OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1423rd 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:

There are so many daily chores that sometimes we forget to make the most of each of our senses in order to experience pleasure and other benefits we deserve. The world is designed to turn us into the reflection of a robot. It seems that we carry the itineraries so programmed in our heads that we adopt them as part of our personality.

Hello my dear Hive friends! You don't know how much my hands were itching to tell you about the new products I purchased and added to my skincare and hair routine but I decided to wait to give them their good test time before coming here and telling you about them. I wanted to first wait some time to see how these creams reacted to my skin, if I had any breakouts over time, if my hair looked better too. But I will tell you about that one by one later.

How are you today? I hope you are always healthy, so you can be creative with various Vegan cooking menus.Food is one of the identities of a nation or even an ethnic group, by looking at a food menu or by tasting a dish, we can find out the origin of the food. For example, in Indonesia there are various menus of typical dishes from various ethnic groups, the Minang tribe from West Sumatra is synonymous with spicy dishes, the Javanese are synonymous with sweet dishes, the Malays are synonymous with fatty dishes and there are many more dishes that can become the identity of an ethnic group. Today I will share a vegan dish that is synonymous with the Javanese tribe, namely semur /stew.

What is the best about living in the Czech Republic? You always take a stroll through a piece of nature and end up in a cozy microbrewery that crafts top-notch beers. Even when you live in Prague, the capital, there are still plenty of protected woods and deep forests to venture into and get lost for hours, feeling like a lone survivor in the wild. If you're lucky, you might even spot deer, game, boars (well, that might be rather a piece of bad luck), or hares. Especially when the weather takes a turn for the worse, like when it snows most of the day, you hardly meet a soul once you get several kilometers from the nearest house. It wasn't the first snow this year; it had already snowed on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, but it was the first one that lasted a while. As you can see, it gave the forest an almost fairy-tale-like look.

Being one of the librarians taking charge of the Library Hub in the 4th district of Cebu, I had the honor of visiting Davao City, a stunning city, and immersing myself in the vivid imaginations of Filipino writers, many of whom are only known to book enthusiasts.

Started with inspo art from Pinterest. I chose a simple hand pose for this art. I planned to draw a good looking guy in a hoodie. Might as well throw some accessories like lip and ear piercing. The hoodie is oversized so I am not particular about the silhouette of the character. I separated the hand into another layer so that I could adjust it later. On the lineart, I used a pencil texture brush. I used a thicker size for the facial details such as the eyes, mouth, etc. A chiseled jaw and wide neck make the character look strong and manly (in my opinion).

Remember that one of the gifts we used to receive the most at Christmas time were nice cards to complete any gift, my favorites were the cards that when opened emitted a Christmas themed sound. My mom always received several, and I loved them. I feel that cards are a nice way to express nice things to others, so for my part they will never go out of style💫💕, without further ado....

The arrival of a child is undoubtedly one of the most important moments in the life of every human being. Those dates will remain engraved in our hearts and every year we will be transported to that brief and intense moment, the birth of our children.

The idea came to my mind when I thought about giving life to one of the walls of the set where I record my videos. I wanted to decorate it with something that would be emblematic for me. That's when I thought that a painting with the Hive logo would be perfect. So I decided to make that painting myself, painted in watercolor on 100% cotton paper so that it would last a lifetime.

When my son started attending face-to-face in elementary school, one of the things he always asked for was to carry a bento box. When he watches Youtube and notices how it makes bentos, he gets jealous sometimes, and since he is my only child, of course I will not deny him the opportunity to experience this. I remember when my siblings and I were little, Mama would just give us a Zest-o juice and only five pesos because our teacher would get angry if we didn't buy any food at the school canteen. Well, up to this day, my loved one's school is still the same (he goes to the same school where I also attended). But since we are already in modern society and the five pesos as food allowance are not enough, I have no choice but to buy him food and make a bento box.

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.
