Healthy Summer Prawn Souvlaki Wrap | Under 500 Calories

Hi everyone! Thanks for watching my Healthy Summer Prawn Souvlaki Wrap video! I've been really inspired by the warm weather, beautiful colours, plants, and flowers from Spring, and Summer coming up quickly, to be more active, and eat healthier. And because we all want to look and feel our best during the warmer months, I've been opting for lighter, and healthier meals.

So I wanted to share with you all, a calorie conscious, figure friendly, and DELICIOUS meal that's perfect for Summer! Let me know what you think :)

Sorry it's late; I filmed it a couple of weeks ago, but my mama came to visit me for 10 days, so I didn't have much time to edit! :(

Nutritional info: 500 calories (370 if cutting out second piece of pita) 38 grams of protein 11 grams of fat

MyFitnessPal search terms: Kristi-Anne's Tzatziki Kristi-Anne's Prawn Souvlaki Wrap with Tzatziki **If you search the term "Kristi-Anne's" you'll find both at the top of the list :) For a better scope of the breakdown, MFP also lists the macros for this meal in the nutritional information :)

 *** Serves 2 people as a main, and 3-4 as a side ***

 ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** 1 serving = 2 pita wraps, half of cooked prawns, and 6 tbsp. tzatziki :) The tzatziki is great for up to a couple of days in the fridge. :)

What you'll need! 

Tzatziki: - 500g, or 17 oz plain, 0% Greek yogurt - 1 long English cucumber - 3 cloves of garlic, pressed (or finely minced, if you don't love garlic use 1.5 cloves instead) - juice of half a lemon - 1.5 tbsp of white wine vinegar - 1.75 tbsp of chopped fresh dill (1.5 tsp. dried) - 2 tbsp olive oil - 1 tsp Kosher salt ( 1/2 tsp. if using table salt, add in gradually, and taste) - black pepper (to taste)

Prawns: - a 454 gram, or 16 ounce bag of thawed, peeled and deveined, tail on prawns - 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano (or 2 tsp dried) - 3 cloves of pressed garlic (or finely minced) - About a teaspoon of fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp dried) - juice of half a lemon - 2 tbsp olive oil - A few pinches of Kosher salt - Black pepper

Skewers: Bamboo or metal (if using bamboo, soak prior to grilling)

Wraps: - One package of whole wheat pita wraps

Instructions:

Tztaziki:  1. Peel, and seed your cucumber, and grate with a cheese grater. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place over a bowl in a mesh sieve, (or paper towel, clean coffee filter, cheese cloth, etc.) Let sit while prepping the rest of the ingredients - about 20 minutes is a good amount of time for the cucumber to start releasing its juices. 2. Press garlic, chop fresh dill (reserve about 1 teaspoon of dill for prawn souvlaki), and squeeze the juice from half a lemon into a dish. Set ingredients aside. 3. After cucumber has had a chance to sit, squeeze any additional liquids out of the cucumber with hands. Set cucumber aside. 4. Empty your Greek yogurt a bowl, add in cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, about 1.75 tablespoons from the chopped dill (remember to reserve some for prawns). Add white wine vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt and some black pepper. 5. Stir together ingredients until they are mixed, and the oil is well incorporated.

Prawns: 1. Chop about 2 tablespoons of fresh oregano, press 3 cloves of garlic, and squeeze the juices from half a lemon. Set aside. 2. Into your prawns, toss in oregano, garlic, and lemon juice. Add in reserved fresh dill from the tzatziki, a few pinches of kosher salt, some black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well so the prawns are coated with the marinade. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 30+ minutes. In the mean time soak your skewers, if using bamboo, and chop your vegetables for your wraps. 3. Remove prawns from fridge and skewer. 4. Preheat barbecue with lid closed for 5-10 minutes. When preheated, add prawns, and grill with an open lid. Grill prawns for about 4 minutes per side, or until opaque all the way through, and the prawns have taken on a bright coral-y pink colour.
 
Pita: 1. Warm pita on the barbecue over in-direct heat for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on them so they don't burn. Assembling wraps, and done!

