So, what is Blossom?
We're an online publication that aims to tackle young adulthood from the perspective of other young adults. It is meant to be reflective, raw, and fun, diving into the nostalgia that old magazines give us. It’s for those who want to examine their emotions, feelings, and learn more about who they really are. It isn’t about answers, it’s about exploration through our personal stories.

LOLA
ESTOK

Co-Founder, Editor
Lola is a screenwriter from Philadelphia, PA. She splits her time between creating freelance content and daydreaming about one day working her way into a television writers' room.

Maddy is a recovering homeschool kid from Dallas, TX. She is the definition of type-A and brings that obsessive energy into everything she does. She lives in LA with her partner and his cat. When she's not working on Blossom, she works at her Big Girl social media job, which she thinks justifies her unhealthy TikTok obsession.
