Congratulations on the house. About kids, you don't have to do anything you are not ready for. Whether you have kids or not, how old you will be when you start trying, and all that jazz. It's 100% your and your husband's choice. Don't let anyone pressure you into something you are not ready for.

you are so incredibly kind

I have loved watching you grow over the years! I feel like you are truly your own person and confident in the kind of woman you are and strive to be.

Congrats on the house! 🎉 Back in late 2020, we found out we were pregnant with our first. We weren’t planning, but we accepted the start of our family growth. In June 2021, she was stillborn six days before her due date. After that, we were adamant on having another and now our rainbow girl is 7 months old. Experiencing living motherhood now, we found out that each parent needs to be 100% ENTHUSIASTICALLY ready. I think the only reason we’ve survived postpartum is because of that. While parenthood is so rewarding, it’s also so demanding and such a life change. Until you both feel enthusiastically ready, enjoy your marriage as a family of two and the independence of a childfree life! 😊

Coming from someone that had their first child at 19, ENJOY your time with your husband and the you time you can have whenever! I am always so supportive of those that say they don't want kids or want to wait, like good for you for realizing this! Congrats on your BEAUTIFUL home!!

This felt like coming over tea to catch up with a dear friend. Your attitude and honesty are so refreshing. Prayers for you and Daniel for wisdom and peace with difficult decisions such as having kids! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us ❤

Congratulations on the new house! Girl your kitchen is gorgeous! Enjoy it. Can’t wait to see your pantry organization.

Girl, I’m so happy for you! Congratulations! Your success just makes me feel like my day will come! Thank you for talking about decisions around having children and the pressure that comes with it AND about contemplating a breast reduction. Both of these things have been heavy on my mind. I appreciate your openness.

Congratulations on the new house! What we got to see was beautiful. And thank you for the update. I feel like it's been so long since we've heard from you.

Aww I'm so happy for you both on the new house! 💗 love the built in cabinet and the walk in pantry is amazing! Also, love your hair! I have similar hair texture as you so I understand the weighing down issues. I will have to try the Eva NYC product for sure! And I totally understand the pressure of having kids. Me being 31 going to be 32 and my husband and I are still trying to reach some goals before trying. I'm hoping in two years we can but again you never know what can come up health issue wise. I just have a feeling with how long iv been on birth control and not having a cycle for the past 10 years it might take us a while. Anyway, happy new year to you both and house warming wishes! Can't wait to see the whole thing soon! 🐱💗

You look stunning!! So happy for you!! Take your time, your the one who has to do the majority of tasks when it comes to being a parent to your kidos! Do it when your ready!💖💖

India, such a good chat. Love your beautiful new kitchen! Love you in that amazing blue sweatshirt! Your eyes were popping 💙💙💙💙

Congratulations India! Having a house that your can share with your best friend and build a life together is truly a blessing! I often think of the people who can not afford a house of their own, or who don't even have a home to live in and it makes me more grateful for what i have. You and Daniel are a beautiful couple and should do things on your own terms! If you are not ready for kids, then don't have them! If you aren't ever ready for kids...that is fine too! It's your life and you make your own decisions.

So proud of you and Daniel on the new house! That wood hutch and the island counter finish is GORGEOUS! I NEED THAT PANTRY. Your hair looks so beautiful! EvaNYC does need a gel! But hey, I totally understand the dryness you’re getting from accutane. I’ve never taken that but I also dealt with some dryness as well when I was on acne medication. Lastly, on the kids situation: please do not let anyone pressure you and Daniel into having kids! That decision is btwn you and him only! It’s nobody else’s business and I know that you’re smart enough to weigh the options/get advice from your doctor/obgyn. You’re already very well informed! Believe in yourself, you got this and God’s got you!

Girl that pantry is fricking awesome!!! Major congrats on your new home.

