Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

This week, we're giving you the ultimate Coachella recap — from private jets to emotional spirals and everything in between. Remi fully stepped into her Coachella fairy era, Alisha had a full-on meltdown, and let’s just say… a lot went down in that hot tub. We’re breaking down every detail of the weekend — from getting styled to private jets, private chefs and our surreal stay at the Guess Jeans compound (a literal dream). We’re talking pinch-me moments, chaotic nights, and super exclusive after parties with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. Plus, Alisha may or may not have gotten a little too bold (and a little too drunk) sneaking into Charli XCX’s private bathroom... oops. Remi also shares a moment with her PCOS specialist that got us thinking — should she come on the pod? And of course, your friendly reminder: ladies, go get your yearly checkups (yes, that means pap smears + breast exams) and take care of yourselves. Did this year’s Coachella live up to the hype? You’ll have to listen to find out.

This week on Pretty Basic, we're giving you a long-awaited Asia recap. From 18-step hair treatments and heavenly head massages to traveling with our moms and embracing the beauty in aging, we’re getting real about the deep convos and tender moments that shaped our trip (cue all the chaos and cuteness). Remi opens up about a healing moment with her mom and we dive into what it really means to understand our parents as people, not just parents (wild concept, right?).  We’re also spilling on insane skincare, Max in Korea, the exact moment Alisha gave Remi the “be f-ing for real” look, and yes… the dirty pajama breaking point. Oh, and did we mention the iconic bagel run (literally😉)? It’s girlie, it’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and of course, it’s basic—we’re so glad you’re here! 🩵 Sponsors: Skims: Checkout the SKIMS Ultimate Bra Collection and more at https://www.skims.com/prettybasic #skimspartnerHappy Thursday: Visit DrinkHappyThursday.com/PRETTYBASIC CELEBRATE RESPONSIBLY®. 21+ CONTAINS ALCOHOL. YSL BEAUTY: Shop all 9 dreamy shades of YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss now at Sephora.Taylor Farms: Grab a Taylor Farms chopped salad kit.

We’re BACK from our much-needed break and have so much to catch up on!  On this week’s episode, Remi takes us through her very affirming psychic reading and how she almost didn’t ask Alisha to be her maid of honor (drama, we know). Alisha opens up about her ADHD struggles and Onyx Storm excitement, while we demand a January do-over. We’re also pulling back the curtain on how creators actually make their money and diving into the wild trend of guys giving themselves vasectomies (because… why?!) And of course, we’re asking the real questions—should Remi’s bachelorette theme be Brides & Botox?! Oh, and don’t worry, we’re also making space for labia puffs in 2025. Buckle up, it’s a good one!
