Amber's words on …
- Cool things to do on the weekend: "I like going to bonfires (I live right near the beach), swimming, shopping and the movies."
- Bad habits: "I always put sand through the house when I get home from the beach 'cos I forget to wash my feet (that's what my Dad says anyway!)"
- Cool bands/artists: "I saw Blue King Brown live at The Great Escape and really liked them. I also like Coldplay, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. Right now, my favourite music is Angus and Julia Stone, The Beautiful Girls and Arctic Monkeys."

- Fav Nivea product: "The NIVEA Visage Young Control It Moisturiser — it absorbs really quick, so my skin doesn't look oily."

What is your most memorable snow moment?
I usually end up in a Ski Doo — once, I fell off the T-bar and had to be dug out of the snow with a shovel! So, my most memorable moment would have to be the first time I went up the T-bar and didn't stack it!
What can't you wait to do when you get to the snow?
Learning how to snowboard — it will be my first time!
What do you hope to DISCOVER during your snow trip?
I hope to get to know my friends better.
What is the most important thing you'll pack for your ski trip and why?
There's nothing more important when carving up the snow than NIVEA's absorbent moisturiser controlling glow!