Congratulations on your new house!😍 I need time give eva nyc a try! Yes! ILIA is my favorite mascara!😀

India, so much is happening for you and it's so exciting to see all of the adventures. From hair changes, to thinking about the best time for children in you and your husband's life, moving and feeling at home in your new home, it's all fulfilling. Enjoy your time with your hubby. Only you two can know what is best for your relationship. 💗

Giiiirrrl!!!! That kitchen is EVERYTHING and you don’t even have it setup yet, such a blessing! And that pantry 😍😍 wishing you and your husband many happy moments in that kitchen creating memories to last a lifetime! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Hi India, CONGRATULATIONS on the new home! Take your time to enjoy moving in and setting everything up. I knew when I was very young that I did not want to have children. When I met my husband to be and things started to get serious, I made sure he knew that. For him coming from a family of 8 children plus being raised with a few cousins, he was the oldest so he was fine with that. As soon as we got married the questions started about when we were going to start a family and when I would say we were not having any, you could see that look, like what kind of people are we and then of course the statement, oh you'll change your mind which did not happen. ENJOY your life and set your own paths. Everything will come in good time as God knows the path he has for you both so don't stress. We are all here for you and enjoy you sharing your life and honesty with us! Thank you for all the great reviews!

Getting a breast reduction was the best thing I ever did for myself. I had mine 18 years ago and have never regretted it for a moment. It was a literal weight lifted off my shoulders, not to mention how much better they look with the lift. I knew adoption would be in my husband and my future, so I had my reduction at a young age. That being said, my husband and I were married for 11 years before adopting. I like that we had so many years together before adding kids. But for some, waiting that long can make the adjustment harder when kids come along. I grew up hearing my mom say she felt pressured into having kids right away and she wished that she had waited, so I allowed myself the time. Using onion juice as a pre-poo greatly reduced my shedding. It slows down the growth/shedding cycle. But like accutane, if you stop using it, the hairs that slowed down in shedding will then shed. Some people’s hair holds onto the onion smell even after shampooing and conditioning. I can smell it when my hair is wet, but once I apply stylers and dry my hair, I can’t smell it anymore.

Congratulations on your new house India! Very happy for you and your husband :)

Congrats on the new house it looks lovely and I wish you both many many happy years in it together. I think as you have just moved, which is very stressful, you should just take some time for you and Daniel, and the pups, to enjoy your new home for a while and then revisit the kids situation when you are more settled.

Girl I love the kitchen and the pantry is amazing. Your hair experience sounds just like pregnancy and postpartum cycle. Thick and full during pregnancy and hair lost after. Trust it gets better, it’s just a crazy ride. Your hair is still pretty. You and Hubby will have them at your own time if and when you decide. Just enjoy each other, your home, and the fur babies.

The Ilia limitless lass is my fav, separates lashes like none other! Congrats on the house!

Congratulations on your new house! This is so exciting, enjoy it! Also, don't stress about babies, it will happen when you are ready.

Congratulations!! ❤🎉

Congrats on the New house!!! That's amazing! 🙌🏻Regarding kids, I totally understand, about your mom and friends and all that, at the end, people can say whatever they want, but it's your and your husband's choice, because you are the ones that are going to be responsibles for the kids, responsibles for the money, for the education, so as a recommendation, take your time and think on you and your partner! God Bless ❤️

I was completely ready when we decided to start trying for our baby. During pregnancy, I definitely had periods where I was like " ohmygosh, who let me make this decision? What adult let this happen" (I was 30, definitely the adult 😬). And so many similar moments during those early months. Now she's 21 months, and all three of us have found our stride and it's truly beautiful. But my husband and I have been together since we were 19, and it took us alllll through our 20s to hit the point where we both felt like it was the right time. Your intuition is good 🩵

Omg me too! My husband and I knew we wanted to wait. At the time, we were married for 6 years and it wasnt until a few months after we bought our first house that we felt like we wanted to expand out family. My daughter is now 18 months old and Im 30. We deff. Felt pressure from family but Im so glad we waited until we felt ready. I agree your intuition never fails you.

I had externe hair loss due to iron deficiency and honestly what helped was not washing my hair for as long as possible, patience and not stressing about it. You look great anyways!💓

My curly hair is also super fine. I've been loving the verb curl line lately and specifically their volume spray. Their products make my hair a lot more voluminous!

I'm the Gal that doesn't have kids and never wanted kids. Definitely felt the pressure from people always asking when and why. Do you! Congratulations on your new house!

Your kitchen looks great! Very rich looking, but comfortable, as well.

