How is works is, you nominate someone who you feel makes Cape Town a little bit nicer, with a little motivation, and Lee nominated <em>me</em>!</p> <p>I'm so touched, and so excited. This is such a neat, good-vibe campaign.</p> <p>And for anyone wondering, those cupcakes are as good as they look. You should keep an eye on Cupcake Richard and if you know someone who you believes makes Cape Town a little bit nicer, go on and nominate them.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-fourth-photos field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="/sites/hellopretty.co.za/files/styles/2014_blog_full/public/20140509-img_26247.jpg?itok=FLrOtEy_" width="770" height="513" alt="" /></div><div class="field-item odd"><img src="/sites/hellopretty.co.za/files/styles/2014_blog_full/public/20140509-img_26205.jpg?itok=j88FUcE0" width="770" height="576" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-fourth-text field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Thank you Cupcake Richard, and thank you Lee &lt;3</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-last-photos field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="/sites/hellopretty.co.za/files/styles/2014_blog_full/public/20140509-img_26278.jpg?itok=VY0hm_wX" width="770" height="499" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-last-text field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><em>(I had an espresso with my cupcake - and for anyone wondering, my espresso cup is from <a href="http://hellopretty.co.za/cabo-collaboration" target="_blank">Cabo Collaboration</a>.)</em></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog-tags/cake">Cake</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog-tags/surprise">Surprise</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog-tags/win">Win</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog-tags/giveaway">Giveaway</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog-tags/cupcake-richard">Cupcake Richard</a></div></div></div> Fri, 09 May 2014 11:48:19 +0000 Smath 17356 at http://helloman.co.za http://helloman.co.za/blog/a-friday-probably-doesnt-get-much-better-than-this#comments
