OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 56th 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:

Well I'm going to start this one off by saying first and foremost this skill takes a lot of patience and fortitude. It was not easy it was way harder then I ever imagined it would be. I had watched Youtubers for years making bow drill fires and they made it look so easy. Now that I've been through the process it will be way easier the next time. There is definitely a steep learning curve.

Today I bring you a way to obtain coconut oil very easy and very useful, as we find it in many beauty products and how not to prepare it at home because it is very good for us and gives us many properties. It is known to be moisturizing and nourishing, it helps our hair as it is a natural moisturizer and gives us shine, softness and strengthens it. It is not only useful for hair, but also for our skin and complexion, as it is an ally when it comes to combat acne and blemishes. For spots and acne we take a little coconut oil with our fingers, apply it with a gentle circular massage so that our product penetrates well into the skin and activates the circulation in that area. This great product is good for wrinkles and stretch marks.

I found some half-decent supermarket brand coffee. It's part of the "Extra Special" brand at Asda, one of the largest supermarket chains here in the UK. I believe the supermarket itself was acquired a few years ago by an American conglomerate chain - Walmart I think. Anyway, they usually have a 3-tier system of quality with their in-house products. You have the 'value' stuff, which is usually much cheaper versions of anything you can buy there. There's the 'standard' version, which competes with standard products, and there's the 'extra special' stuff, which is their version of premium or luxury products.

My wednesday this week was truly relaxing. Very timely no soil test project, so, my son drove us to CEBECO - Cebu Electric Cooperative. I went inside the office brought with me the papers lacking for our electric application waiting for approval. My son and hubby just waited outside parked 30 meters away. The office was full of applicants and bills payor but still observing social distancing, the guard was the one controlling the line up and see to it all who went inside washed their hands and monitored the body temperature.

I got a call for help and nice person that I am I followed the call. It was my elderly neighbors who needed more help than usual. Both of them are not feeling very well lately. So I went over Friday morning to do the regular house cleaning. This alway takes about 2 hours. After I finished I offered to run some errands. I got a list and money and started my little journey.

This time I was inspired by death, because there comes a time in our lives when we must make the passes with the idea that sooner or later we will have to leave, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. I do not deny that it is something that causes me much fear, but hand in hand with God, I am working on my present and with the purpose that my departure from this world is for that eternal paradise that he promised us. So let's start!

We agreed to wait until the next day to do the test in case the symptoms went away or it was a virus. We really didn't want to get our hopes up in vain. The next day I couldn't take it anymore, I felt it was positive and I had to know. My suspicions were true, I marked 2 red lines, according to the indicator it was positive. I came out of the bathroom crying and we hugged each other, life was smiling at us, we were very afraid that the pregnancy would affect my pathology, but we were sure that we would fight to the end for this baby that was inside me.

I am new in this group as well as in Hive. I just roaming around and watching the group activities everyone does. Its a very interesting group I have found so far. Because this is a group for sketch lovers and artists. I am not a professional artist, but love to sketch and draw. Its one kind of my passion.

Hello friends of Hive, I tell you that I was tidying up a bit and I found a few old books at home, but there was one that particularly caught my attention because I could never finish reading, it was a very heavy reading, and I confess that Yes I tried multiple times but could never move forward So I took the book and asked several at my mother's house if anyone had read it, I had the intention of giving it a second chance, but not even my sister who reads even the shampoo bottles couldn't finish reading

I decided to write this guide because here in the Philippines, our senior high school students are about to graduate this May and somewhere in June or July (for public schools). So if you are a graduating senior high school student or you knew a friend who's one, this is for you and for them.

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.