Hey girl. I was a very full dd and had a reduction to a b-c cup. BEST DECISION EVER! No more expensive bras to minimize and harness up the puppies and also the clothes you will be able to wear afterwards. LIFE CHANGING. no more shoulder, neck, back pain, indentions of the bra strap in ur shoulder, NOTHING! Best pain I ever felt. You won't regret it🙂 I wasn't able to have kids, so I can't speak on that aspect of it. I'm 44 and had mine at 30.

Congrats to you and your hubby on the new house! It is beautiful! Wishing many happy days and memories there. You look beautiful in this video, as always. It's correct that you never really feel 'ready to have kids, but they are a blessing for God, and I think you should embark on that journey in the next year :) You will make a great Mom!

Love your kitchen! Your home is beautiful. Congratulations!

I plan on having a reduction after kids too. We just had our first and oh my gosh- my back and shoulders have never hurt more😂 (but worth it) thank you for your honesty in all your videos! Love it ❤ congrats on the beautiful home!

I just had a breast reduction and lift four weeks ago. I waited until after kids and nursing, which I don't regret, however, I was so big, 34F, that when my milk came in I was an H and literally my boob was twice the size of my babies heads. It was very difficult to breastfeed due to the size. Again, I don't regret it but girl, breastfeeding in public with a little blanket over you is NOT happening! 😂 I am recovering now, a 34C. It is a big decision and the recovery is long but so far I am glad I did it. I may be too close to really say but I tried on a spaghetti strap dress and almost cried. No bra. Words cannot explain.

Always love listening to your videos! I do understand how you feel with everything moving at once. No, there is not ever a "perfect" time to have children. I believe it's more of a feeling between you and your partner. My husband and I have been married almost 8 years and we do not want to have children. It took a long time for family to understand. Even today I still feel the pressure to have children, but my husband and I know how we feel about the topic. I wish you peace as you move through this new chapter of your life, and don't forget to give yourself grace!

Getting to know each other takes time. Lots I’ve time. Enjoy your youth and each other. Kids are meant to be a blessing. Not a necessity ❤

🎊congratulations 🎊 Truly happy for you and sending ❤️. Take vitamins for your hair, girl! But don't worry too much about it because it looks exactly the same! Beautiful as always. Maybe you have enough to spare... so excited for you. Look at your handsome hubby in there too!!

Thanks for sharing, India! Love your new house!!! I can share that I resonate a lot with your "is it time for children" talk. I just turned 30, and as a kid, I also adored young moms and thought I'd love to be one. I actually married my incredible husband that is also my highschool sweetheart (married only 2 years ago but non religious, so kids were considered an option much earlier). So we basically had everything "laid out" for us to have kids young, however we realize we actually don't feel it now, and we want to have a good reason to have them. I think our world is complex, and if we're going to introduce new souls into it we would like to make sure that we give them a really good life, that their parents are patient and loving towards them, can provide for them, and that we ourselves are still happy as a couple. For us, we just tell people who ask us "when are you having kids" that we currently just know that "now we don't". It might shift with time, but this is were we are at and we shouldn't apologize for that any more. I also feel you with your mom getting older, we both are the youngest in our families and so our folks are 65+! And still, we know that it's not a good reason for us, on its own, to have them. Kids deserves parents that wanted them and love them❤

girl I missed you so much, I’m so glad you’re back and I am SO looking forward to more “new house” content in the future. you look beautiful and I love you beyond words. don’t allow the pressure of the world to control when it’s time for you to have children. that is for you, your husband, and, more importantly, God to decide. your mom already has granddogs!! 🐩🐩 I love you India. You are doing amazing, dear friend. ❤️ I am praying for you!

Congratulations to you both on the house. Kids can come when you're both ready. When i had my babies, I never produced milk. My aunt told me not to feel bad. She was the same way. They were all bottle fed and are fine. 22, 18, and 17. I'm 50. Hugs and lots of love!

