    We Changed Everything. Welcome to Season 8.

    Season 8 is here—and Pretty Basic is entering a new era. Things might look a little different around here 👀 During our break, we worked hard to build a new, improved, and more grown PB set—and in this episode, we’re spilling all the behind-the-scenes tea on how it came together. We’re also catching up on life lately (it’s been a loooonggg time). From what Alisha’s investing in this year (and no, not just the new set 😉) to Remi’s life updates—plus all the same PB banter you know and love. As always, this space is about being human, staying informed, and showing up for each other. We’re also sharing human rights + ICE resources below for anyone who needs them.

    New Year, New Chapters

    It’s our New Year’s Eve episode and we’re closing out the year by reflecting on what was — and getting excited for what’s next as we head into 2026. We’re talking words of the year, whether we actually kept our New Year’s resolutions, how this year compares to the past few, and why the animal of the year feels a little too spot on 👀. Plus, a life update from the past month, real talk on imposter syndrome, growth, trusting yourself — and yes, we finally address whether Alisha is officially Remi’s interior designer. Whether you’re setting intentions, closing out a chaotic year, or just need some cozy NYE energy, this episode is all about reflecting, resetting, and stepping into what’s next together 🥂💫 Happy New Year, besties 🤍 Sponsors: GOOGLE SHOPPING: Google Shopping: #sponsored See how clothes from your favorite brands look on you before you buy by visiting g.co/shop/tryon COTTON: Learn more at TheFabricOfOurLives.com CASAMIGOS: Sign up for Casamigos email updates to join the House of Friends, get hosting inspiration, and enjoy $5 off your first Casamigos order on TheBar.com.

    Things We Find Chic & The Vlogmas Tea Everyone’s Asking About

    Ho, ho, ho 🎄✨ it’s a Pretty Basic Christmas episode, and we’re getting cozy, reflective, and just a wee unhinged. Alisha talks about getting older, the new health routines she’s been leaning into—from acupuncture to Chinese teas—and what’s actually been working for her lately. Then it’s time for a full holiday favorites rundown: the cameras and beauty products we loved this year, what TikTok made us buy that was actually worth the hype, our favorite finds under $10, and the one item we’d repurchase instantly if we somehow lost it tomorrow. We also get into the pieces of clothing we reach for over and over again, our favorite shows, movies, books, TikTokers, and YouTubers of the year—and of course, an iconic story about a kid who knew exactly what she wanted and memorized her parents’ credit card number to get it.  Light a candle, grab a glass of hot cocoa, and hang with us as we wrap up the holiday season!  Sponsors: GOOGLE SHOPPING: Google Shopping: #sponsored See how clothes from your favorite brands look on you before you buy by visiting g.co/shop/tryon SKIMS: Shop our favorite pajamas at SKIMS.com and if you’re looking for the perfect gifts for everyone on your list - the SKIMS Holiday Shop is now open at SKIMS.com.

    Okay, Let’s Talk About Zalisha...

    This week on Pretty Basic, we’re catching you up on everything—because life lately has been A LOT and we are officially in the thick of Vlogmas. Alisha opens up about some personal health updates, including hormone levels, fertility and recent heart and gut findings, and how it’s all been impacting her day-to-day. She also shares what her family has been going through as her dad deals with ongoing pain and hearing loss—and why Christmas is going to look a little different this year. We also address the Zalisha rumors head-on (yes, that), talk about Zane spending the holidays with Alisha, and dive into some very Vlogmas-coded moments—including Zara Larsson, a surprising Smosh run-in, and of course… the chaos that is H-Mart gate. It’s a cozy, honest catch-up episode filled with real life—physically, emotionally, and everything in between—sprinkled with behind-the-scenes stories and a little holiday chaos.

    This Was… Not What We Expected

    We’re fresh out of the theater and giving our honest thoughts on Wicked Part 2 — the moments we loved, the moments we loathed, and everything in between (because you know we’re not holding back). We’re also spilling on the iconic — and super rare — present we got from the Wicked team that quite literally made us gasp. Plus, Remi shares her full-circle fangirl-turned-friendship moment that proves magic is very real. Grab your broomstick (or your latte) and buckle up — it’s a wickedly good episode. ✨ Sponsors: FACEBOOK: Let's reconnect this holiday season with Facebook.  SKIMS: Shop our favorite pajamas at SKIMS.com and if you’re looking for the perfect gifts for everyone on your list - the SKIMS Holiday Shop is now open at SKIMS.com.

    The Honeymoon Surprise & Hormones

    We are BACK with Cal for Part 2 of the honeymoon extravaganza — and this week, Remi and Cal take us through their Korean adventures: from Remi fully fangirling over a pop star on their flight to tracking down the legendary street-market vendor Cal discovered years ago on YouTube. Cal shares his absolute dream day at a Korean head spa, finally reveals his color analysis results, and dives into the newest trend: body analysis. We get into Korean mall culture, why Baskin Robbins is elite in Seoul and all the Korean-owned brands they fell in love with. Then Remi and Cal hop on a bullet train to Pocheon, where they ultimately discover… their new favorite Korean city?! Plus: why Remi’s taking progesterone, Alisha calling in from Tokyo with her own travel tea, and of course — their must-try Korean BBQ spot.

    The Honeymoon Fight & What Really Happened in Kyoto

    Guess who’s BACK and more unhinged than ever? We are finally reunited — Remi fresh off her honeymoon and Alisha fresh off the brand trip she was not invited to… so she just crashed it instead. Cal joins the chaos to help recap everything that’s gone down since we were last together, starting with Remi’s honeymoon in Hawaii including where slowing down was harder than expected, We’re talking: unexpected emergencies, the now-legendary pool boy moment, a dramatic room swap, and a good-luck sign that may or may not hint to the future.  Meanwhile, Alisha shares the chaotic saga of her self-appointed “brand trip”: starting with a Bentley, to her adventures in Kyoto, wild fog machines, the noodle incident, and her pretty epic inner monologue that kepts us all entertained. . She also opens up about mid-flight scare — and why she’s decided this is officially someone else’s problem.
