On top of that, she’s obsessed with herbal teas, preferring them without milk because, in her words, “why ruin perfection?”

 

Though she works in entertainment, Blossom enjoys a cozy night in with rom-coms, Yuja tea, and snacks rather than the club scene. Musically, she thrives on a variety of genres, but Neo-Soul — especially the hits from the early 2000s — holds a special place in her heart. You can catch Blossom every Saturday from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Bounce 89.1FM, where she brings fresh vibes at the top of each hour.