And done! :)

Spring Makeup, Hairstyle + Outfit

Hi guys! So it is finally starting to warm up here in beautiful Vancouver and I have been inspired by all of the beautiful colors, and flowers from Spring so I have been LOVING pastel makeup, soft beautiful curls, and loose-knit sweaters paired with perfectly flowy skirts! Something about coral, mint, lavender, and dusty rose tones just feels so perfect for this time of year! Let me know what you think!! Spring Makeup, Hairstyle + Outfit

♥ How To Grow Massive Lashes FAST!♥

Hey dolls! So I have FINALLY filmed a video about my eyelashes and how to grow long eyelashes, after a ton of requests over the years: HOW TO GROW MASSIVE EYELASHES.

I hope it helps you. I've been absolutely shocked by the enormous growth in my eyelashes in such a small amount of time! I think one of the reasons people have failed results with castor oil is because of the grade, quality, and whether or not it is cold pressed. You can buy castor oil for a multitude of purposes so make sure you get one that is safe for the skin (you can get castor oil for car lubricant, you do NOT want to be putting that around your eyes haha).

Also, I noticed a difference in the effectiveness just by starting to use a castor oil that guarantees to penetrate the skin fully, and not leave any sticky residue - so if you're going to try it out, make sure you try to find one that isn't sticky as well! Also, it's important that the product you're using is PURE castor oil. You don't want to use a mixed substance.

While a mixed substance will probably still offer some moisturizing benefits, it won't offer the same nutrients your lashes will need to grow long. I got mine at Whole Foods for between $12 and $14, I believe. I haven't had much luck sourcing the exact type I have online anywhere like amazon, but I did find it on a kind of obscure looking website, which I will post the link for below :)

Get Ready With Me Makeup Tutorial

Hey, loves! So this video is actually almost a week old now. I filmed it the same night that I filmed my last video (a review of my Holy Grail hair care products), so if you're wondering why the makeup and clothes are the same, this is why :)

Check out my Holy Grail hair care video. I promise you, I never knew my shampoo and conditioner regime could deliver results that seem almost like a chemical treatment - that's HOW AMAZING these products are at creating the most amazingly shiny, soft, HEALTHY looking and feeling hair! Link below.

Since I was already going out, I thought I might as well film the makeup I was going to wear, and this is what I came up with. I was actually pretty pleased with the final look, because it was still noticeably there, without looking too dramatic, which I think is great for nights where you want to get dressed up, but don't know how much makeup is appropriate, it's kind of a safe zone between really intense and dramatic makeup, and too little makeup. Additionally, I adore MAC's Antiqued eyeshadow, and I give it far too little love for how beautiful it is, so I wanted to incorporate that in this look.

Hope you all enjoy! Below are all the products I used.

Best of the Best: Holy Grail Hair Care Products

Hey everyone! I've recently discovered the most amazing hair care products, and they're the best I've EVER used. I've used all ranges from high end (Kerastase) to drugstore (Suave), so you can imagine my surprise when out of no where I came across a product (or whole range of products to be exact) that have trumped all other products before. I couldn't wait until I filmed this video for you all, and I've been thinking about it ever since the first day I tried the Recoil shampoo and conditioner. Since then I've been on a mission to try as many of their products as possible, and not only have my experiences with them gotten better and better, but my hair has started to feel healthier and healthier with use. I urge you all to just try one of their products ONCE to see if you can see, and feel the difference for yourself!

I want to make a point of saying that I have absolutely no affiliation with AG hair products, and they have no idea of who I am or that I made this video (just in case there's any concern that this is a sponsored or promoted video).

Products I mentioned in this video:
AG Curl Recoil Curl Activating Shampoo
AG Curl Recoil Activating Conditioner
AG Moisture & Shine Fast Food Sulfate-Free Shampoo
AG Moisture & Shine Fast Food Leave on Condition
AG Moisture Xtramoist Moisturizing Shampoo
AG Moisture & Shine Ultramoist Conditioner

Tigi Rockaholic Livin' The Dream Sulfate-Free + Energy Shampoo
Suave Organics Conditioner (Coconut scent)

***********MUST WATCH VIDEO!************* (It's only 2 minutes long)
This is the AG's YouTube channel and they show how cheap shampoos use SALT (sodium chloride) to get our shampoos to lather. I'm starting to think the problem isn't with sulfates, and instead, is a problem with the activating ingredient, salt! I'm shocked!

Video about salt in shampoo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34wqte...


They have some really great information on their website! I found the Common Myths, and Key Ingredients sections particularly interesting.

