This week we take a trip down memory lane and look back at the inception of @letstalkbasic
We discussed where we were when this idea was born, what steps we took to keep each other accountable, and reminisced about all of our favorite moments during this process.
Somewhere in our conversation we realize that we come across many crises in our lives… is this just us? Or do you have monthly breakdowns too?
Thank you so much for tuning in weekly!

This week we are joined by a special guest and dear friend that we'll call "Basic Mom", to talk about what it's really like to be a mom! Needless to say we had many questions for her and luckily for us she leaves nothing off the table and tells us all the unfiltered truths about getting pregnant, mom-guilt, terrible twos and a lot that we have zero clue about. This basic mom gives us an inside look into how much they go through and remind us why moms are so important in our lives. Hope you enjoy this episode and wishing all the moms and mother-figures a very Happy Mother's Day!

Like many celebrations this year, Mother’s Day will also look a little different. In times like these we all need to be a little creative, go the extra mile to make our mamas feel loved!
So this week, we go through a list of 10 ideas on how to celebrate our moms virtually! As we go through this list vetted by Queen Oprah, we quickly realized Mother’s Day is not “one size fits all”! Some of these ideas may work for your mom (Care package), and others may not (Memory Jar). At the end of the day remember that it’s the thought and effort that matters, and with moms - a little really does go a long way!
We hope you can draw some ideas from our episode this week. We can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeves for your mom!

It’s been a month since we’ve been living the quarantine life and just like the rest of the world, we have experienced our fair share of highs & lows. From getting excited about starting a routine for our new normal, to just being fed up with the entire situation… We won’t be sugar-coating it for you this week… (we are feeling a bit down)
Join us as we compare what it’s like to hit the one month milestone for work, relationship and moving into a new home! – Let us know which one you think is the most exciting!

Warning: Episode contains spoilers!
This quarantine has sucked us into the “Joe Exotic” phenomenon. We really did not want to click on this Netflix series, but with not much to do, and constantly being bombarded with memes of Joe and Carol on IG, we finally caved.
This week we do a deep dive of why we think this show is soo popular, who we think is the real “villain”, and which parts we think were the most outrageous in this documentary.
Whether you are fascinated with the series, or still having second doubts about binge-ing this odd show, join us and find out where we think Carol’s husband really is!

Are you in quarantine with your best friend?
This week we chat about how grateful we are to have our BF/husband to rely on during this time of isolation. We discuss how being isolated at home and spending 24/7 together really does accelerate a relationship and wonder how many couples will survive this “challenge” ... this scenario reminds us of Bachelor In Paradise
One of us reveals an extremely awkward moment during a conference call this week... trust me this one tops it all!

This week we chat about the small wins and moments of joy that we have encountered during the second week of our “new normal”
Find out what we are doing to cope with boredom, stress and a whole lot of free time. One of us discovered boxed wine X2… while the other established a new found liking for cutting vegetables (listen to find out more)
We hope you are all staying safe and healthy! Just remember to cherish this extra time with your family, pets, couch and Netflix. Because believe it or not the day will come when we all have to put pants on again.
