I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @thedarkhorse to find bloggers to promote.
It didn't take me too long to find my bloggers for this week. One, I even started chatting to yesterday... She had no idea I was about to feature her! So without further ado...
Selection #1 - @roger5120
I initially noticed @roger5120 for her awesome post about Seafood Paella - but there weren't enough days left to feature this one here - besides, I already recommended her elsewhere for it. I will have to remember to pick up all the ingredients next time I'm at the coast - the Rockies is a bad place to get inexpensive seafood!!!
@roger5120 also shares photos from her life and where she lives. (I already told her that I love the rhododendrons! I haven't seen so many here in Wyoming.)
Share some love with this blogger - she really does deserve it! (And try one of her recipes while you're at it!)
Selection #2 - @ana0918
@ana0918/how-to-have-fun-in-bangkok-3c28b12e47b42
Okay, this is @ana0918's first-ever Steemit post - and I think it is exceptional! She could probably do with adding more text and someone needs to introduce her to dtube and teach her some more cinematographic skills, but I love that she used text, photos and video to share about this beautiful city! I can't wait to see more from this budding Steemit star.
Bonus Selection
This week was really hard to choose. Someone who is positive. Again @lynncoyle1 is an obvious choice because she is so incredibly positive in light of her personal challenges. But I chose her last week, so it's time to give someone else a turn... Then, I thought of someone else who has personal battles of a significant kind, yet chooses to remain positive. And that would be @lymepoet!
@lymepoet/bubbles-the-greatest-indoor-playground-in-constanta-1cdaa636c877
This week, one of her features is of this indoor playground in Romania - which really is something else. You don't see things of this caliber in the US very often, that's for sure!
As is usual for @lymepoet, she is detailed and very positive in this post. If you're not already following her, you should be!
That's it from me this week - please check out this awesome contest. It's so much fun!!! (Not to mention the constantly-improving prizes!)
