For many, Valentine’s Day is a day to show those you love how much they mean to you. For others, it can be more of a somber day; especially if you’ve lost someone special to you.
One Charlotte florist has made it her goal to make sure event those who may struggle with Valentine’s Day, still get shown love.
Ashley Manning, delivered flowers to over 800 local widows this Valentine’s Day. Manning is the owner of Pretty Things in Charlotte. She also teamed up with a group of volunteers to create the Valentine’s Day Widow Outreach Project. The nonprofit was created in 2021, and has continued to grow every year since then.
Names of those who will be receiving the special surprise were submitted by community members.
What a wonderful idea! Valentine’s Day doesn’t always have to be a day about buying things, and going out to nice dinners. The Valentine’s Day Widow Outreach Project shows that it can also be a wonderful to give back.
The Most Anticipated Tours of 2023
2023 will see the return of amazing live performances, with some of the biggest musical artists hitting the road once again. Whether it be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or a long hiatus from performing altogether, musicians have announced world tours and stadium tours alike for their ever-devoted fans. Musical pop legends like Madonna and Janet Jackson have recently announced tour dates on a global scale, while younger artists like Harry Styles and Taylor Swift are hitting the road, too. And we’re hoping to hear news about tours from Rihanna and Beyonce (separately).
Take a look below at who we are looking forward to seeing perform in 2023:
Hi, I'm Cameron! I was born and raised in North Carolina. I'm a super tall redhead who is always down for tacos, enchiladas, and margaritas. Okay, so Mexican food is my personal favorite, but I’m not saying no if you’re trying to eat out on the town anywhere. I I am on air for middays but also the Program Director for Kiss 95.1. I enjoy connecting with Kiss 95.1’s amazing listeners and being able to bring all of my favorite things like food, wine, and life online into digital content.
