My Version: Ella Minehan.
My Version chats to Kiwi stars and people of influence to give a glimpse into their time as a teen and see the things they are currently obsessed with!
Say hello to Kiwi songstress, Ella Minehan!
Obsessed RN.
Currently bingeing:
Up until a couple of days ago, Love Island (Davide & Ekin supremacy) but am now back on that Only Murders In The Building S2 vibe!!
Song on repeat:
RENAISSANCE - particularly, Heated, Cuff It, Alien Superstar, Energy, Virgo’s Groove, I’m That Girl…..actually, just every single track.
Favourite Insta account to follow:
Love keeping up with @kasiaastanicich! She’s my go to for skincare, pants advice and Dyson Airwrap Tutorials.
Must have beauty product:
I love any Charlotte Tilbury, but her blush wand in Pinkgasm is my fav!!
The item of clothing I’m definitely over wearing:
An oversized jumper and tights. Everyday I dress like I’m going to the gym - couldn’t be further from the truth!
Currently reading:
Bridgerton! Watched the series before reading the books (a first for me) so now I’m going through them! LOVE!
Snacking on:
Those new Collective Greek Yoghurt Splitz things with the like cookies and chocolate bits that you mix into the yoghurt?? OhmyGOD they're amazing. And dangerous.
Can’t stop watching on TikTok:
Very embarrassed to say I’m that person who never looks at TikTok and watches the reels about 2 weeks late on Instagram….sorry not sorry XX
Dreaming of:
A post pandemic world !! Can’t wait to see everything open up properly and for music to really flourish again - it’s been rough, but we’re all ready to go.
Next place on the list to travel to:
Ibiza. Genuinely praying.
I’m currently inspired by:
Beyoncé. And emerging NZ artists - man, kiwi’s are really killing it at the mo! But always Beyoncé.
My favourite way to relax is:
Online shopping *oops*.
I stay healthy by:
Drinking shit loads of water and eating shit loads of chocolate - life is all about balance !
When I was younger…
If I could give my teenage self one bit of advice, what would it be:
Be kinder to yourself!!
My favourite part of being a teenager was:
All the cool memories you make when you’re young and experiencing different moments for the first time! Also being able to experience One Direction in all their best friendly glory was amazing.
My dream job as a teen was:
Honestly just being a musician. Nothing’s changed!
Best piece of advice I ever received as a teen was:
Life’s about the journey, not the destination. Don’t be so focused on the future that you forget to enjoy the present!
My biggest fashion faux-pas as a teenager was:
It’s not really fashion but the levels of orange 16-year-old me went to during ball season was not great.
My first job was:
Like every young person ever, babysitting.
My biggest inspiration was:
Beyoncé, obviously.
One thing I love about Gen Z is:
The humour! Gen-Z is a different breed and I love/hate how savage everyone is.
