Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

This week on Pretty Basic, Remi is fresh off the final stop of her cookbook tour and recaps the whirlwind experience—from fans waiting out in a literal downpour to surreal full-circle moments. Alisha joins her on the NYC leg of the tour, living her best plus-one life while sharing solo adventures around the city. Remi also shares some exclusive behind-the-scenes moments from the tour. Back in LA, Alisha celebrates her birthday… which somehow includes meatballs, snakes, and death—because of course it does.

It's official... Remi is a published author! She takes us behind the scenes of her brand new cookbook—from years of recipe testing and creative burnout to building confidence in her true art form: cooking. We dive into the journey of turning passion into a project, plus the pressure (and payoff) of putting something so personal out into the world.
We also get real about creativity, social media burnout, and what it actually takes to stay inspired as a content creator. From influencer “bootcamps” to breaking out of your comfort zone. 💛

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re catching up on everything—from Alisha’s dating life to current food obsessions and what it really means to be on your own timeline.
Alisha opens up about a major personal shift: she’s officially stepping back into the dating world. After a breakthrough therapy session, she gets real about what’s been holding her back, what she’s truly looking for in a partner, and why getting clear on her non-negotiables changed everything. And yes… she’s finally putting herself out there again.
Meanwhile, Remi reflects on family planning and why there’s no “right” timeline —because whether you’re single, dating, or married, everyone’s just figuring it out as they go. 💛

Hey pretty babes! It’s Wednesday, which means we’re back with a brand new episode
This week, Alisha opens up about some major health updates and the results of recent tests—including what she learned about dementia and ADHD genes. She shares what it all means for her life, the lifestyle changes she’s already made, and the surprising ways those shifts are already making a difference.
We also get into Remi’s moving updates, plus Alisha stepping into her Maid of Honor duties for her sister Ashley’s summer wedding (!!). Remi breaks down what actually matters when it comes to wedding planning—where to splurge (makeup artists 👀) and what you can let go of without a second thought.
And a heartwarming update that might make you cry: Alisha’s dad got new hearing aids, and being able to hear Mama Chris clearly again has truly changed his day-to-day life.
