I always love rosy cheeks, so I am all about blush.

I am a big fan of white sheets, hotel bedding and white towels!
My cottage is on Lake Huron and it's always nice to have the chance to get away and hear the waves crashing while reading a good book.
I don't often wear perfume, because I am sensitive to smells, but vanilla has a warmth to it, and it's inviting and soft.
My grandmother used to make the most incredible chicken divan, and my mom has carried out that tradition. It's my comfort food. It's amazing how you can almost taste the memories with a dish like that! And the more leftovers, the better.
My every day look would be mascara, blush and a little bit of lip balm.
Everyone has those insecurities, everyone doubts themselves but it's how we handle that as humans and as people and how we support one another and how we really embrace the things that make us unique.
To be held back by fear is to miss out on challenging yourself in different ways.
I always loved skating but you can get hardened by it and it's discouraging and disheartening.
Flawless' is an unattainable thing.
I love getting away from the rink and being in school.
There's something about an Olympic Games and representing Canada and being part of that greater team, so when we're 70, we'll be wanting to be Olympians still. That stays with you, I think.
Ultimately, and I can appreciate this as I get older, those quirks and those differences are what I find so attractive about other people, that's what I think being beautiful is.
I think that physical confidence transcends to all facets of your life.
I drink hot water and lemon every morning.
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 definitely dress based on my mood.
Part of the attraction to golf may be that it's just a score on the sheet and there's not much you can do about it.
Anytime an athlete deals with an injury, it forces you to revaluate and refocus.
I love golf clothes. I have a lot of fun with the little golf skirts and vests.
What I love about Nivea is they're all about authenticity. The brand isn't pretending to be anything it isn't.
I love the idea of women empowering other women. We need to come together and support one another and embrace one another.
What we portray on the ice is really important to us, and we love getting into character and telling a story.
A lot of the emotions we portray are universal themes that resonate with everyone, so the fact that people feel invested in our partnership is truly remarkable.
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.
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.'
The Nivea Care Cream changed my life.
I have this platform that I've worked hard for, but now I want to make use of it.
I do feel different whether I'm in the gym or on the ice when I have a cute outfit on. I think most girls can relate - you carry yourself differently.
I think that's the beauty of the Olympics. There's always a story. There's always someone you're invested in. There are so many Olympic moments that resonate with people all across Canada, and I think that's the beauty of it.
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.
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're in a pressure-filled sport for sure, but anything in an Olympic season is heightened, the highs are higher and the lows are lower, and everything just takes on grander proportions.
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.
At all times, there's discussion about the percentage of body fat I have, how I look on the ice and about how much skin a certain costume is showing.
When you have a sense of yourself in space, in your movement, in your muscles, you can express yourself through your body, your instrument. You learn so much about who you are and what your truth is.
I've been told I'm really bad at flirting.
I think the way you present yourself to the world, whatever kind of task you're tackling, is really important.
Any chance we have to skate for another Olympic medal, it's amazing.
Part of being an athlete is constantly striving for more. We're looking for perfection in a world where that doesn't exist. No matter what we do and what we accomplish or how we perform, we're always looking at areas we can improve upon.
The honour of carrying the Canadian flag... brings with it a sense of duty, privilege, and above all, great pride.
We come from a rich history of amazing sports and athletes here in Canada and there's been a long legacy before us that helped pave the way. And that's why I grew up believing I could go to the Olympics and stand on the podium one day.
I never want to be randomly posing with a product or putting my name to a brand arbitrarily.
For athletes, it is unhealthy to be one-sport focused, especially at a young age. I believe in exposing kids to lots of activities - there are great advantages to being a well-rounded athlete and human, no matter the field of play.
My big break occurred when I was six years old and met Scott Moir.
We're always learning about our bodies and learning how to take care of them properly and how to perform at our best.
I want to ensure that I'm sending the right messages and that I'm empowering others, and doing things that feel like they're in line with my values.
Truthfully, what we do in training is 10 times harder than what we ever have to do in a competition.
I've learned a lot about pain management.
I was so lucky. I grew up with an incredibly strong grandmother, mother and sister. All three, independent, fierce, clever women who were hard workers, had goals and visions for themselves, and were really ambitious. And, they didn't apologize for those goals.
