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. 💛