Hi! I'm a rare KZread commenter but this is something I've been passionate about for the last 20 years of my life. I just got a breast reduction 4 weeks ago and it was honestly the best thing I've done. I feel so much weight has been lifted off of me both physically and emotionally. I feel like I have the body that I was always meant to. I've looked forward to your videos because you're a fit woman like me with large breasts that aren't always proportional to our bodies. I appreciate all of your previous bra videos and honestly feel excited that you are considering a breast reduction! Many people don't understand the struggle of larger breasts. The conversation about breastfeeding is always interesting because with nature, there's always that 50/50 chance that you may not even be able to breastfeed with or without a procedure. I'm of the mindset to do what makes you feel happy in the present because too many of our decision are based on "what ifs" in the future. Lastly, the way procedures are done now are much more advanced than they were several years ago...These babies aren't going anywhere 😂 good luck to you! hope you get your clarity soon and congratulations on your home! Sorry, one last thing. If you have a breast reduction before children and things change, who says you can't get another one? 🙌

Congratulations on your house 🏠 and ur hubs it's great to hear from u we miss u ! Do t feal the pressure I totally understand I'm 26 and I feal the pressure but just live your life 💯 how you want ! U got this

Love, you have so much in common with me. It's so nice to see someone that has the same feelings and thoughts about those testy topics. I wish you nothing but happiness in your new home no matter what that looks like! Now I have go to tar-je to get those fine hair products, cuz your girl has fine wavy hair and I need to try them too. Lol. XOXO

You go girl!! Woohoo 🎉 congrats to you and your husband. I think you will know when you are ready to have kids. I did. I think the saying goes more toward where you are in life rather than the internal feeling of being ready to become a mom. Enjoy your time as an independent because after children you will forever carry the worry and love for your dependents. The pressures and opinions only rev up after becoming a mom also which is challenging so enjoy your now. Sending love 💕 Also, what eyeliner do you use? It looks amazing and easy to apply.

Congratulations on the new house! Also knowing when or if you're ready to have a baby is definitely a very stressful decision! I'm definitely glad I have my children but it will definitely change the dynamic between husband and wife as well since you know you have this new precious life to raise. And as for breastfeeding, I didn't my kids wouldn't so they were both formula fed and as healthy as can be. 💕

So very happy for you India! Congrats on the house. I do understand how emotional you are, its a dream being realized and you are thankful for such a blessing in your life, so cry away! Please try and not let others no matter how well meaning push you into motherhood, you have time. You and your husband will know when to start your family so draw support from one another when the subject comes up to early for you two. Have a special look, or mannerism you two agree on that says “I got you babe” its just so important you two pick the time. Breast reduction: Please research it thoroughly including breast feeding that it might change. Talk to other young and older women that have gone through the procedure over the last 10 years and hear what they liked and didn’t like or regretted. Just want you to be 100% sure and comfortable with your decision

I had always pictured myself married by 25 and kids a few years after that. I’m in my ‘60’s (cringe) and never did get married. My children are the rescue fur babies in my life. I choose to believe that God knew what was best for me and I do my best to enjoy the life I have and be grateful for what I have. Do what God puts in your heart and when He puts it there. Good luck to you both!

Congratulations!! I know it must be stressful and very overwhelming but I really hope it gets better for you soon! Change can be hard. And only have kids when you feel ready for it. I feel the pressure too sometimes but I just try to follow God and his plan 😊

So happy for you and your new home! I had a breast reduction after I had my children. For me, it was a great decision. I agree with other comments that having children should be when you and your husband are ready. Your mom is still young! The older I get, the more I know how true the statement is that says age is just a number! Best wishes! Do more hair videos with the thin hair products once you find all of your equipment! Hugs!

also if you're on Reddit, the sub r/Reduction is a really good resource for examples of before/afters of breast reductions and good surgeons. I'm personally planning on getting one before kids. depending on the kind you get, you'll still be able to breastfeed. do what makes you happy girl.

India I am so happy for you. You were the very first youtube channel I ever followed starting because of your hair videos and now just because I just adore you.We have so much in common. I am also the girl with the poofy hair, not in the wavy girl club, yet not in the curly care club. We have our own club. My mom also had me late in life (44),, I am also large chested (34G). Thank you for turning me on to Wacoal bras. I went to Soma forever and their bras were just not made with the same quality as Wacoal. Also thinking about a reduction because of back issues and also a fan of Eva 10 in 1. It reminds me so much of The Wizard by Amika but so much more affordable. Have kids when your ready. Don't let anyone pressure you. I am much older than you (52) and would adopt you if I could. Maybe you could be my niece lol. But the main I wanted to say, you ARE WORTHY!

