 Welcome back to my channel as you can tell by the title of this video it's my birthday today sorry for the unsteady hand i'm in the car with my dad say hello good morning and he's driving me to work because my car is at the garage i'm starting the day off today with caesarean sections which is really cool because all the babies i delivered today will have the same birthday as me how fun i have a very fun weekend planned so i'm excited and i can't wait to bring you guys along with sol hello um i finished work early today so we're going to the gem birthday i had one delivery and it was a girl yay little baby seppy and that's not what they named her but imagine if they did but you know like that's one thing that we like joke about like with parents and stuff i'm always like have you thought of anything that i know i'm like seppy's a good one so yeah we're going to the gym i'm so hungry but i just had some birthday cake from last night so that definitely curved my appetite and it's raining all of a sudden so it's raining quite heavily actually sol and i just finished our workout we're doing some structing and i don't know what we're doing after i'm literally laying like this in the gym the light's quite bad here but yeah i'm literally laying like that in the gym waiting for school and i don't know what we're doing after what did you call my that there's no way so i did some shopping and front cross and i thought i would show you what i got from spacing k and boots there's also like a larger bag which is basically her her stuff so from spacing k i ran out of so much makeup guys it was just essentially a makeup top up for me i got the sheer loose powder the translucent powder in the jumbo size the normal size is 38 pounds this one was 49 and it's got i think like 20 grams more of the product so so much more worth it it's essentially double the size for only 10 pounds more and it comes with the powder puff so fabulous i also ordered my quanta or stick from milk makeup which they deliver to you for free because they didn't have it in store perfect from boots i got my favorite all-time foundation ever it's the it cosmetic cc cream in medium tan the only thing i would say is the shade rubs off the bottle or isn't even printed on the bottle half the time which makes it so annoying so yeah make sure you memorize your shade i'm the shade medium tan it's my absolute favorite i have eczema so for me this just feels like i'm putting on a moisturizer but it has the best coverage i like it more than any foundation in the past couple weeks i've tried the dior foundation and also the nars foundation again and it just does not do my skin the justice that this does it's my fave i got the huda beauty eyeliner this is the lifeline a quick and easy pen i have repurchased this twice i love it so much and it's just really like fine it makes your eyeliner so much nicer then i got my favorite mascara this is the benefits they're real it's so good i tried the roller ball one roller lash one i didn't like it this one is essentially the best sorry if i move my camera around storage yeah the next eyebrow pencil is the next thing i got um it is so good so due for the anastasia bubbly hills eyebrow pencil and it just goes on so nicely on your brows which i had threaded today so they are looking much nicer than usual and then the last two things i got are contour and highlight from elf so i bought the hourglass concealer the viral one and it's really good but sometimes it can be too heavy of a cover is like too thick so um i'm gonna try the elf hydrating camo um concealer which i've used before but i think the shade i had last time was too light so i'll let you know how i get along with this and the halo wand contour from elf i got this because it's a cheap alternative to my milk cosmetics one that i'm waiting to be delivered so um in the meantime i obviously need something for the next few days because i'm literally all out of my makeup um so yeah i've got this one instead it's a liquid contour this is in the color medium tan and yeah i'll see how i get along with it i like the ones that have this kind of applicator it's a bit like the charlotte tilbury applicator um so i'll see if it's a good dupe for that because i tried the charlotte tilbury contour wands and i found them to just be a bit too liquidy and runny and they just exploded everywhere all the time i think a lot of people said that and have kind of gotten a bit over the charlotte tilbury contour wands um i love love love their blusher wands the matte blush wands oh my god they're my absolute favorite liquid blush but yeah the contour wands are not it for me for me it's definitely number one is the milk uh cosmetics bronzer stick so yeah can't wait for that to come but in meantime i'll see how i go so we've come for mexican food and we've got some different margaritas this is the spicy one oh this is the classic one and this is the watermelon so let's try this okay um we're going to the corner hotel for afternoon tea and i'm really excited it's going to be me and some my closest girlfriend um it's not all of them some of them had other commitments some of them are fasting some of them have lent so um yeah different food restrictions etc so yeah it's going to be a few of my close friends and i'm really excited it's um it's not no it's my vlog actually there was a picture she was like i can't believe you got the canon g7x left hand side working well to the to the to the first one you have cucumber with creme fraiche poppy seeds and capers