Alisha + Remi Unpack Their Mommy Issues

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 #skimspartner Happy Thursday: Visit DrinkHappyThursday.com/PRETTYBASIC CELEBRATE RESPONSIBLY®. 21+ CONTAINS ALCOHOL.

Alisha Was Flown Out to Dubai…

Prepare yourself to hear about the ultimate Dubai experience! Alisha was flown out by Forbes for the World Governments (yes, that) Summit—rubbing elbows with icons like Nara Smith and indulging in the bold flavors of Arabian cuisine. Meanwhile, Remi is deep in Bachelorette Party planning mode (spoiler: jousting may or may not be involved?) and binging a new Netflix show—can you guess which one? Oh, and we are officially heading back to Asia—but this time, we’re not keeping it a secret! Moral of the story? Just say yes… within reason, of course. 😉✨ DJI Osmo 3 Camera: https://bit.ly/43aPZqZ Sponsors: Visit PremierProtein.com and go to “Where to Buy” to find a retailer near you or find where to buy online.

This podcast contains casual girl chats with a lot of ads. within the last year or so the ads have gotten ridiculously long and half the time I can’t tell if they are “advertising”macys or actually chatting about it. 😂 I’ll reach for it if there’s an interesting topic or guest but I can’t say I learn much or get much gossip from it.
Alisha …

Happy for you that your mental health has gotten a lot better. Currently, listening to Aspyn’s episode and feeling so excited to finally have her on PB. But feeling annoyed with the number of times the long awaited guest is interrupted by Alisha. I find it rude the conversation needs to take a turn to be about Alisha and she goes on and on using run-on sentences and uses “like” every other word. 4 stars for Remi, but -1 star for Alisha.