blessings all n take care n stay safe

Enjoy the time with your husband and new home. Don’t let people guilt you. Have a baby when you feel ready. It’s your life your body your time.💜

India! Congrats on your new house it’s beautiful! As a long time follower and a lactation consultant. Real talk -sister to sister, wait on the reduction til after kids. I work with many mamas that wish they would have waited, it breaks my heart for them not to have the opportunity. Of course do what you think will make you happy! It’s still possible to breastfeed with a reduction but you may not reach full milk supply. The longer it’s been since reduction (in years) the higher chance that you may be able to breastfeed. Still a 50/50 chance you may or may not. Trust me the pressure I’ve seen moms go through is ridiculous and experiencing myself. I am a huge proponent of doing whatever feeding method is going to work for you, even if it’s formula. I’m so thankful for formula. Happy healthy mom is better that a miserable struggling one. Anyways, enjoy your new home and being you! ❤

Hi India! First of all, congratulations on your new beautiful home! Truly so happy for such a well deserving woman! I wanted you to know that for the longest time I have felt EXACTLY the same as you when it comes to kids. My husband and I were dating for 11 years before we got married and as soon as I got married I felt the pressure. We’ve been married for 6 years and I haven’t felt ready to have children nor did I think I wanted children anymore, but let me tell you…. GOD truly decides for you because that’s what happened to us! I found out I was pregnant over a month ago. And although at first I was filled with a lot of mixed emotions, I truly believe that God has given me this gift for a reason. Take your time and enjoy married life with just the 2 of you. And one day I am SURE when the time is right, you will be a great mom. All my love ❤

I’m 28 and my mom is 61 as well! My babe is going to be 1 soon and this is my moms first grand baby. I think as long as your moms healthy, there’s no rush to give her a grand baby before a certain time!

Congrats on the house! I know kind of how you feel; I just turned 30 this past November and I somehow feel judged because I’m 30, I’m single (never been in a relationship), and it’s been in the past 5-6 months that I have actually felt like a real adult. I’m also being pressured to have kids when 1) I haven’t found the right person, 2) I’m not financially stable yet and 3) I don’t feel ready to be a mom (I’m perfectly comfortable with being an Aunt for now but it wasn’t until my niece Chloe was born that I started to become more comfortable with being an Aunt).

Home sweet home!

Had breast reduction (25 yrs ago)it was the best decision ever!My Doctor had specifically asked me "are you done with kids?If not it'll be a waste of your money because the result will change maybe even drastically post baby".I was done with childbaring so I went ahead and did it, tell you what those puppies are still up there!😉Sooo if you have the patience wait it out, it'll be worth it🥰

Congrats on the house, it’s beautiful! As for littles, we weren’t sure we wanted kids. We were intentional about listening to Gods voice only on this topic, and His timing (as always) was perfection! As for the hair primer…did you/would you use this with a separate curl cream? I’m always in search of that Goldilocks of fine hair pre-stylers!

You have helped me with my bra journey. I purchased a bra you recommended and it changed my look completely. However, I totally feel you on the reduction. I am a 34G. I ve wanted a reduction for years but I keep putting it off because I got the same advice about having kids. I just had a baby last year and I think it's time. I asked the dr if they will insure it. The only way they will is if I had back pain. Which uh yes I do! I am so ready. Can't wait. But I understand the whole idea about breast feeding thing. I think it could potentially be life changing. Keep us posted what you decide.

Telogen Effluvium - excessive hair shedding. I had it after I had covid, and I totally feel you on wanting to cry every time you wash you hair. I didn't take any selfies for the longest time. If you don't feel ready for kids then you're not ready. Though out my relationship with my husband we have had pregnancy scares and that "Oh crap" moment is scary! And I thought how will I know when I am ready? I feel like when I was late by 9 days and cried when the test was negative - that's when I knew I was ready.

Congratulations on your new home, it's so beautiful! I would say to take as much time you want to enjoy you and your husband's alone time and freedom before having kids. Kids are such a blessing and will add so much goodness into your life but you should definitely do it when you are ready. So happy you are back and can't wait to see your content this year! Btw where is your top from?

