You want extra electrolytes, attempt including these in.” I am not a fan of sports activities drinks or coconut water, simply because there’s a lot sugar in them. So, my pal really useful Hydralyte, and I grew to become a brilliant fan of it. I beloved it, did my analysis on it, and was like, “Oh my God, that is superior. I wish to work with them.” Partnering with them — and now possibly popping out with my very own little one thing, one thing — it is simply cool as a result of it actually helped me with my [second] being pregnant. Throughout my first being pregnant, I sat in mattress and watched Sport of Thrones. However this time round, I’ve gotta maintain it shifting.
