OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 548th 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:

I named them choco peanut eclipses because of the two shades in the cookie, which resemble a moon going into phase 🌓

Now to get right to the point, I must say that my family believes that I am a strong woman and that I get by without the need for motivational quotes or self-help books. I have read few books in this category. One that I really enjoyed because it made me laugh out loud and made me analyze many aspects of my life, was "I am the XP version: Heterosexual happily divorced" by Ana Flor Raucci, which was recommended to me by my sister when I separated from my ex-husband.

Certainly, I will remind you that it is natural cosmetics, for those who have read me and also for those who read me for the first time: Natural cosmetics are cosmetics formulated with 95% natural elements of plant, animal or mineral origin. And the rest can be synthetic compounds derived from the above.

Hello to all succulent lovers who share their experiences here. It is the first time that I publish an article in this community. When I saw the name of the community I did not know what it referred to, because in everyday life we see varieties of plants and we give them the name that seems to us or the one that people in general know the most. I never imagined that this type of small, low watering and easy to care for plants would be called succulents.

With inflation strongly felt in my part of the world, it only makes sense to live a minimalist life now more than ever. Food costs are so high that the fam doesn’t even have enough budget to buy useless stuff or too much food.

my intentions have been pure as regards this wednesday walk community. who would not walk on a wednesday if they knew they had a chance of bumping into @mipiano. unfortunately i have had serious lapses of concentration brought on by life and all its experiences so mostly i remember wednesday walk on thursday.... and this is how it has been going for months now.

It was 5 weeks ago when we took the ferry from the island of Crete, where we live the past 8 years, to Nafplio, the hometown of my partner and a beloved destination!

It was meant to be a 10 days trip (more or less) but life got in the way in the most unexpected way and we are still here! I am not complaining, it is a beautiful place in any occasion but the last two and a half weeks was far from what we had in mind as a pleasant vacation!

The value music brings to our world can't be underestimated and just like we always hear that music is life. Music has brought a lot of changes to which I believe some other genre of life can't bring.

I have already been in Aalborg twice this year, so I have had the opportunity to come across some of the lastest street art. I always take a look in the park Karolinelund. This park seems to be a street artists paradise. There is hardly an empty wall, so it must be a popular place. The paintings change often, so I am quite sure that I have missed some Maybe because of lack of space.

I am wondering what I should do with this cactus. It was growing in a large clump when I got it, then I repotted it and removed a few smaller ones that were around and almost dug up in the soil. Now they grow in sperate pots. I kept the few biggest ones that were in the middle together. It looks nice this way, but they do not grow as nice I would like to.

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.
