OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1730th 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:

Hello Hiver's happy beginning of the week Already recovering step by step I return to my center which is music. While the silences inhabited me, thinking about that spirit full of faith, courage and resilience, where it is forbidden to lose hope. Many musical themes went through my head, some that for the moment I will not be able to sing, but others that I can.

Today I bring you a delicious recipe for coconut kisses, a tradition in my area, it takes me back to my childhood, as I grew up surrounded by coconut farms that my mom has, since I am from a beautiful town where palm trees abound, being very small my mom used to make us many desserts with this exotic fruit and among them the one she enjoyed the most was the coconut kisses. That is why today I want to share with you how to prepare them. As many of us know, this fruit has great benefits and is used in great cuisines around the world. But here in Latin America it is tradition.

Surely you have heard or read about micellar water in different places, but... Do you know what it is and how it works? Here I explain it to you in a practical and simple way and not with such a technical language to make it easy to understand.

First, we must know that micelles are sphere-shaped molecular structures that are composed of molecules known as amphipathic, that is, those that are bipolar, having a polar end (with affinity to water or hydrophilic) and an apolar end (repel water or hydrophobic). The polar end will be represented by the heads and will be the humectants, which attract water to keep our skin moist, while the apolar end will be the tails, so that dirt and grease on our face will be trapped in this region. For this reason, in many micellar water presentations you will see a structure similar to this one:

Hello friends I hope you are very well, it is my first time posting here, in recent months I have started going to the gym and eat a healthier way for my well-being, and that is why today I bring you a very nutritious drink is a smoothie with oatmeal cambur.

Hey, Guys so I'm back again after taking 3 months off from here cause I was busy studying art 😩❤. But here we are again so I wanted to start again with my most fav art challenge on Hive which is the weekly art contest held by the Splinterlands community. This week I'm drawing one of their cutest bambi-eyed characters a Wood Nymph.

Let's discuss a little about her she is a Nymph and is a forest wood nymph so her hair is green and they have a flower blooming with her skin being a mix of blue and sea green and her eyes being blue too. Her body is very much like a fairy with a small curvy frame and elf ears and the clothes over them are just a long fabric draping over her body not like a mummy wrap more like drapery Greek-like clothes. She is very cute and innocent in her way yet the body seems revealing it's not vulgar at all so even with little clothing it looks very innocent and cute. That's how I saw the character in the card.

Today I finally finished all the details I had in mind to give mum for her birthday. I had all this month to invent and think of things I wished I could give her.... And I was able to do it! Many of those things thanks to Hive, gifts for the birthday girl, for my little cousins, a little present for a new goddaughter who is also my cousin 🤭, something for my dad and even for my mum's cat. (On the way I also bought a couple of trinkets for myself 😐)

To tell the truth the months passed, the plants seemed to be healthy and growing, but there was absolutely no sign that the flowering process was beginning, the days passed and little by little I was entering a deep state of despair, as I was very curious to know how those flowers were, everyone was telling me that they were beautiful, but for some reason none of the lilies that came in that pot had bloomed yet, at times I thought that I was not taking care of them in the right way, but when I checked again and again I realized that the soil was perfectly fertilized, they have a huge dose of sunlight and at the same time a good hydration, so there was no reason for so much delay.

Tonight I decided to try out a new recipe for my family and I: maple syrup and brown sugar bacon wrapped chicken bites! 😄 It may sound like a mouthful, because it sure is one! These bites were absolutely delicious... The entire family devoured them, and could have easily eaten more!

Hello, I hope everyone is well, this is the first time I upload content in this community, I am still new to the platform, and from time to time I start looking for posts from other hivers to read them and learn a little more every day, that's how I found this wonderful community, so I wanted to share with you something that has made me feel proud, and that is that I am growing and taking care of a small pepper plant, so I want to show you its evolution so far.

Some ideas came up, but the one I imagined myself enjoying the most this time is the one I am going to share with you. Some semi-sweet pastries because the dough is made with sweet potato but the filling is savory.

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.