How To Make Glühwein: Traditional Holiday Mulled Wine! :)

I hope you guys enjoyed this how-to/recipe type tutorial for making mulled wine (or what is known as Glühwein in Germany). I had so much fun filming it, and I was so in love with filming Christmas videos that were inspired by the traditions they have in Germany (where the modern celebration of Christmas came from) that I wanted to share my love, excitement, and enthusiasm, with all of you. Below is the recipe for my customized German Glühwein!

Recipe:

You'll need:

2 bottles of a dry red wine (and it is better if it's a cheaper bottle of wine; all the spices mask the flavor anyway hehe)
Whole star anise pods** (See ** below)
Whole black peppercorns**
Whole Clove spice**
Whole cinnamon sticks**
Whole allspice berries**
Honey
Orange juice
4 medium-large lemons
2 navel oranges

Amounts:

5-6 All spice berries
1/4 tsp. Whole cloves
1 tsp. Whole black peppercorns
2 Whole star anise pods
4 Whole cinnamon sticks (plus more for garnish)
5 Slices from a navel orange (plus more for garnish)
5 Slices from a lemon (plus more for garnish)
1/3 - 1/2 cup of honey (depending on how sweet you'd like your wine)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 bottles of dry red wine (we used a cabernet sauvignon)
1 1/2 cups of pulp-free orange juice


Instructions:

Add allspice berries, cloves, black peppercorns, and star anise pods, cinnamon sticks, orange and lemon slices into a coffee filter, pot, or large coffee urn. Add your wine, orange juice, and lemon juice into your pot/urn or coffee maker. Turn it on and let it sit to marry together for about 1.5 hrs - 2 hours (even after it has turned off so that the flavours mellow). If using the pot method, turn it on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, keep an eye on it and stir often, and then reduce to low heat for about another hour to an hour and a half!

When you're done feel free to use some Irish Coffee cups (mine were $2.50 from Walmart), garnish with a nice, long cinnamon stick and a couple orange slices (or lemon depending on preference) and you have an amazing drink that is perfect for the holidays (or any cold day :)).

Enjoy!!!

DIY Holiday Advent Calendar: Christmas Gift Wrapping

Learn how to make 3 different versions of an advent calendar - they'll be the fastest and easiest advent calendars you've seen to date (not to mention the most affordable, hehe). Let me know what you think in the comments below. I always use your guys' feedback to improve my videos, and it's so helpful to me! 



I sincerely apologize that this is up so late! I had spent the last 11 days trying to get this video up. Unfortunately the grading effects I added using Magic Bullet Looks ended up causing a glitch in FCP X on Mavericks, and since then I had been trying absolutely EVERYTHING I could think of to get this video exported... long story short, it took over a week to do so, but I had spent so long editing this video as it was, that I didn't just want to scrap it - if that makes any sense. So here it is! My take on the traditional advent calendar, DIY style. While I was editing this I realized it could also be the "host" package to deceive people when wrapping smaller sized gifts! Everyone says the best gifts come in small packages; here's a way to hide what that package might actually contain ;)

Advent calendars were invented in Germany about 200 years ago to count the days in December left until Christmas. It started with drawing chalk lines on people's doors and lighting 24 candles, and in 1905 the first advent calendar was printed. 

In Germany it is common to craft advent calendars for your family or friends and add candy or little gifts for the person that the calendar is for. 

Thank you. Love you all!

Kristi-Anne 

Below are the advent calendar printouts! :)

How to Look Like a Sexy Dinosaur: Vampire Diaries Hair--Rebekah Mikaelson

Hi everyone! So as promised, finally a post before the video goes live. Yay me! (Haha for any London Tipton fans out there). This is an inspired hair style from the Vampire Diaries episode: Dangerous Liaisons. Rebekah Mikaelson had her hair in an exquisite, perfectly polished down-do that was pulled back and elegant. It is actually a ponytail hidden behind a section of hair. In the episode I'm inclined to think there were some hair pieces involved because she managed to have a lot of additional length and her pony was incredibly voluminous, it looked AH-MAZING. I will also link this to my YouTube tutorial once it has gone live. In the mean time, I have some pictures of the inspired look below. And since I don't know the rights to any of the pictures I am posting, I am not able to show them in my YouTube video, luckily I am able to show them here! :)

[Click the photos to enlarge! :)]

(Click here to watch the tutorial in motion!)

As you can clearly see here she appears to have a LOT of hair which makes me think there may have been a hair piece attached as well.
