 I hope you're well. Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name is Sepi and welcome back to my annual family Christmas dinner vlog. As per most of my vlogs, it's not like my usual family Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, Sol is working today, so my first shout-out goes to Sol, my colleagues and every other person working right now in the NHS and in general, all the people who are working hard today on Christmas Day. Thank you so much for everything that you do and I'm sending so much love to you guys. So I did my makeup really cute today. We're actually having Christmas lunch so late. It's like four o'clock. It's dark. We've never had it when it's dark out. But Sina and I were really lazy and we slept in. But look at my makeup. I actually made such an effort with this makeup. Look at my eyes. I used the Fenty palette. Sol got me, I think, last year, all the year before for Christmas to do a greeny kind of eye makeup. That is to match my outfit. Let me show you my outfit. This is my outfit. Let me try and step back so you can get all of it. This is my outfit. I have paired it with my Christian Louboutins, which are glittery and the set is from Fashion Nova, which I really like. I basically need to take a picture before I eat because otherwise my stomach is not going to look flattering in this outfit at all. Also, I realized this year I'm looking at Instagram stories and so many people are not with their families or they have COVID or they're just not feeling themselves. I just think, even me, this isn't a normal Christmas for me, but I just want to send so much love and prayers to all of you guys. I want to wish you guys an incredible day and also a great start to the next year. I hope that you all stay positive and healthy. Let's get started with this vlog. This is our Christmas tree for the year and we finally have all the presents underneath it. Signers bought some little fun games for us to play and I actually like the decoration she did. The only thing that I hate about this tree is the lights. I literally feel like next year we need to get new lights because every year all I think about is how much I dislike the lights, but other than that I think it's such a beautiful decoration. So even though I don't like the lights, it's that I just wish it would stay on the red and yellow setting to match the theme of the tree. But yeah, so exciting. So the other thing that I always wonder is when do you guys open your presents? So the order in my family is that we wake up, we have lunch because we wake up quite late because usually the night before we go to like the local pub or whatever, like we have people around for drinks. Obviously that didn't happen this year but traditionally that's what we do. So we wake up and then we have lunch and then after lunch we sit down and open our presents and then after we open our presents and we're still probably feeling sickly for we then go and have dessert. So I kind of want to know what does everyone do? Like what's your order? I always just wonder that because I see a lot of people open their gifts first thing in the morning and then like, but what do you have to look forward to throughout the day after you've eaten? I don't know, that's just my mentality. So let me know what you think. Dad, why are you wearing red? Because you're mom wearing red. Because every year you wear pink and you always get a stain on it. So I want to change it with the pink. Yeah, I think you need to wear pink as well because otherwise it just won't be you at Christmas. You look very pretty. Thank you, dear. Also traditionally everyone in my family has to hang a bobble and I haven't hung mine yet. My mom is like having a go at me. So let me just do that now. Oh, where do I put it? Where do I put it? This tree is already so cool. Oh, here we go. Oops. Oh well. No one's gonna notice that apart from you guys now. Mom, say hi to my vlog. Show them your dress. Merry Christmas. Thank you. It's the most wonderful time all of you and I hope all of us healthy and long, nice, live. No place to go. There's snow, there's snow, there's snow. What are you doing? Don't put it on the cheeseboard, are you mad? She made the cheeseboard. It's really, really fantastic. It's not with Nutella though. No, it's not with Nutella. It's basic. This is my cheeseboard, guys, so my mom's coming to. Wow. It's all being sponsored by Marks and Spencer. I want to say sponsored. I mean, I paid for it. Dad, why is Rocky not in his Christmas outfit? Oh, you changed to a pink shirt. I told him you can't, like, it can't be Christmas if he's not in a pink shirt. Bad job, Benaz Araman. Susie needs to do a Christmas song. I'm not even joking. Christmas tradition. My dad is already asleep on the sofa after Christmas land. Here we go. It wouldn't be Christmas if he wasn't here asleep. So are you guys ready to open the presents? These are all the presents. What you mean to me? Oh, Christmas tree. My cousin's too. My brother's flew in this afternoon. I'll use something. So in my previous vlog, you know how Sol and I went secret Santa shopping. She told me she is Sinor's secret Santa. So she made me pick out a gift for Sinor. I was really selfless and picked her something that I really