The Future of Our Friendship + Remi Found a Wedding Venue - PRETTY BASIC - EP. 289

[@teacup166]

Petition to call this year "VlogMESS" and it's not daily ad we still loved it just as much because we just want to be part of Alisha's life in the tiniest way possible ❤

[@Ydnew51]

I love this ❤

[@josephinanoelani15]

Yes like just once a week or something even and not like a specific day of posting either likeee!!!

[@madayavalos1201]

Oh my gosh yessss!!!!

[@elinakhisamova3569]

Yess

[@cowboylikejes]

Yesssss vlog mess!!!

[@jsamobu]

Alisha, it feels like you just want to start focusing more on your personal life and your mental health and that is OKAY plus a healthy place to be in. You’ve always focused so heavily on work so this is growth for you ♥️

[@rebeccamcauley4549]

Completely agree ❤ 👏

[@brookerodriguez7958]

I rarely ever leave comments, silent watcher here! (my profile pic is literally from 7th grade and I’m now 25) but holy cow the way I was sobbing with you Alisha. My fellow Aries queen, you work so hard and it never stops. This mini cry session felt so needed because you’re talking through your thoughts and it really sounds like you just want to focus on your mental and personal health & that’s what you constantly advocate for all of us to do! So pleaseeee do what your heart desires and we’ll all be here to support!

[@deborahriveraleal2753]

I love Tuesdays for wild til 9, Wednesday for pretty basic, Thursdays for basically unfiltered. I deal with anxiety and yall help me bring myself down to reality during work even for an hour a few

[@splatterball1]

And dont forget about Unsolicited Advice on Mondays!! as well as zane and heath unfiltered :) This is how I get through my week LOL

[@rebeccamcauley4549]

Amazing ❣️

[@wandam4ximoff]

and mondays for unsolicited advice

[@Awesomlyanna]

@@splatterball1yes thank you for said that

[@hannahand7]

Agreeee

[@Wavesurfer12]

Maybe for vlogmas do once a week and just add each day together so even if you don’t vlog on a day it won’t be as much pressure ! Also getting older more responsibilities it’s understandable that you are growing out of the trend ! Don’t be so hard on yourself 💕

[@jessicasmiles9299]

I just made a comment similar to yours without reading the comments lol I said daily but only for a short time.

[@rebeccamcauley4549]

Brilliant idea ❤🎉

[@1818Pancakes]

I think Alisha is feeling nostalgic and scared about the future bc change is happening around her but maybe she feels stagnant in her own life. I totally relate to that feeling it's such a transitional time.

[@madayavalos1201]

Remi yes I agree if I was getting married I would LOVEEEE to have everyone’s pov from my wedding it would be so special, weddings take forever to plan but go by so incredibly fast and seeing pictures or videos from your loved ones pov is so beautiful and you get to re-live such a special day all over again and see little details that you might’ve missed, so excited for your wedding Remi! 🤍✨

[@kaylenej]

Alisha, put yourself first!! No vlogmas, that's okay!

[@samanthabrooke96]

alisha i felt your emotion when you said change makes you sad, it made me tear up too. not just about this but just changes in life are soo hard especially for those of us with anxiety. stop putting so much pressure on it and just do whatever is fun to you! ❤

[@rebeccamcauley4549]

Absolutely agree ❤🎉

[@ryanhaefs5421]

ALISHA: everyone cares about YOU, not the content ❤

[@biancakunz9208]

THAT PART!!🥰🥰

[@splatterball1]

as a pregnant girlie I was just NOT having a good morning mentally and my emotions were all over the place, but you girls seriously make me feel so so much better. I needed this episode today. Yall are truly the best and I look forward to your episodes every week :)

[@rebeccamcauley4549]

What a beautiful message ✨️

[@Nesmont264]

both of y’all please do what makes you happy in regard to vlogmas!! Also I appreciate yall relating it to breaking other traditions, that really resonated with me.

[@samdesylva6236]

Aww Alisha girly we love you and don’t need vlogmas! Honestly the only part I could tell you I remember about vlogmas each year and my fave part is the intros and the behind the scenes of it.

[@ElizabethJIsHere]

I would literally PAY to vlog Remi’s wedding like you would get 4K cinematic footage and I would pay for my own flight and food

[@jodieono1784]

Alisha, I totally get it. I always break myself down for thinking I should be able to do more but my mental health gets in the way. But at the end of the day, your mental health is priority and it can affect your work as much as you wish it didn’t. It’s so hard not to compare but a reminder to be gentle with yourself is important ❤.

