Q: Homemade non-alcoholic blue curacao is made by infusing juice with orange peels, so you want to make sure the peels are clean. Wash the oranges under running water and scrub the skin with a vegetable brush. This will remove dirt and other particles from the skin. You can also use clementines or mandarin oranges to make your homemade blue curacao. Use six smaller oranges in place of the larger naval oranges. Dry the oranges with a clean towel. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the outer orange rind from the fruit. Don't peel any of the white pith underneath, as this will make the drink bitter and unpleasant. If any pith comes off with the rind, shave it off using a paring knife. Transfer the orange peel slices to a large glass jar, such as a mason jar. Pour the white grape juice, apple cider vinegar, peach syrup, and apricot syrup over the orange peels. Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid. The juice, vinegar, and syrups used in this recipe replace the vodka and brandy that's usually used to make blue curacao. If you can't find peach or apricot syrup, replace the quantities with more white grape juice. Place the jar with the orange peels and juice in a cool, dry, and dark location. A pantry or dry basement is ideal. Leave the orange peels to steep in the juice solution for three weeks. Stir the contents of the jar each week, and then place the lid back on and return the jar to its spot. As the orange peels and juice mingle, the juice will become infused with orange flavor. The vinegar and sugar will help to preserve the solution as it steeps. After three weeks, remove the lid from the jar. Add the cloves to the solution. Put the lid back on and return the jar to its cool and dry location. Leave the mixture for one more day. This will give the cloves time to infuse some spiciness into the liquid, but not so long that the clove flavor becomes overpowering. Other spices you can add in place of or in addition to the cloves include a cinnamon stick and a tablespoon (6 g) of coriander seeds.
A: Wash the oranges. Peel the oranges. Combine the juice and peels. Steep the orange peels. Add the cloves.

Q: The fitness industry is constantly changing. New equipment, exercises, diets, programs, plans you name it are constantly being introduced. New research into human health and nutrition is always being published. As a group fitness instructor you should stay as up-to-date as possible with things happening in the industry. Some great ways to stay up-to-date include: subscribing to industry newsletters and journals, attending continuing education seminars and workshops, attending new classes offered by other instructors, etc. As a group fitness instructor, you'll need to be re-certified every 2 years. Re-certification usually requires a certain number of hours of continuing education units (CEUs) within that two-year span. Only some courses and activities will count towards your CEUs. Refer to your certification organization's website to determine which courses or workshops qualify as CEUs for your specific certification. Don't avoid a workshop or course just because it doesn't count towards a CEU, any new information you can learn about the industry is still important. Note that some workshops and courses may require the support of a gym or fitness centre before you're able to attend. This simply means you need to be currently employed to take the workshop or course. Once you become an instructor don't stop attending other classes. Attending other group fitness classes will not only give you some great ideas for your own classes, it may allow you to try out specific programs you aren't familiar with. Plus, it can help you build a great network of fellow group fitness instructor to which you can stay in contact and share industry information. While you can certainly improve your group fitness instructing skills on your own, it is always a good idea to ask a variety of other people what they think. Students might be able to provide you with ideas on what's working well and what they don't like. Mentors and supervisors may be able to point out areas they'd like to see you improve upon. And other group instructors may be able to provide you with tips and ideas on how to demonstrate a specific move in a way you hadn't thought about before. Your group instructor certification should just be the first step in your fitness career. This initial certification teaches you the basics and will allow you to teach a variety of fitness classes. But if there's a specific type of program you're really interested in (e.g. yoga, pilates, etc.) you may need to work towards additional certifications. Ask other group instructors where they obtained their additional certifications and if they would recommend that route. Ask your employer what additional certifications they respect and encourage. Use the internet to search for other group instructor certifications available in the United States.
A: Keep yourself up-to-date on industry trends. Ensure you obtain the proper number of continuing education units before your re-certification. Attend other instructors' classes. Obtain feedback from your students, mentor, supervisor, and other group instructors. Work to obtain other fitness certifications.

Q: Your bedroom, locker, school desk, or any other personal space can showcase your girly side. Choose a bright, soft color like pink, light purple, baby blue, or yellow to decorate with. You can get furniture, paint your walls, or just get fun accessories like decorative ribbons, posters, and stickers to make your space girly. Girly girls don't carry around stacks of loose paper instead of notebooks or leave old food sitting around their rooms. Start practicing cleaning up after yourself every day and putting everything back where you found it. Keep your school things organized and labeled. This is a great opportunity to buy more girly organizing accessories too--things like binders, boxes, and cases are a great way to show off your feminine side. You'll need a space to check your makeup, practice new hairstyles, and make sure your outfits fit you perfectly. Get a big mirror for your room and smaller ones for your locker and purse. You can even get a whole vanity furniture set if you're able to! Girly girls aren't afraid to be creative. Decorate your personal space with cute drawings, notes to your friends, and crafts. Buy some paint pens in bright colors and draw decorations on your pictures and posters, or learn a craft like scrapbooking or sewing that you can use to decorate your area.

Choose soft, bright colors to decorate with. Keep your things organized neatly. Get a vanity or mirrors. Show your creative side.