then you have something you reach a guilt with the black chocolate in it and must have Chris um behind the camera like i've got as important time why do you sound like barry from the chuckle but there's like to me to you that does she felt like she was a gay dj call it some more way we would have some more of the egg sandwiches because those were good all that one and then the chicken bit into after one now and a bit into lando if you know then it's his most famous um like uh over the phone radio his most famous his most famous radio is him singing friday yeah yeah thank you let me explain what we have so we start from the top with the chocolate it's only a photo shoot once and this vlog i would do a haul of all of my birthday presents but before i do it i thought i'd tell you guys today is wednesday the 20th of march and iranian new year so to all my followers uh whether you are persian or not or whether you celebrate or not nor is mobarak i hope that this year brings you so much prosperity health happiness wealth everything that your heart desires and i'll give you a sneak peek of our norah's table it's been moved from where it was last night when i'd filmed like our little tiktok i have cute tiktoks of my family from norah's time so if you guys want to follow me on there it's persian underscore banni persian year is so exciting the way we set the table is in a specific way you need to have certain things on there that start with an s so in farsi they need to start with an s so uh apple for example so it might not start with an s in english but it does in farsi but anyway let me start with my gift first one i'll start with is this mystery box because i actually don't know who it's from it just got delivered to me but i know it's for my birthday and i think it's from my best friend celia and guys it is the croissant candle i can't tell you guys how excited i was when i opened this box because i've seen some vloggers who i follow posting about this saying it smells incredible and that makes your whole house smell like a croissant so i cannot wait to burn this so wherever it is most likely celia thank you so much and i can't wait to use it next up from my friend nat i got a one one one neck and decolletage mask i'm excited to try this one one one one skin is actually devised by um doctor alexandre derz who is a plastic surgeon based in highly street and i think and i think his wife's a doctor but i think she helps with his business and i've seen them post so it's quite cool that it's like a uk based company she also got me a one and a half hour sound healing therapy session which i cannot wait um is it therapy i don't know i'd call it therapy i love um going to salon baths i go to them regularly in my gym and i'm really into meditating and yeah just anything kind of spiritual i'm really into so i thought that was such a personal and thoughtful gift i love it so much and then from um my friend lily's mum i got this diary which i think is so adorable and i love you so much thank you it's a gratitude journal and i absolutely love that because like i said i'm such a spiritual person so it's really cool it says daily gratitudes focus goal trackers highlights of the day something that made you smile and just three forts um so i really like that i think it's such a cute pen that goes with it as well the color is lovely and it's a really nice concept and i can't wait to use it and i just think it was so sweet of her to even get me anything and then for my friend lily i got this hourglass lip i think it's like a lip tint is it cool um i already tried it on when she gave it to me it's in the color desire but i will just put it on for you guys to see as well so you twist it from the bottom and it looks like this and it feels really creamy and nice i think it's one of those that is perfect to just have in your handbag um to top up especially at work when i'm in clinic i feel like after lunch my lipstick always goes so it's really good for me to maybe keep my work bag from my parents i got an envelope of cash because sometimes they let me just choose my own present so um this was one of those years and my mum also booked from miha and signed it to go for afternoon tea which you very often front of this as well um at the door tester so as you guys would have seen in this vlog i love afternoon tea i find it so wholesome and fun just have a little glass of champagne have some great british sandwiches and cakes and pettisserie and yeah for me it's just such a classic thing to do if any of you guys aren't from england and you want to try something really cultural that's so fun like british culture i'd say go for an afternoon tea go to go for a fish and chips and go to a pub as well that's probably as british as it gets but afternoon tea is one of my favorite things to do and um yeah so she's booked that for me i love the one at the door tester so can't wait and then sol got me loads of gifts from the sachi um i will start off with this one it is this pink and it's pink white and black and it is this bikini's hop it's so gorgeous i like this got three colors in it because that way i can match three different um bottoms with it so either pink white gold or black four different bottoms i guess but it's harder to find something in this gold color to match with but this is so gorgeous um my gym has a spa and i like to go for a sauna session pretty much after each time i go to the gym um especially if i have the time to go i really like to just have a little spa sash and chill out and i'm