like. So you guys saw me unbox and you saw the gift, but this is literally something that I absolutely love. I am obsessed with the new Dior and I love the whole saddle shape and she got me the card holder. Let me show you the inside. So this is the inside of it. It fits so many different cards and it's got space on the back and I am just beyond obsessed. I love this so much. I always get a new card holder like every one or two years and it's been two years since I got my last one. So this came in a perfect timing. I'm such a card holder gal. Anyone who knows me, I don't really have cash or I don't carry coins or anything. So card holders are the ideal gift for me. So I love you so much Sol. So then my mum handed me the gift because Sol's always see it work. She was like, this was actually for you. So I was very shocked and I love it. She also got me, so she also got me this bag of goodies. So the actual bag itself is from Benefit. So she got me this Zoeva, this Zoeva mini palette. The Hula bronzer, which is like an OG bronzer and these colors. Those are the colors for my shellac and then Sina also got me a set of shellac colors. So hopefully even though I can't wear nail polish at work, I will have a very nice pedicure under my tights. I love all my gifts. I'm so grateful. I love everything and I know that this year isn't like a typical Christmas. Nothing's normal about it. So it doesn't feel like Christmas. It feels like a very weird party. That's how I can explain it. It doesn't feel like Christmas because Sol's not here. But nonetheless, I'm very grateful for everything and for everyone and I'm sending you guys all so much love and also these gifts were on my way of bragging. I know that so many people can't get presents this year or can't afford anything or can't afford the things that they might have the previous year or just in general. Tough times are around for all of us and I'm very sorry if it seemed like I was showing off. I'm absolutely not. But I love you guys so much and I just wanted to share what I got for the people who want to see and are interested in seeing every year because you guys watch my Christmas vlogs. My secret answer was my mom so you guys saw what I got her there as well. Anyway, now I am dressed in my Christmas jump out so we are going to have dessert and more drinks. I've been having mimosas the whole time. So let Christmas continue. Guys, I can't cope. How cute is my little Santa? Oh my God. I'm so excited because the best part of the day is about to come. After presents, it's always dessert. For you or for me? I know. What is for dessert? All right, sticky toffee pudding. Oh my God. Bread and butter pudding. So bread and butter pudding and sticky toffee pudding. So I was in charge. But who chose it? Just be real. Steppy chose it. I had to call her but I was in charge of getting all the dessert. I just want to put it out there. She went to M&S and bought the desserts that I buy every year so. Yeah but I called you and asked you. I called her and I said, Steppy, what should I get? Because I really couldn't. I was like, I didn't know what to get because I didn't want Steppy to be like, oh I don't like what you got. So I was like. Also where's your outfit from? This dress is from Motel. I bought a red dress and when I wore it I was like, I've seen this dress before and don't say it's identical to mommy's red dress that she loves so much and I was like, I can't wear this. It looks like I'm wearing the same dress. So I wore this one but I love it. It's so cute. When did you get this? It's from Motel. I just got it from you. It's brand new. Really? I haven't shopped from Motel in such a long time. But I'd love it even. Heather, give Sina a kiss to say thank you for the dessert. He's eating the dessert. Come and see the dessert. He bought me the best Christmas present you guys. He was my secret Santa. What did he get you? And he got basically, I didn't even know who my secret Santa was. I was like, where is my secret Santa? I want this, this, this, this, this and he went and bought me. Sina's like a, Sina's a kid. She knows exactly what she wants. Sina's exactly what she wants. And she really wanted noise cancelling her phone. I'm caught in a lullaby. I want to ask you, I would say exactly what I want for Christmas. My Christmas gift was the best love you so. Shout out for your watching. Wait, what? I just want to say that so you're a bitch because I'm sorry but I want a deal of lovey pads and I don't want the nail polish. I'll change it with the pad. No, I love the nail polish. Wow, this is for all this dessert. Yeah, you didn't answer my question. You're distracted. He just woke up from his nap. So my room is looking like really clean but lol, there's a TV in the middle of it. Don't mind that. I've just come out the shower lol. I'm going to put a face mask on. Hold on, I will show you which one. Don't watch how messy this is by the way. So I think I'm going to do this one. The Ultra Moisturizing and Braining one by Sephora in Lychee. Actually my skin's feeling really sensitive. I think I'm going to go for this one instead. It is the nourishing and smoothing. So I'm going to put on this Sephora face mask. It is the coconut nourishing and smoothie mask. And