# <center>OCD DAILY - Issue #229</center>

<h2><center>**Welcome to the 229st issue of @OCD Daily!**</center></h2>

Issue #229 highlights content from ten (10) Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steemit to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found ten new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steemit users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

<center><b>The @OCD nomination process</b></center>

*A curator will **FIND** a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.*

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

<center>If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!</center>

All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

OCD was in a break for the last week since it was the Easter holiday and we did some restructurations, but now we're back.

#### <center>Our top nomination of the day is from @sunravelme</center>
<center>After all this Easter holiday filled with lots of great food, dinners with the family and friends, nothing works better than some good old, relaxation time. Instead of going out to a movie or something like that, you can always go out in a place more nature related and enjoy the natural springs like in the place captured in the post below.

#### <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @travelingstories</center>
<center>These guys are traveling the world and sharing their experiences and stories with us so we can learn from them and have better trips in the future. Today, they are talking about an amazing lagoon that will simply take your breath away and make you want to go there too so make sure to check out the post below for some beautiful images and stories.

#### <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @insideoutlet</center>
<center>Only when you’re doing crazy things that are way outside of your comfort zone you grow tremendously as a person and if you’re doing something like that for a charitable reason even better. This user is jumping off a cliff as training before jumping off a huge building in order to raise money and awareness for ostomy.

#### <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @karenfoster</center>
<center>The homegrown food has always tasted better than the one bought from a supermarket, and the best way to grow some is through a greenhouse. Besides all the health benefits of growing your food, there come financial benefits too so if you’re interested in building a greenhouse, make sure to check out the post below to get an idea about the process.

#### <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @borisindrikov</center>
<center>Plenty of paintings are posted on Steem every day but what makes this one stand out from the crowd is the amazing in-depth details and the amount of hard work that was invested into the creation of it. Make sure to check out the post below because I assure you, the process will amaze you.

<center>You would think that making food is a hard thing where you have to follow certain set rules in order not to fail but that cannot be further from the truth and it’s nicely shown in the post below. The author is putting together multiple ingredients, creating something new while letting his imagination free flow.

<center>I always use to believe that the best teachers are those that often go outside of the program only to teach the kids something that may help them in life, even if it’s not taught in a textbook. This user is presenting an experiment she did in class, and I must say, the outcome is very interesting.

<center>We often see interesting usernames on Steem, but we have no idea about the stories behind them, so this challenge is perfect to expose that. This guy picked an awesome name and logo for himself that might give you a few ideas about his past, but I urge you to give his story a read because you might like it.

<center>Being yourself, being authentic is the greatest gift you can give both to yourself and to those around you since we’re living in a society where most people are fake just to be liked by others. In such a world, being yourself is an art forgot by many, but you can get a brief idea about it from the post below.

<center>Portraits are an interesting and not so easy form of art considering that you have to reproduce as much as you can a person on paper but this guy just nailed it. Being able to create a drawing that looks as much as a human as an image, is a rare skill so make sure to check out the post below.