always looking for new bikinis to wear to the gym because i feel like i wear the same comfy ones on a rotate so i'm really appreciative and also have some trips planned for this summer so definitely cannot go wrong with a bikini next one she got me this is the bottoms for it but it is again this black one like the sachi one and what's so cool about this forget the fact that the print is gorgeous is that it's actually double sided so the other side is just plain black and then it says the sachi on the back of it so it's really simple and fun and i can wear it both ways which i love and then the top to this is also double sided in the exact same print um and this is what it looks like and then from the back or the other side it's just got that same sachi on the inside that has the other way so i can wear it so many ways she ordered me the bottoms for the pink one too but it hasn't come yet because they didn't have my size in stock when she was in the store so um in the meantime i couldn't whilst i'm waiting i mean i'm not in a rush i can just wait for the bottoms to come but i could wear it with any other bottoms that i want and then the last gift for me to open is from syna and it's from lilybeton syna and i love buying each other like summery themed gifts i guess this gift from sol was summery themed as well but syna loves like anything vacation themed and i guess i do too because my favorite if you guys watch any of my travel vlogs they're mostly to really warm climates and i love like lying by beach you'll never really catch me on a cold holiday so um i get a lot of use out of my summer clothes and i like investing in nice pieces of summer clothes accessories and shoes etc so she got me this which i will show you guys it is these black monogrammed louis Vuitton sandals but i'm going to be honest with you guys i really don't like how it looks on my feet and i will show you so can you guys see so this is kind of how it looks on that was like such a bad show and tell but it looks like this my feet like holding on to dear life so it doesn't fall off um and i don't know maybe now it's going to be a little bit but i just don't i just don't love them i can't lie so i'm going to change them um and she already knows so um yeah i'm not hurting her feelings because she kind of randomly chose it it wasn't like super super like she thought about it for ages so she's not as upset or she's not upset that i'm changing it which is good for you um but if you guys have any suggestions of another sandal because i really have like i have like all the different um as well so i have like the orans the sheepers i have the kelly ones like the phone one which is so uncomfortable but the sheepers are comfy and the um orans are comfy so i might get some pink orans or i might get i don't know if anyone has a think of like even i could even change them for like some heels i was thinking i need some heels but like there's no heels that are standing out to me oh maybe the alaya ones that have the heart at the front i might go for that now that i've had a little think but anyway any of you guys can think what you think i would like so i could swap that out for let me know before i end my birthday vlog here i just want to kind of give a little reflection of how far i've come for myself and also to kind of shed some wisdom for you guys i just turned 28 and i think when i was younger the expectation of where i should be when i'm 28 what i should be doing and everything was so different and it's life is not exactly how i expected it and i don't mean that in a negative way actually quite in a positive way i think my life is so different to how i expected it and i've achieved so much for myself which i'm so proud of but i feel like society puts such a pressure on you with certain ages to have accomplished certain things whether that be in your career whether that be in your personal life or anything and i just want to tell you guys that everything will happen for you at the right time and whatever's meant to be for you will never ever pass you i believe that's so wholeheartedly that if something is meant for you and it's on the other side of the world it does not matter how it will find its way to you and if something is not meant for you even if it's in the palm of your hands you will never be able to grasp it so i have faith in that and i wanted to just share that wisdom with you guys that like if you're at a stage in your life where you're just a bit like unsure i just want to let you know that everything will work itself out and it'll work itself out at the perfect time and you're exactly where you're meant to be and so long as you understand that and you appreciate that and you take the time to reflect and be grateful for everything that you have everything that you will achieve and everything that you already have achieved and everything that you are even thinking of to be able to put your mind to like we should be so grateful that we even have like a concept of something that we might want to do some people might even be struggling without any inspiration and trust me if you just look at everything that you have and you express that gratitude i'm sure the universe will open up these doors for you for everything that you need and all that your heart desires and i really want to share some of my positive energy and love with you guys to end out this vlog i love you all so much and thank you again for all the birthday wishes that everyone has sent me and i will see you in my vlog next week bye