my skin is really broken out right now. It's awful. I've just come out the shower. But yeah, I want to put this on. I really want a new exfoliating scrub. And I don't know if you guys can relate, but you know when you're like, I can't even remember what I used to use as an exfoliator. My mind's gone blank. But I remember I used to have loads of face washes and face scrubs. And I used to really enjoy my exfoliator. I just cannot remember the life of me when it was. So if you guys have any recommendations, then do please let me know. Because I am in the market for one. And especially now with all the sales happening, it will be the perfect time to buy one. I also saw the Summer Fridays jet lag mask. Sorry, my dad is always telling his stories loud and with excitement. If you can hear that. Yeah, anyway, going back to what I was saying. The Summer Fridays jet lag mask. I saw the super size one for sale with like 30% off on Netaporta. And I've heard loads of people like rave about it. But I don't know like what it's for basically. Like is it like a daily? Is it a weekly? Is it like to clear out skin? What like what is it for? Like I don't I just yeah. So if someone knows if it's good, let me know. But for an exfoliating scrub kind of wash, please give me your recommendations. I am on the market. Oh my god. Why am I finding it so difficult to get this face mask? Oh yeah, there we go. So I'm going to pop this on. And then I'm going to pop some TV on. The reason why by the way there is a TV in the middle of my room is because Oh my god, I actually can't do myself seriously. Oh, this feels so nice and cool that I'm not even going to lie to you guys. Oh no, it's the nose bit stuck underneath. So I don't really care. So yeah, going back. So the reason why, oh this feels so nice. The reason why there's a TV in the middle of my room is because I haven't decided I want to move the furniture around in my bedroom a little bit and I haven't decided where to put it. And I wanted a TV in my room because I've never ever had one. And I spent some time in Sina's room, like living in her room for a week about a month ago. And one thing I really found that I laughed was her TV in her room. So I was like, okay, I really need one. So that is why we have come to the conclusion kids. I'm basically going to be one of those people who have a TV in their room, which I never thought I'd be. And I always thought was bad and I will never allow for my kids. So yeah, Netflix recommendations hit me up. I'm going to come back to say bye to you once this is off because I just cannot leave this video looking so hideous. We are adding to the skincare with water and lemon. I know I don't drink enough water. Oh my god, I actually can't. I'm going to come back to you when this is off because I just can't do it on myself right now. So this is the mask off. Oh my god. Sorry. Downstairs is a whole debate going on about if going outside in the cold will make you catch a cold. Like are you more likely to catch a cold going out in the cold? Which is such a Iranian topic. But anyway, that was so untaxable. Anyway, I'm going to end this vlog here. I hope that you guys have enjoyed my annual Christmas vlog. It's a real shame. Actually, I have one more thing to show you before I end the vlog. So I actually got some more Christmas presents that I want to show you guys that I got like before under the tree. So first up was these trainers. They are from Nike and they are so cute and pretty. I love them. They're for running. I've recently really got into running so I thought this was such a thoughtful gift. And I've really wanted new running trainers so I'm just so happy about that. And then these weren't technically gifts from people but from the brand. So thank you Public Desire. They sent me a couple pairs of shoes for Christmas. And the first one, a sign that is literally obsessed with, it is these pair of boots which I was contemplating wearing on Christmas Day with like a white t-shirt. Like a white designer t-shirt style and these boots. Yeah, super sexy. But then I decided like if I got tired and took off my shoes I'd be spending Christmas Day in a t-shirt and that's just not my style. So yeah, decided against that. But you guys will probably see that outfit drip on the gram soon. And then the last pair of shoes I got also from Public Desire are these boots. I thought they'd be so perfect for work. Look at that. They're so cute and they've got like this metal tip toe which I absolutely love. Signers like this know where you're going to be able to wear this to work. Like your feet are going to die. But I really want to try it. The only problem with my work is the car park is an absolute what can I say, construction site. What are the rest of the way to put it? Like it's got flooding everywhere. So I'd probably need to like take shoes and then change into this which seems like so much effort. But I am that kind of gal. Like I am that guy, you know, who like would go that extra mile to wear these shoes that no one will probably notice. Anyway, might be coming to award near you soon. So yes, that is all my Christmas presents which I am so grateful for. I'm going to end this vlog here. I hope you guys have enjoyed my annual Christmas vlog.
