Summary
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.
