OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1109th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Thinking back, it's interesting how I got the idea for this series: Just before flying to Germany I was suffering from a sinus infection. Excruciating pain from one side of my head , even while of firm ground, made me not want to submit myself to the sudden change in altitude that was already booked and coming up in only a week's time. So I literally pulled all the stoppers and tried every single trick in the book, from inhaling steam from a pot to taking a hot bath, of course. The problem here was just: in our Mexico City apartment we didn't have a bathtub!

However, at the beginning of February of this year I entered the identification portal and found myself with the confusion that I could not carry out any procedure because according to the system neither my daughter, nor I, were in the country. Since 2019 apparently, our entry to Venezuela had never been closed.

On a good Friday, we cooked a "ginataang halo-halo" I collected all the skins of the ingredients. These are sweet potato skin, banana skin, rotten banana, and ube skin and I also added the skin of the fruit that my daughter ate. I thought that they were a bit wet and I also thought that somehow it was refreshing to the plant. Even in this way, the heat felt by the plants in the garden can be alleviated a little bit.

Phu is my old colleague two years ago, today while I am not too busy, I visited him and also to ask him some more gardening experience, and he wanted to take me up to taste the variety oranges that he is about to harvest and sell on the market. Currently he makes small miniature plants for creative decoration. Remember the first day when we met, he said he was very passionate about small bonsai and mosses and lichens. A person as young as him and passionate is rare among people his age. He greeted me in his garden suit, as natural and comfortable as he was, giving me no chance to say anything but wanting to lead me up to the orangery three hills from his house. He has a small mixed forest trail that weaves under a dense canopy of vines and thorny bushes.

That palm tree is planted in the garden where the offices where I work are located, I put it in my WhatsApp status and received several messages, some thought I was on the beach, it seems ironic to me if it is a working day, others only made comments that were not productive, so I ignored it. What can affect a person if you are or not on the beach on a Thursday, for God's sake?

Even at a young age, I have already experienced a lot of struggles in life. I remember losing the house my parents really worked hard to put up. I have made decisions like transferring to a high school in the countryside rather than continuing my studies in the international school I studied elementary in, so my parents could save money again. It has been tough, but I still consider myself lucky because my parents were with me during those times.

Good evening, dear hivers!, today I come to tell you something that makes me very happy.... I have a new cell phone! That's right friends, after saving meticulously for some time, finally I was able to buy a new cell phone that fits my current needs and one of the nicest things is that I bought it thanks to Hive. Saving my rewards in HBD with the "savings" system offered by Hive, I was able to collect the amount of $180 that allowed me to buy my new Infinix Note 12 G96, a smartphone that has me very satisfied, because it is what I expected and more.

A few days ago I was at home working with my laptop and suddenly I fell abruptly to the floor, the table where I was sitting collapsed, it was a strong impact to my body, I was almost breathless on the floor for a few seconds until I had the courage to get up.

After a while I looked for the hammer and put the table back together again, I did not dare to sit on it again because it needed reinforcement.

Today I want to accompany my two sisters to shop for new clothes at a clothing store in the city where we live. The first clothing store we visited was Toko Istiqamah, from the outside this shop looks ordinary and doesn't have a special impression, but my sister said inside it sells a variety of nice clothes and she really wants to buy and most importantly what makes us I want to go to this shop because this is one of the clothing stores that sell high quality clothes at low prices.

After some time absent from this community, it is a pleasure to invite you back to my blog, dedicated to all housewives, within this great community of artists and artisan creators at @/hivediy. Today I bring you a very simple and useful tutorial on how to make beautiful and colorful organizers for the kitchen. Most of the women who are dedicated to taking care of the home could appreciate this craft, since normally when we are at home It is the place that we frequent the most, these organizers are made with plastic dispensers, which fit well in the upper part of baby wipes packaging. Its result is great, and it also makes it easier to organize anything we want in the kitchen, making its location easier.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
