Summary

This week we’re catching up on everything from our weekends to the most random (but iconic) life updates. Remi shares what it was like growing up as a minority in Orange County, embracing her Asian culture, and even reflecting on little Remi—plus, yes, she’s been thinking about babies lately. Alisha talks about her painting era, her public apology to Katy Perry, and a texting mishap that had us crying laughing. We also get into Love Island drama, cheating, the perks of good friends, and whether or not Alisha secretly hired a private investigator on Cal 👀.
