Dear Media

Welcome to Pretty Basic, a weekly podcast hosted by digital creators and best friends, Alisha Marie and Remi Parsons. From TMI conversations about dating to big sister chats on how to feel more confident to the dark reality of influencing; each week you'll be left wanting more "content, baby, content." New episodes every Wednesday!

Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

No matter what anyone says, we’re entering FALL, simply because September has an apple next to it. 🍎 AND Romy and Losh are back… and they won’t ever be stopped. However, we’re here to confirm that, in fact, nothing good happens after 2AM.

Remi recaps how she ended up in a random room and why things are a little fuzzy. We chat about stalkers, progesterone, Alisha’s current obsession, and her thoughts on Practical Magic 2. 

We love entering cozy season with you! 🍂

The Truth About Parasocial Relationships No One Says Out Loud

Friendship breakups, cheating scandals, and a LOT of “girl… WHAT?” 😳

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re unpacking all the Megan Plays drama, a pet story none of us saw coming, and what happens when you grow apart from your friends. After all, maybe we should start treating friendships like we do relationships.

Plus, Remi shares the new show she’s watching (and OBSESSED with)… and honestly, you should probably just watch it too.

Airing Out Our Friendship Breakups Online

We’re in our take care of ourselves season… allegedly. This week on Pretty Basic, we’re talking all things health, hormones, and what it actually looks like to prioritize yourself.

Alisha opens up about navigating her PMDD diagnosis, learning to stop minimizing her own symptoms, and why sometimes you have to trust your gut when something just doesn’t feel right. We’re talking hormones, mental health, period tracking, the TikTok-to-doctor pipeline, and the importance of advocating for yourself when it comes to your health. Plus, Remi gets candid about getting back into therapy, prioritizing her physical and mental health, and the steps she’s taking to work through things before starting a family.

Basically, it’s learning about hormones, therapy, motherhood, unsolicited TikTok medical advice, and two women realizing that taking care of yourself is actually… kind of important? Who knew?

content warning: as this episode discusses depression, mental health, PMDD, and difficult thoughts. Please take care while listening.

Alisha Was Just Diagnosed with PMDD...Here's What Happened

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re talking about Remi's career change, how she broke someone’s Tesla, and peak quintessential girlhood— because apparently all it takes is friends, lychee martinis and a bag obsession. Plus, we’re getting into the discourse surrounding why the internet seems determined to critique women (on absolutely everything!). And of course, we have to talk about that one girl who swooped in, killed and stole her man. Like whattt?! 👀

Addressing The Weirdos On The Internet

We’re back at home, baby! This week on Pretty Basic, we’re getting back to the roots of the pod and catching up on everything we missed while living our separate lives. Alisha recaps her absolutely insane trip to Chicago—including a nightmare travel day, flood warnings, why her bill totaled $1,400 (!!!) and how she somehow ended up in a DJ’s green room. Plus, we’re talking Pop Culture! Basically, it’s giving old Pretty Basic… with slightly better production value.

Alisha’s Chicago Bender + Dishonest Beauty Brands

This week, we're getting very real. We open up about why Pretty Basic has felt different lately, the honest conversations we've been having behind the scenes, and why we almost thought it might be the end of the podcast as we know it. (Don't panic—we're evolving, not disappearing.)

Then we catch you up on everything from our first-ever at-home recording setup to a dramatic breakup-fueled night out and a husband who literally saluted Remi into battle. We also unpack Alisha's most unhinged dream yet... yes, you heard that right... involving Disneyland (of course), a drag queen (we love), Rihanna (iconic), and way too many turkey legs (because why not?).

Basically... we're bringing Pretty Basic back to its roots—and taking you along!
