OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 783rd 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:

What's up foodies friends☺️☺️ today I join the active initiative in the community, which falls like a ring 💍 to my finger hahaha because this was lunch at home yesterday, and coincidentally the post of the initiative I read it at night, so I decided to join today ☺️ and I will tell you a little about how I prepare it, especially the caraotas, that here at home are loved by everyone, and although here at home we like them both ways, I personally LOVE them with the sweet touch, I grew up eating them this way, but after I moved in with my husband I made them without sugar believing that he didn't like them sweet haha until one day he told me "Why don't you make them like your mom? "and since then I add a touch of sugar, because yes, it's just a touch, it's not a sweet bean as many think😂😂

Today I join this anniversary celebration of this beautiful community "Plant Power (Vegano)", I feel that I have found a place to express some creative ideas with plant-based food and in turn nourish myself with such excellent information that is shared here.

The best way to answer this question requires me to talk about WHY I practice minimalism. What motivates me? Well, as someone struggling with anxiety, it is essential for me to cut down so many things from my life. When I attended counseling a year ago, my counselor and I discussed the possible root cause of my anxiety. After processing many thoughts and experiences, we zeroed down on my habit of multitasking. I wanted to achieve many things while juggling multiple roles - wife, mother, daughter, friend, and artist. I was involved in numerous projects and initiatives because I wanted to achieve certain things within a certain period.

In this post, I want to show you photos of the dishes that I was treated to during lunch.

Believe me, all the dishes were very tasty!
In the first photo, fried eggplant stuffed with cottage cheese mixed with sour cream and sprinkled with dill.

Writing is my way of reinventing what balance would look like for my evolving self. It has been my only path back home to myself. It is how I get to free myself over and over again from the usual prisons we lock ourselves in during our lifetimes.

The Flower Market at Prince Edward is probably Hong Kong's largest flower market. It is the busiest street, especially on special occasions like Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and other occasions. It is the most convenient for me, as it is just located in the next city. Going there can be done on a train, or a minibus, or I can even just walk when not in a rush.

It has been a long time since I had a family trip to the beach, it had been many years since the last time I went, about 7 years ago. I am from Venezuela and in the city where I live (Barquisimeto) there are no nearby beaches to visit.

It was a cool cloudy, day. I thought it would be a good idea to go for a nice, steady walk through the forest in the Umhlanga Nature Reserve. The reserve has been closed for quite some time since the looting in 2021. I wanted to see if we could get access to it again, and then maybe treat ourselves to nice soft-serve ice cream at STEERS afterward.

During these months almost every week I usually elaborate tutorials of tendrils, it is something I like to do because little by little I am simultaneously perfecting different techniques and I like to invent too much. 😅

It's my pleasure to post again in this amazing #hivesredcarpet community but this time I want to voice a complaint about the Fast Fashion industry internationally. I start by telling you that since I've been living on this side of the pond, it hasn't been easy to find clothes I like because everything seems to be made for pubertas, skinny and slim. Let's see, I accept my body with love and I don't care about the extra pounds but when you get to see the windows of some stores, you avoid going in because their collection looks like only for slim, toned and perfect bodies. I have nothing against them, but I do have something against the lack of exposure of body shape diversity by the fashion industry today.

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.
