Dear Media

Welcome to Pretty Basic, a weekly podcast hosted by multi-hyphenate creators and best friends, Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz. 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

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.

Remi’s Book Tour + Alisha’s Unexpected Solo Trip

Plus, we introduce a brand new segment: “We Listen & We Judge,” where we react to your situationships and spill some honest advice.

No Because Why Are You Still With Him…

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. 💛

How To Become a Content Creator + Stay Consistent (Q&A)

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. 💛

Why Alisha Keeps Her Dating Life Private — And Why She’s Ready To Talk!

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.

REMI + CAL MOVED! New House + Future Plans

This week on Pretty Basic… Alisha just got her extensions moved up and is officially feeling like a brand new woman. Naturally, that confidence led to a very Valentine’s Day-coded moment… when she may or may not have reached out to an ex. 👀 Remi reminds her of the golden rule: if he wanted to, he would — and the girls unpack what it really means to let the men come to you.

We’re also doing our first Q&A in the new set, and let’s just say the answers feel … a little more mauve. We talk about everything from feeling dry and romantically empty, to trusting yourself and showing up for yourself even when things feel uncertain.

Plus we get into our current hyperfixations, the biggest mistakes we’ve made in our careers, career change advice, Remi’s secret move 👀, learning how to be okay with not being a workaholic + much more! 

Basically… we’re evolving, we’re reflecting, and we’re doing it all with a fresh set of extensions and a lot of honest conversations. 💜

Alisha’s Most Embarrassing Moment With a Guy…Q&A

This week on Pretty Basic, first things first… we got new monitors, so if we look slightly unwell, cross-eyed, or like we’re staring into your soul — just know it’s just us checking ourselves out. 🎥

We talk alarm-gate, art classes, and why we’re fully convinced the FBI is listening at this point.

Alisha just got back from living her absolute best life at Disney for an entire week as a plus one — and she has THOUGHTS. From big, unexpected surprises… let’s just say this trip was not your average churro run.

Back at home, Alisha shares a health update after finally getting answers about her gut issues. She breaks down her new workout hack you’re about to steal, how to tell the difference between normal vs. abnormal bloating, and why you need to pick and choose your dairy battles — because cheese might actually be one of the most addictive substances on earth.

Alisha’s Influencer Boyfriend Trip?! & Post Wedding Weight Gain Talk

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re time-traveling a whole decade — if you had a flower crown in 2016 and now own beige linen pants… this one’s for you.

We’re chatting about who we were in 2016, who we are now, and what the actual hell happened in between. From full beat glam to clean girl vibes, we’re unpacking the evolution of our lives, our content, and our frontal lobes (which, btw… were absolutely not developed yet in 2016). We’re reminiscing about that iconic YouTube era, the age of BBLs, and how we truly hit our stride. Plus: content then vs. now and why we love a trend (unfortunately).

Remi shares that she got a new work phone and how she’s actually trying to balance work and life right now, while we get real about hormones, stress, and what it’s really doing to our bodies behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Remi is making two HUGE announcements, recapping her birthday weekend, and sharing her elite nighttime hack (Ms. Remi is thriving).

And just a reminder to those questioning it: we’re not creepy, we’re not weird… we’re cool girls.

Alisha’s Most Unhinged Fangirl Moment Yet...

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re covering everything—from the insecurities of being the tall girl to behind-the-scenes Grammys and BU content you didn’t see online.

We’re unpacking what was actually real, why Heath is now Remi’s assistant (???), Alisha’s Bad Bunny hotel moment, and how Dove low-key pimped out Alisha’s room. Alisha also made a new BFF (sorry, Rem), Remi and Cal had a Kendrick Lamar run-in, Remi bled on her keyboard, and yes… fangirling in 2026 isn’t going too well.

We’re also chatting reptiles, groundhog drama, and what Alisha snuck into the Grammys 👀—and of course, wishing Remi the happiest birthday! 🥳💖