[@sofiacruz3871]

Love this episode! 💖 Hearing about Remi’s wedding planning journey is so exciting-can't wait to see everything come together! Also, the way you both talk about the future of your friendship is so real and relatable. It's clear that your bond has only grown stronger over the years, and it's so refreshing to hear such honest and open conversations. You guys truly give me major friendship goals! ✨ Keep doing what you do, I always look forward to your episodes! 🙌

[@kaylakascht823]

I will say, vlogmas as a youtube viewer can even be exhausting. all of a sudden I now have vlogs being posted everyday that I feel like I have to keep up with, while also balancing my own busy life that just got even busier with trying to do holiday things. while I LOVE watching everyone's vlogs, I definitely do not mind at all when creators cut it back a bit. just like you get burnt out with creating them, I've had years where i've gotten burnt out of watching them and struggle to keep up to the point I give up (and maybe a month or two down the road finally go back to catch up on their vlogs). i think do whatever works best for you, like the 12 days of vlogmas with posting every other day, or even cut it back more to whatever feels comfortable to you

[@gabbin5414]

100% agree. I never watch all vlogmas vlogs even though they’re my favorite because it’s too much!! We have our own lives we have to live as well it’s hard to keep up

[@123paramorefan]

But it’s a choice to watch as a viewer but for a creator they have this pressure to hit all 25 days …as a viewer you don’t have to watch or you can just catch up later so I guess I don’t understand- i just add stuff to my watch later hmmm

[@kyliemuder6602]

Why am I sobbing at Alisha sobbing about vlogmas?? As someone who has watched your vlogs as an escape to my depression feels so grateful that you care so deeply for the community you impact. As Remi said your mental health comes first for you and I know for a fact the real ones are all rooting for you to not feel the way we do sometimes even if it means we don’t get that escape ourselves. Love you, Alisha. ❤ truly a beautiful soul inside and out.

[@bc4049]

Alisha, you can’t be everything to everyone and nothing to yourself ❤️ awwww it’s ok to cry

[@eksswim2002]

alisha- as someone with adhd it is extremely hard to even get my school work done, i can’t imagine what it is like to have millions of people watching you and feeling that pressure to succeed, no matter if that is from the world or just your own thoughts. i have been a fan for a decade now, and i think i can speak for everyone when i say that never once have either of you disappointed me!! give yourself some grace, you are successful, kind, hardworking and deserving of a break. don’t feel pressured to do anything that overwhelms you, we will back you no matter what! ❤

[@biancakunz9208]

alisha it’s okay to not do vlogmas! we’re so greatful we got to be apart of you doing it for TEN YEARS!! do what u gotta do girl we will support you ❤❤

[@francesmac]

Alisha, zero pressure to do vlogmas as BIG as you have, you can keep it lowkey - every other day or when something festive is happening for you you film or do short form (i'm a youtube stan so I'd vote youtube everyday)... We just want to see you at the holidays like our friend we've known for years. And we don't want you stressed. IDEAS BELOW: An idea too for reimagining Vlogmas this year could be like with your room flips with how Ash has moved, like how do you want to decorate the tree - go get ornaments that spark joy for you, a Rosie Christmas sweater haul - you are such a fashion icon girly like putting together holiday looks with whats in your closet. ANYTHING I WOULD WATCH. Love you too Remi

[@megsull2341]

Just post old vlogmas videos from years past! You have 250 videos to pick from! I honestly would love an Alisha vlogmas flashback

[@Eadklo]

You should take each day of your Vlogmas videos and make them into 1 compilation video. Ex: Vlogmas Day 1 over 10 years, Vlogmas Day 2 over 10 years. I love you no matter what you do 💕

[@hannahand7]

As much as I love watching Alisha's volgmas, I would rather not get as much content if it means her mental health is better ❤️❤️

[@joss4949]

literally agree that seeing diff povs of vlogs are the best! alisha girl!!! pls! plus i love both contents even tho theyre diff

[@jeddykehler]

Alisha maybe you could hire a graphic designer to make a cute simple vlogmas intro and vlog whenever you feel like it to make it easier

[@kazamlovesmusic]

ALISHA , I thought of a really cool vlogmas idea in case you want to reconsider! You could do a weekly vlog for december and market it like a newspaper of what happened during the week even if you don't vlog every day! It could be like an "EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT" vibe! So people will be waiting to watch your vlog by the end of the week!

