Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

This week on Pretty Basic, it's one of those episodes where we somehow cover everything and absolutely nothing at the same time. 💖 Alisha's been hosting her family from Japan, Remi gets absolutely humbled by a six-year-old (like... fully outplayed), and we're officially entering the era of realizing our TV crushes are now... too young for us. Cool! Love that!
We're also chatting celebrity sightings, why auntie life is low-key the best life, and all the random tangents that somehow become our favorite conversations.
Grab your emotional support drink, a little treat, and come catch up with your internet besties. 🫶✨

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re catching up on everything from identity crises over shoe sizes and clothing labels to our latest obsession: book-to-screen adaptations. From hockey romance heartthrobs (Off Campus fans unite) to fantasy worlds that completely consume your life, we’re diving into the stories currently taking over our group chat.
Then, we put our friendships (and maybe ourselves) under the microscope with a game of "Would You Be Offended?" The answers reveal way more about us than expected as we unpack friendship etiquette, social media expectations, petty grievances, and the little things that can quietly get under our skin.
It's a chaotic mix of book talk, hot takes and friendship debates — dare we say, Pretty Basic at its finest. 💕✨
