Say hello to Kiwi singer/songwriter Maxine Macaulay aka Goodnight My Darling.
Obsessed RN.
Currently bingeing:
I just finished watching the latest season of Stranger Things, & all of Friends for the millionth time :)
Song on repeat:

Favourite Insta account to follow:

Must have beauty product:
Wiki Skin Invigorate Body Oil :):) perfect for dry winter arms, legs, all over.
The item of clothing I’m definitely over wearing:
My Widdess Silk Asa top, in black & goes with everything.
Currently reading:

Can’t stop watching on TikTok:

Dreaming of:

Next place on the list to travel to:
Back to Berlin!
I’m currently inspired by:
The creative community of Te Whanganui-a-Tara. So many talented artists, musicians & people doing awesome things here.
My favourite way to relax is:
Write, sing, play, read, cuddle.
I stay healthy by:
Following that intuition. Sometimes it's mediations, therapy, exercise & other times it’s B-grade movies, fries & beer. A bit of everything. Overall I think staying connected with people/community is the most important thing for health. Relationships.
When I was younger…
If I could give my teenage self one bit of advice, what would it be:
CHILL OUT. But I probably wouldn’t have & that’s okay. It’s a tricky time.
My favourite part of being a teenager was:
All the firsts. First kiss, love, drunken funny nights, car, adventures with friends. It was all pretty exciting.
My dream job as a teen was:
To be an actor or a musician.
Best piece of advice I ever received as a teen was:
Predictable but ‘to not care what others think of me’ .
My biggest fashion faux-pas as a teenager was:
I had super super thin eyebrows & am lucky they grew back.
My first job was:
I worked for IDEA Services & it was amazing.
My biggest inspiration was:
My friends.
One thing I love about Gen Z is:
Their openness & warmth. I notice at gigs how genuinely kind Gen-Z are.
