You know it’s going to be a wild episode when the customs officers get involved. Remi shares the wild story of how she found out she’s allergic to latex—and the weird connection it has to avocados?! Alisha opens up about her (very real) run-in with the law, getting stopped by customs, and allegedly smuggling something illegal into Japan. Plus, we dive into Japanese etiquette, signature scents, and the iconic celeb sighting that totally caught us off guard. You’re not ready for the chaos we unleashed in Japan — with zero regrets (okay… maybe a couple).

I've missed you. You look snatched and hot. What are we wearing today? Oh my God. Well, I just think it's crazy. We're back on the same page. Thank God. How long has it been since we've been, you know, same brain? I mean, to be honest, it was always there. I just chose to wear sweatshirts. I chose comfort. And today I thought I would actually try a little bit. Oh, no, not about getting ready. I mean, you look great. I just mean, I meant more like us both having the same vibe. Oh! Do you know what I mean? Yes, I knew that's, I knew that's like we have the same brain when we're both in sweatpants too. Yes, true, true, true. Like, we're both wearing loafers and we never wear loafers. We did not talk about this.

They're like, can you please put together like a list or like a guide? Which, I mean, in my head, I feel like I say it in the vlogs. But I guess I could always like, we could always have like official pretty base. That'd be a cute like post on the Instagram, like our official like favorite places in like Japan or Tokyo. I have to give a shout out. Food with soy also has a list that we will also link. And hers is so cute. It's called Soydified. Isn't that so cute? She has a list also. So we need to do something like that. Romified. Romified. Lociified. Wait. Really cute. |