[@kristinakachinskaya6410]

My friend once gave me advice that shook me to my core “you can’t be there for them, if you aren’t here for yourself” take care of yourself first Alisha, we just want you happy ❤

[@skyylovespace]

*love, light, and healing energy to everyone reding this* ✨

[@gianna_elkins]

I’ve always thought of vlogmas as an advent calendar. Some of them are 12 days, some are 25, regardless not every gift is amazing and that’s ok. The magic of it was that 5 minutes every morning/evening I get to be excited about a gift! Just food for thought 💖

[@MsOhenderson]

I never leave comments buuuuut... If Vlogmas was, at most, one recap video of the month, I'd survive. Seriously, I love this conversation. As I get older, I find myself saying goodbye to traditions I thought I would enjoy forever. Maybe not forever, but I was so happy doing certain things when I was younger. Yet, feeling myself lose interest or drift away is so hard. I have watched all 10 years of vlogmas, but I will survive. I will rewatch my favorite vlogmas episodes and, of course, watch Remi's vlogs (which I do anyway). I love watching you both grow and feel like I have grown with you two. (I started watching when I was like 14-15yrs old and obsessed with KZbin and now I'm 25yrs old married, building a family, and barely have time to keep up with KZbin)

[@yutzilvaleria140]

Maybee Alisha can go on a mini vacation to a place she really likes during some part of December?? A reset of place, especially if the thought of decorating is too much right now? And then vlog whatever she wants of the trip/the month of december?

[@iloverollypollies]

can we take a moment to honor ingrid for creating vlogmas

[@francesmac]

I heard this quote recently - no idea who said it - "what you are not changing, you are choosing" and its so simple but its changed everything.

[@Yasmineee_a]

The security in yourself at 30 is true. I am 30 and its so relaxing. Its peaceful. At this age, you don’t care about anything except your mental health and physical health and nothing else matters lol. Also, no one is judging you because you’re older and no one cares, they all have their own lives and so do you!

[@LukesLiife]

Alisha you will never let us down, you do you 🩷🩷🩷 Love you always xox

[@isabellakelly9721]

I want you to do whatever you want Alisha - if you post one vlog in December or one a week or none- we will support you and love it 😍

[@yadiraibarra9272]

I LOVE when the podcast episode is just them having a glirlies yap session these are my favorite types of episodes 🥰🥰

[@Chelsealosesthis]

Alisha we will take any vlogmas you wanna give us we love you!!!

[@nicoleurquhart3]

as much as id love seeing daily vlogs, its not that big of a deal, i think just the fact that its a tradition to look forward makes it fun! i feel like you should start a new tradition that you and the fans can look forward to which is not so draining for you and is sustainable

[@kimberlymazz]

Alisha you said you wanted to journal more. Do your vlogmas in journaling format then do a main channel video debriefing and reflecting on your unplugged holiday time ❤

[@itsveee]

Remi’s fits are always so good Please start linking your clothes!! LTK perhaps?? Love you girls

[@taylorjones435]

alisha omg

[@hailecruz8546]

As a viewer for many years, I love vlogmas BUT since I have a couple KZbinrs I watch I myself get to a certain day and get so far behind on watching that by day 10ish I’m having to catch up and then don’t finish. Don’t stress about doing vlogmas, I’ll watch regardless 🩷🩷

[@Embur19]

After a super busy morning- spending my lunch hour listening to the pod 🥰 I love it here

[@teacup166]

This episode is the sole thing getting me through this day 😅

[@shaynagonzalez6787]

As a viewer who has listened/watched pretty basic since the beginning, and a long time viewer of Alisha (macbaby11 days), it’s been so crazy seeing the two of you growing up and growing up with y’all. (I’m 24) ❤

[@alondragonzales3317]

If all Alisha uploads is 1 min everyday I would still watch it 😅❤️ you’re out comfort girl too like remi says

[@skyylovespace]

*weekly vlogmas >>>*

[@CourtneyNoble]

thats why you gotta go a winter arc challenge before the new year! i started a week ago and it's really motivating!

[@julieta8683]

Super excited to watch Remi's vlogmas intro for vlogmas 2024 she killed it last year and this year she'll be even better with her craft 😄👏🏻🎄💕

[@xStephieboox]

Alisha maybe do vlogmas but spend 25 days going to different events or businesses that are holiday themed like trying out new coffee shops and getting a Christmas-y drink, going to a tree lighting in your city, a Christmas parade, go see Santa with your friends, etc. and just edit the clips from that one specific thing vs the whole day.

