This week on Pretty Basic, Alisha is joined by a very special guest—her newly engaged sister, Ashley! We’re spilling all the behind-the-scenes moments from Ashley’s dream proposal, including how Alisha played a hand in delaying it altogether. From signs from the universe (hello, ladybug!) to the chaotic way Alisha and her manager got Ashley to the big moment, nothing is off-limits. We also dive into the emotional spirals of the “waiting season,” Ashley’s big crash-out moment, and all the little details that made the engagement unforgettable.

Our Offensive Hot Takes!
On this week’s episode, we’re packing our bags and heading straight into bachelorette chaos, bridal showers, and all things wedding. Remi’s getting all mushy over Cal’s sweetest moments, while Alisha’s out here threatening to spill wine on people. From wild bachelorette ideas to the age-old debate: strippers, yes or no? Plus, we play a little “hot takes” game — girlhood, haters, lazy guys, and why male-dominated podcasts give us the ick. God forbid a girl wants to have fun!!OOTDs: Alisha OOTD: White Tank: https://bit.ly/4jUIeuqBomber Jacket (similar): https://bit.ly/4cPfYa8Burgundy Skort: https://bit.ly/4lN4bgF Remi OOTD: Full Outfit Links: https://liketk.it/5cqJZSponsors: Rocket Money: Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with RocketMoney.

Our Coachella Recap + What Really Happens At the Exclusive After Parties
This week, we're giving you the ultimate Coachella recap — from private jets to emotional spirals and everything in between. Remi fully stepped into her Coachella fairy era, Alisha had a full-on meltdown, and let’s just say… a lot went down in that hot tub. We’re breaking down every detail of the weekend — from getting styled to private jets, private chefs and our surreal stay at the Guess Jeans compound (a literal dream).We’re talking pinch-me moments, chaotic nights, and super exclusive after parties with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. Plus, Alisha may or may not have gotten a little too bold (and a little too drunk) sneaking into Charli XCX’s private bathroom... oops. Remi also shares a moment with her PCOS specialist that got us thinking — should she come on the pod? And of course, your friendly reminder: ladies, go get your yearly checkups (yes, that means pap smears + breast exams) and take care of yourselves. Did this year’s Coachella live up to the hype?

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.
