OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1296th 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:

In previous posts I have shared with you about the Peppermint, and the Oregano Orejon that we have planted in a small garden at home, I have also shown you the beautiful Lemon Balm bush and the Exotic Aloe Vera plant that we share with the neighbors.

But today I bring you a drink from a plant that we usually use to cook dishes and give aroma, but rarely give it the required use.

While most of you are out partying or celebrating the weekend, I took the day to do one of my favorite things.... doing my makeup! I had already told you that I have a new rhinestone for my proposals, so today I also wanted to include it in this design, but in a bigger amount than the previous one because they really give a good boost to any makeup, I think it was definitely a good investment.

Since early spring I have been seeing the same family of deer visiting the yard from the woods behind my home. The female had two fawns in early summer and they still have some spots on them even now.

We finally pushed through the planned outing. We have been anticipating this day hoping the weather and circumstances cooperate. Thankfully "all is well" that day. The weather was good and things went on as planned. This outing is a much need break from the usual.

Greetings, dear friends, today I want to present you my anthropomorphic Hive design called HIVE CHAN. I'm not sure if this idea has already been done but honestly I haven't seen it, I thought it would be a good idea to do my version and share it with all of you. I would like to encourage all Hive artists to make their version of the character and comment freely on what they would like me to change or add to it. Well, talking about the design, some time ago I had an idea of how this character would be, something I always had in mind is that she should have short hair, a little bit like an office girl. Before finishing the color stage I was asking what colors do you think when I mention HIVE? among the most common answers were red white and black, colors that I had to think how to add to the character. I really liked the result and I hope you like it, this character is a gift for any artist or cosplayer who wants to recreate her.

I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and tried to get my son up shortly after. After eating a complimentary breakfast at the hotel we departed the hotel at 9:00. I really wanted to be on the way no later than 8:00. The plan was too visit some caves, see Mount Rushmore, and drive through Custer State Park to see some wildlife. Well we didn't do all that, we got railroaded!!

As I mentioned in my previous art tutorial, I have been painting with watercolor, mostly portraits. But this time I wanted to try something different and one thing I noticed is that food in drawings looks beautiful, with its vivid colors and details.

Hello my dear friends of HIVE, happy Sunday to all of you, I hope you are doing well; my goddaughter Sophia returned home a couple of days ago, but we take advantage of every moment to share with her, she is a child that is easy to love, and provokes to do many things so that she has a great time, a few days ago we went to "Parque de la Guaricha ", it was her first time, she was very happy to be there, but the rain interrupted the walk and there were still spaces to walk and time to enjoy, although Sophia did not express at any time dissatisfaction with what was happening, my mother and I felt that the day was still young and could do something more, we just had to wait for the rain to stop.

Look, this is a Bloody Mary. Are we? Do you like it that way? Well it turns out that it is my favorite drink and I always ask for it, even if I end up drinking something else later. But it also turns out that not everyone knows how to prepare a good Bloody Mary.

In my case, a year ago, if I take it as an example, I went through depressions or emotional lows which I solved by talking to someone to vent those feelings. For this I thank with all my heart to my friend Mariangelica, many times she was that lifeguard in the middle of the sea, just a message from her was enough to say ¨here I am, let's talk¨ the truth is that those kind of words made me feel so good.

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.
