OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 825th 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:

For days now my friend hiver @/mariajcastro28 has been sharing content related to halloween and in one of our conversations we agreed that I would also put my hands to work, so today I bring you a nice bat-shaped candy box, typical for these monstrous dates, it is very easy to make and you could easily give it as a present. I hope you like it

Hello, hivers and friends. here is my Wednesday walk to Vigeland park in Oslo, Norway. These human figures with different emotions carved in local granite by world famous sculptor Gustav Vigeland. All statues are naked, the idea behind carving them naked was that Vigeland was thinking when you clothe the people that defines their place, time, status etc. But somebody naked could be anyone, anywhere, and anytime.

For today's market stroll, we went to the town's night market. The officials aimed to bring back economic development and growth of the municipality. Thus, they organized the night market. I thought it was part of the series of events they have prepared for Christmas however, I learned that this practice would last forever.

Just because I said that the first outfit is my favourite doesn't mean that I don't like this one, in fact I love it, but I just love it because of one factor that makes it a bit uncomfortable or impractical to wear on a daily basis, and that factor is the boots. For this look I have a long sleeves bodysuit with an opening on the shoulder, accompanied by a high cut jean (because I refuse the return of the hip trousers) and my beloved high heel boots, you can't imagine how much I love those boots, and for a long time I longed to have one and now that I have them I take care of them with my life, although because of its height is uncomfortable to wear them all the time, which makes this outfit only intended for specific moments or of importance. However this doesn't mean that this look doesn't have a casual version, because in this life you have to be ingenious with your clothes, and its transformation includes a change of shoes and I think that by now you know what that change is, because they are the studded converse from the previous outfit, and for this and many other reasons it hurts me that they are getting damaged, they were always a viable option for the changes of some outfits.

Manual printing has a truly calming effect on my mind. I do find the whole process, from carving and preparing the printing plate, to finally apply color and discover only then the true outcome of your work, genuinely beautiful.

Some time ago I learned to prepare these delicious treats, I don't know why until then it occurred to me to share my recipe, which is very simple. I tell you that I used to ask to add glucose, but by chance once I forgot to add it and the difference in the results is almost nil, I honestly did not understand what is the function of this ingredient in the recipe. I apologize to the experts because it must have some effect, because the recipe with which I used to make them in the past I had taken it from the internet, but as I told you it has had some variations during the passage through my hands. Another thing I also decided to eliminate is the citric acid, I love sour gummies, but as I now prepare them for my little guests, I prefer to make them with less chemicals. It's just a mother's opinion. Ok, now I told you with my list of ingredients which are only three:

Hello dear friends of beer, last week during our fall vacation, it was that time again. I have tasted a new type of beer. We were in East Frisia on the beautiful North Sea on that day made a mudflat hike. The weather was beautiful, so we brought a picnic blanket and some snacks with us to the beach. With us was a bottle of Hemelinger spezial. Hemelinger spezial has been brewed since 1878 and is a bottom-fermented draft beer with 4.7% alcohol content. For a long time it was brewed outside the Hemelingen district by the Haake Beck brewery, which belongs to Becks & Co. Since 2012, it has been brewed at Hofbrauhaus Wolters in Braunschweig. Nevertheless, it is one of Bremen's beer specialties and promises to be "quaffable, mild and simply good." So for a light beer in the afternoon after a mudflat hike just right ;)

The room was lit and there were no signs of movement. Did I turn the light on before going out? Before I could fully grasp what was happening, my partner, Carl surprised me from behind and told me to change my clothes ASAP. I looked at her face and she seemed happy, so it was definitely not an emergency. My brain was still trying to understand what on earth is going on but I listened and got myself sorted out.

Yesterday I wrote about my passion which is all about being a good make-up artist and I've been working towards it and that includes becoming an apprentice whereby I'd learn to work on different types of faces, lips, skin tone etc and to accomplish all of that, I needed the right tools which we call makeup kits/products.

Although I am not a horticulturalist, I don't want to say that I don't like them, but for that you have to have time and at the moment mine is going between the house, the children and work, although I would like to have a space to relax and to be able to do things that I like and that satisfy my soul.

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.
