Ulog 12: A Mini Adventure

It's 10 days before Christmas and December has been one crazy month thus far. With the crazy prices that's going on I know many are taking the chance to be with family and friends especially this time of the year, catching up and making up for many things, I for one am, too so I apologise if I have gotten a little too quiet lately

Like everyone at this time of year, we are super busy; and @alimamasstory is no exception. Come on over and see how she been crazy hectic in her life. And guess what? She's heading home next month! HOW exciting!

Christmas Gifts From The Heart

It's the week before Xmas, and most people I know are bustling around asking who wants what and buying this and that little thing.
I've never really been into that, I prefer to give gifts with meaning and usefulness, that won't be re-gifted or forgotten in a few days.

Are you like @amymya? Do you prefer to give and receive thoughtful gifts? Maybe homemade or handmade items? See what she has to say as Christmas is fast approaching.

360 Response: Why Do We Praise Workaholics?

Why do we not put workaholism in the same category as the other isms? Is it not just as destructive? I'm going in on this topic of overwork and praising people for doing so.

Do you work non-stop? Does this inflict issues upon your home and family life? You may not be alone. Stop over to watch this video by @humanearl and see how being a workaholic can be... good? Or bad?

A Conversation With A Tree

I spoke with a tree today.
I am experiencing a transformative time in my personal life. I have been feeling a lot of things. There are several things that I thought I knew about myself that I find myself questioning, now. One of those things (though not nearly the foremost) is my previous disdain for the outdoors

@lemony-cricket has been going through a lot in their life and has been having difficulty sorting it all out. So taking advice from a person they know, he talked to a tree to help get things back in order. Talked to a tree, you ask? YES! See what happened!

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username	You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail

	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
