What I love about Nivea is they're all about authenticity. The brand isn't pretending to be anything it isn't.

Obviously, I've reaped the benefits of sport and activity. But not many girls, as it turns out, even have the resources available to them to be physically active or to maintain that as they go through high school.

Hair and makeup has become part of my pre-competition routine. It's a quiet time, when I can reflect, I can put on some music - and I can mentally get in the zone of performance.

We have the opportunity to make people feel something, feel some emotion, and then also we get to be just pure athletes, and from a pure technical standpoint do things are really technically demanding, and very challenging. So it's that balance between the two that we love. And we love to play with the limits and push ourselves.

We're always learning about our bodies and learning how to take care of them properly and how to perform at our best.

I joined the Young Philanthropists Circle at the Musee Des Beaux Arts, we have little events every month where you learn about a different artist and you see the exhibit and you get an inside an inside look at the technique used.

I don't think I'm going to look back and wish that I spent more time worrying about my muscles or fat or whatever.

Women in figure skating, like in every other industry, are expected to conform to an unrealistic standard of beauty. Unhealthy habits are often encouraged to promote a thin frame, and young girls idealize a skewed definition of 'fit.'