It's funny because I got married around the same time as you, and I feel like at first people said "take your time don't rush into having kids!" But now it's like... Apparently been enough time to where people question it. So I've been comparing myself to my parents who started young, my similarly aged friends who already have kids, and wondering if I should start trying earlier because I may run into complications. I finally had to sit down and be honest with myself and God about my feelings, that pressure, etc. And I felt like He spoke the word "wait". And at that moment I stopped comparing, feeling worried, that pressure lifted. So, I wish the same for you! That you find peace with where you're at and knowing that your life is beautiful and each season is full of love, life, purpose. Enjoy them for what they are. 🖤 P. S. I also love how supportive the girlies in this community are. That's so special, India! You fostered the environment for that love to thrive. 🥹

I obvi don't know your cup size but if back pain is the sole reason you're considering a breast reduction, please know that other options might work too! Through strengthening my back and working on my posture with a specialized coach, my back has improved SO MUCH, and I have a G cup! Not trying to talk you out of it, but just wanted to share that you might be able to (partly) fix your issue without having to opt for surgery.

I second this a posture doctor can be life changing! I didn’t know it was a thing until my pcp referred me to one for my back pain. I’ve been seeing him for a full year now and have never felt better.

Yes! I suggest getting a monthly or twice monthly massage before going for the surgery, girl! Surgery is so extreme!

Yes, this!!!! Physiotherapy helps so much, that would be worth a try first!

Don’t let people pressure you into starting something your aren’t ready for. This is your life and your choice. I had a family member try to pressure me into having kids but I’m like you cousin and didn’t want them. My husband and I have been married 32 years and we believe not having children is a blessing. It was best for us and the stuff we went through. It is a personal decision when and if you have kids. Wishing you well in your new house and adulting (deciding when to introduce kids into your family).

It’s true! You’ll never feel ready. Once you have your first tho.. then you will start to get that feeling a LOT. You will absolutely get baby fever. But it takes 9 months to have one so you will be plenty ready once you make that jump 😄 plus it’s exciting. Pull that goalie! Have a good time, you don’t need to try hard. & you never know when God will bless you with a baby. It might take awhile, it might be your first time. Either way after you get that positive you will be head over heels ❤️

Girl I feel you! So happy you are going through the same. I’m 28 and my bf and I have been living together for a while now and I always gets asked.. I also don’t feel ready at all, I love our live and that we can do whatever we want. A baby changes your life 360 and I’m just not ready. It also makes me think will I ever be?? I’m getting older..

Girl, you have easyly 10 years to get pregnant and even more! 35 years mark is a buls***t lie, women had always had kids into their late 30 early 40! It's the business of frosting our eggs that started to spread this lie of 35. Ask around about your grandparents and their friends. As for being "old" parent... It all depends on how do you feel. Because you can have a kid at 40 and live to be 90 and independent, you can have a kid at 19 and die at 50. You can't predict life... So have kid when you feel like it, as a 28yo you should have ZERO pressure from time girl! Lots of love (I'm 34 and maybe I'll have kids or not, atm I'm having too much health problems, but I still have time) ❤️

What blush did you apply?? Thanks for the fine hair help!! 😘

Never let others pressure you. It all when you are ready.

My understanding with the main reason people wait for breast reductions until after kids is because the glands required for milk production and lactation get cut so you are no longer able to breastfeed after a reduction. This may have improved with new surgical techniques and obviously ask your surgeon if you decide on surgery but that’s what I have heard as to why people often choose to wait! Thank you for being so open and honest!! You’re videos are encouraging to so many of us!! 😍🥰

Love the kitchen!! That pantry is to die for! I've been contemplating a breast reduction for years- I'm a 32F. I brought it up to my doctor and she recommended I wait until after I have kids. My friend got one done in high school and her breasts grew back a good amount after having her baby. Then sister had large breasts pre-kids but after breastfeeding they shrunk down. A part of me wants to get it done and enjoy life with smaller boobs before having kids but I don't want to have to go through the surgery twice!

I love that the "coffee station" is in the pantry!!!

I was a young mom and have six grands now. I would not say that is the way everybody needs to do it. There is no number, no age. You will have babies in your time. And they will be beautiful!!!

I had my reduction right before having my son… I should have waited!!! Wait!!! ❤