[@DaisyDePina]

Alisha been here for all your vlogmas and I’m so happy your actually not doing it, it seems so tiring, will obviously still be eating up whatever content you post! ❤❤❤❤

[@thepurplepiano21]

Alisha!!! Idea for Vlogmas: Re-release (or unprivate) different vlogs from the past 10 years to see how far you've come in the past decade ❤. (Maybe as an intro you can sit and talk about where you were at that point in life, or no intro… film yourself reacting to each old vlog)

[@lexigarzaa]

Julia & Hunter havens do Vlogweek so they only do vlogmas for a week and it’s the perfect balance!

[@fredcabatic]

Basically Unfiltered members should share vlogmas for patreon. Each of you are assigned certain days of dec to vlog!

[@MathewDuncan2005]

Vlogmas is nice but alisha you guys work yourselves into the bone take a good christmas break. We all will be here waiting patiently

[@iloverollypollies]

yess i love taylor farms, my sister got me onto them.

[@tealsteak]

Alisha I can see you making “deeper” content that would help people in more ways. being less personal online about the people in your life will bring more personal relationships to you irl

[@carlywilliams1624]

Alisha if you are still wanting to do something, but just not the full commitment of 25 days because honestly, that could be a lot, do one vlog a week for the four weeks of December! I personally prefer to watch longer videos with a bunch of stuff in one rather than a bunch of short videos, and I feel like a lot of us feel that way! Regardless, do whatever is best for you and we will always still support y’all🤍

[@yikesmonica]

ALISHA UR HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD HEREEE i also looveeeeee the jeans!

[@Chelsealosesthis]

Draw in my life sent me because omg why were we so invested in yall whiteboard drawling lmfao I love being able to watch this on my walking pad so entertaining and bam I’m 30 mins in on walking I love you girly pops!!!!

[@mightywwfell]

I am older then the both of you I did not plan my life in my early 20s but in my mid 20s I wanted alot. When I was 27 I got my first bf at 28 got fired from my job . At 29 I was pregnant with my son and was homeless. At 39 I got my dream job life is so chaotic.

[@xanthebautista5440]

I love both of your vlogs so much, and honestly Alisha, u are not giving yourself enough credit for the work and effort you have put into your job! It’s hard cause we are usually so much harder on ourselves. But I want u to know that u are doing a great job! For vlogmas this year I just wanna suggest that u shouldn’t commit to doing a full 25 day of vlogmas cause that can put you in a lot of stress, and we don’t want that for you. So u should try your best to vlog on those days you feel like it. Quality over quantity! 🥰🥰

[@kasscopper]

absolutely LOOOVE Alisha's pants!!!

[@adannamize5060]

I think 12 days of christmas is fun cuz then its easier to plan.

[@irreleivant]

24:05 whenever I go to bed, I put my phone on dnd and I read on my kindle until my eyes get heavy. definitely recommend

[@kelseythecreative]

THE HEELS YES QUEENS!!

[@gardeniarose]

hiiiii! long time listener of the pod and subscriber of you both and turning THIRTY SIX in two weeks! Can confirm your 30s is the BEST time. You get a better sense of self, more confidence, and tbh LESS FUCKS 😂 Embrace it and love it! Rooting for you both 🫶🏽

[@Hey.its.Lala95]

Sorry to say this but Remi wa smy favourite but getting to know Alisha we have so much in common and I really appreciate her

[@IsAbel-sv8rv]

Alisha’s vlogmas’ are my fave 😢

[@emilydiakow2736]

Alisha you should do 12 days of vlogmas that way you can still do it but then you can enjoy some of the holiday and have some rest.

[@millylarz]

I remember commenting on Alisha's vid where she was second guessing vlogmas and so recommending here too, y'all are people and your health both mental and physical come first❤! My only thing is, it feels like Alisha is the type of person that needs closure, so like a bye to vlogmas send off where either posting a once a week vlogmas or like the 12 days of Vlogmas seems like it would help her not feel guilty. I mean Ashley's vlogmas still slayed last year but she took a step back. That fomo and then regret of missing out without getting to say goodbye to the end of an era, I just feel like Alisha will unnecessarily beat herself up if she doesn't do a little something for vlogmas😂 our girl is her own biggest bully and critic😮😅.

