I Practiced Making Out On My Teddy Bear

How did you learn how to kiss? From your siblings? Magazines? Stuffed animals? We all figured it out at some point, or did we? We’re joined by Chris because he mistakenly told us that he likes to kiss with his EYES OPEN!? Yeah, we’re weirded out too.

In What’s the 411? we heard rumors that Lizzo may be making a swimwear line! Swimsuit shopping is a pain in the butt – so we’re hoping she comes out with something for all body types. We’re sharing how we deal with the struggles of shopping as a woman from dressing room breakdowns to being bothered by the size on the tag.

University of Iowa Grad Erica Cole Strikes a $100K Shark Tank Deal

Erica Cole is a University of Iowa graduate and now founder AND CEO of the adaptable clothing line, No Limbits! She started off altering her own garments to fit over her prosthetic and it has snowballed into her pitching the company on Shark Tank! We chat with her about the glamorous and not-so glamorous parts of being an entrepreneur, how her business has also turned her to an advocate, and of course, does she still talk to Mark Cuban and Emma Grede?

There’s a Creeper in the JCPenney Parking Lot

Everybody needs some alone time here and there, and boy are we passionate about our “me time.” We’re talking about the ways we like to kick back by ourselves to relax, even if that means sitting in a parking lot alone with a 12-piece nugget meal…

In What’s the 411? we’re talking about the glowing queen, RIHANNA! She’s been openly flaunting her pregnancy bod and has made it clear it doesn’t bother her that she and A$AP Rocky aren’t married yet. We’re getting firsthand experience with having a child before marriage with our girl, Lambeau!

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month – a tough topic to tackle, but also so important to talk about. We had the opportunity to talk to Jessica Clayton, a very experienced SANE nurse, to get the facts and a lot of great resources.

Destiny Likes Her Men Hairy

It’s not uncommon to slide into the DMs, a lot of the time it’s flattering! But, Destiny got a nasty Instagram message that we’re breaking down so you know exactly what NOT to say to grab a girl’s attention…

In What’s the 411? we heard Channing Tatum won’t be waxing for the upcoming Magic Mike movie. Is that gonna stop us from going to see it? Definitely not Destiny! We’re talking about the little things we think are attractive on guys.

Everybody’s got their fears – heights, bugs, snakes – but what about those weird fears that not everybody has? We confess the strange things that scare us and even pull in some coworkers to find theirs!

Moms Don’t Want Us Talking About This…

Do opposites attract or do birds of a feather flock together? If you haven’t caught on, Destiny and Taylor are DEFINITELY opposites, but which statement holds true in our relationships?

In What’s the 411? we’re talking about the new movie on Disney+, Turning Red, which tackles the topic of girls going through puberty. Is it too much or is it a movie we wish we had when we were younger? Let’s hash it out!

Grab your pen and paper, class is in session! Destiny came to Taylor very confused by the younger generation saying “pushin’ P.” Don’t worry, she learned what it meant… and Taylor came ready with more Gen Z lingo to quiz her on!

Alisabeth Von Presley is Representing IOWA on NBC’s American Song Contest!

NBC has announced their next competition show… American Song Contest! Each state is represented by one artist who has to perform their own original song, and GUESS WHAT!? We know Iowa’s contestant because she is a Marion native – Alisabeth Von Presley!

Alisabeth has been a staple performer in the Cedar Rapids area and is now going to being performing on national television, so we had to hear more about how she got here. From making songs when she was just 3 years old, to her body positivity, (and of course her signature pink hair) we’re getting all the tea!

Why 25 Will Be The Worst Year of Your Life

Better late than never, right? We’re a bit of a mess over here. Destiny has been out sick but we are back and better than ever! Taylor’s turning 25 years old today and Destiny had her 27th birthday a month ago, so we’re checkin’ in… Are we where we thought we would be at this age? Is it all downhill from here? Probably.

If You Are Struggling, You Are Not Alone

There is a lot going on in the world right now, and seeing it all play out on social media can be extremely overwhelming. Destiny and Taylor talk about how seeing these posts have been affecting their mindsets, and ways they’ve found to reset.
