The Daily Sneak 19 August 2018 - with guest curator @viking-ventures
Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!
You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.
Today's guest curator is @viking-ventures.
Lori is a photographer, author and student-of-the-world who takes delight in finding undervalued bloggers and helping them find some love from the Steem community. Lori's main project on Steemit at the moment is serializing her fiction series, A'mara Books.
The Sneaked Selections
Forget the Filters and Face Enhancing Just Love Yourself - Ulog#2
Today's first article is a timely reminder that we don't need to be photoshopped to be acceptable. When we over-process our photos before we dare post them on social media, we are telling the world that we agree with the air-brushed world of the model and that nothing else is good enough. @mimismartypants reminds us that we don't need these things and that we are uniquely ourselves and beautiful as we are.
Love Friday - Caturday "Mina and Emma La Rue"
Here we have a very personal and touching episode from @youhavewings's pet-oriented life. Our pets are so precious to us and sometimes we forget how precious we are to them as well, as explained in this article. I enjoyed this post very much, and if you're an animal person at all, I think you'll find your heart touched by it.
Taking A Shower Is A Waste Of Time! (Thoughts From A Child)
Cute article from this father blogger, @sumatranate. I have to say I agree with the little girl's perspective. Yet, that's not all he wants us to get from this article. We are meant to look deeper into what is being said - find out what is actually being communicated. Listen, not just hear. Excellent article which asks us whether we are truly listening.
MY NEW ARTWORK - PENCIL DRAWING ON PAPER | TITLE : A GIFT
Wow - an art lesson plus a life lesson all in one! What makes the perfect gift for someone? Something bought from the store? Or something more from your heart? This amazing piece of art was made for a birthday, the most precious thing @maxijgcomm could possibly give this person. Well worth a read.
Conclusion
Amazing commentary and selections from @viking-ventures. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @viking-ventures earns 4 SBD.
Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!
Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

Thanks, @viking-ventures and @thedailysneak!! I really didn't think my little rant would get this much exposure! Glad you all enjoyed the read!
Congrats to the Viking for making the cut on the daily sneak! And thank's again for choosing my article!!
You're so welcome. I love your article and hate that people feel the need to change themselves. Especially you with the delicious mocha skin! My skin is Northern European white - with a tinge of Native American brown - enough to help me tan and require a browner tint if I wear makeup (I don't), but still quite pale.
LOL at "Delicious Mocca skin"😂😂 i do tend to pale out a bit in winter, which is why im was desperately searching to remove said setting!!
You very lucky you can tan though! Not many witb Pale European skin can! Beats going red and burning!!
Nothing wrong with wearing a little make up now and then! You lucky you have beautiful skin that doesn't need it!
Thanks. Strangely, I was thinking of a dialogue I wrote for my characters recently. One is from a very dark tribe and I had the other refer to her friend's skin (they were talking about colors of clothing) as "deliciously chocolate." Pale European skin doesn't quite do that sort of thing, I guess.
I have nothing wrong with makeup, but have never got into it. I think I've used it for about two weeks at two different times of my life - then I said "forget it" and that was the end of it.
Sounds very interesting. I see you writing a book!! I have followed you do i can binge read this!!
Lucky. I mostly use it to lightly cover breakout as i get them quite bad. But if i dont have to i dont bother. Most of the time some moisturiser works best for me!