[@LenaHillOnTour]

Alisha, please just vlog a bit every day in December and then upload it like normal vlog. So new vlogs every few days, but no pressure to record a lot every day. If you do nothing one day, vlog that. Like lying on the couch, watching a show all day telling us what you liked or disliked about it. And of course there is the normal vlogmas stuff like decorating or buying presents. Just vlog your normal self, don't fret. Honestly, I just want to watch a girl in December 😭. That's what it's about right? Being a girl in December 🐶🎄☃️🍪

[@melinaavilav.6986]

Perfect timing. Just got on the treadmill!! Love you guys so much🥹

[@rachelhutchinson6234]

I think it would actually be cool to have like a flash back Vlogmas , even if you sprinkled a few 2024 vlogmas when your feeling up to it ☺️

[@kelseylou93]

You could just do weekly vlogs leading up to Christmas and still call it vlogmas. You don’t have to have it be daily if you don’t want to. Create your own vlog schedule how you want to. It’s up to you want to and what you feel up for we will still support you whatever you decide.

[@jessicaraynegiberson4374]

Pls do favorites of the month! I miss that part of og youtube

[@kellyalejandra2563]

I feel like every OG KZbin doesn’t wanna do a constant vlogmass anymore & it’s ok. If you wanna do everyday do it. If not just check in on new years! Why would you wanna end the year so stressed out. Enjoy the holidays this year 😊

[@jocelynchavez8054]

You can also do vlogmas on TikTok instead of KZbin that way it’s less long videos

[@usagimoon.x.o6256]

Love you two together!!❤ friends goals!

[@jasminemarie6732]

u literally created vlogmas Alishaaaa 😮❤

[@daixyray]

I think this year is the perfect year to not do Vlogmas! You have 2 podcast and a Patreon and would love to see fun normal scheduled content on all of those channels

[@Mahalkitalisette04]

Omg Alisha please do vlogmas!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 even if it’s weekly!!!! Or maybe do smaller vids of doing activities - Christmas tree, buying decor, etc Also I know it can feel repetitive but for me personally I LOVE doing Christmas decorating every year! ALSO VID IDEA!!! Have BASICALLY UNFILTERED decorate your tree!!! And you give them $$$ to buy ornaments and decorations etc! Something different! Maybe instead of focusing on repetition think of a new Christmas theme or idea you that will excite you! 😊

[@braylee10]

alisha i think you could just vlog however much you feel like in december, just make a new cute lil vlogmas intro for the december vlogs and maybe don’t go all out for the intro

[@lonelylilac7163]

No remi, I went to go see sweetener tour. The sound booth was dysfunctional and Ari came down to play with it and take insta stories. I noticed she was literally right in front of me and I called out to her. She was wearing her signature ponytail and oversized white hoodie at the time. We ended up shaking hands. I was unwell. I hope you actually get to meet her!

[@clairetrestrail7876]

Alisha aww its ok to cry please do vlogsmas i love when you do ot every year 😢😢😢😢

[@hannahA2024]

ALISHA ITS OKAY TO BE SELFISH!! ITS ALSO NOT EVEN SELFISH TO PRIORITIZE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH!

[@girlwithpearls98]

Tbh as a viewer i don’t care about vlogmas. Quality > quantity. Alisha i love your humor when you joke

[@cyrenaflaherty3303]

have only read the title and YAY REM!! so happy for you cannot wait to hear more!

[@leahjohnson6351]

Used the gatorade code for Alisha! You're so pretty! Pretty shoes wish they were in frame more!

[@ramyarammusic]

I’d love to see unedited vlogs!!❤

[@rebeccamcauley4549]

Love your vibes, Remi and Lida lately. The outfit coordination unintentionally is brilliant. You both look sensational as always. I really enjoyed the topic of friendship in the future. What your predictions are for your living situations. You are both great at imbracing change. Which is something I have had to work on 🧡🧡🎙🎧

[@jessicasmiles9299]

For vlogmas… what if you vlog a min or 2 each day and then put it all together on Christmas?

[@janicegericke9544]

Flopmas intro has to be Heath's Xmas song 😂

[@nidiadiaz2426]

Remiii Ariana is also my number 1 so I get the excitement and am so so so happy you got to see the movie with her omg! Also, Alisha girl we love you and will take anything you give us, if all you have to give is 20% and you give us 20% that means you gave us 100&!

[@langlangg03]

Vlogmas but it’s a random generator of vlogmas’ past 😂 like vlogmas day 1 2024 could be any vlogmas day 1 from year1-10, and the intro is you randomly selecting which one !!

[@gxbree]

loved this episode!! omg it was so so wholesome 🩷

[@parkerperspective]

This is such a good ep.
