October has come to an end and it’s time for my monthly roundup of favourite blog posts from last month. Thanks to Blogtober, the blogging community put out a lot of content in October. I thought we could all use a break from reading about Halloween, fall activities, and horror films, so I’ve chosen 6 outstanding October blog posts that focus on other topics.
This monthly roundup is my way of saying thank you to the blogging community, and highlighting some of my favourite bloggers who regularly put out funny, inspiring and informative content.
Please take a few minutes to read these posts. I’m sure you’ll love them. While you’re there, explore some of the other content from these bloggers and give them a follow.
Coming up on Boomer Eco Crusader in November
November is Financial Literacy Month in Canada. Along with my regular content and decluttering challenge update posts, I’ll be posting some financial content. Stay tuned for my thoughts on F.I.R.E., the high cost of housing, and Black Friday.

It’s not all men? No, but it’s too many men! – The Doubting Thomas
Violence against women is too common in our world. In this thought-provoking post, Tom reacts to the phrase “It’s not all men”.
As individual men, we unfortunately cannot fix what is going down on a wider scale, but we have a duty of care to show respect to the women in our lives and ensure our sons, nephews, cousins etc. all do the same.

How being eco-friendly can save you money – Enviroline Blog
It’s a common misconception that living a greener life is expensive. In this post, Caroline busts that myth with some common sense tips on how being eco-friendly can save money.
Personally, I think that a zero-waste lifestyle is impossible and creates the false idea that you have to be perfect to be eco-friendly. You definitely don’t, any action will help!

Successful people are not perfectionists – Weird Lifestyle
Here’s a new face in my monthly roundup. We often think of perfection as a good thing but it has a dark side. As a reformed perfectionist, I found so much truth and wisdom in this post.
To succeed in something means that you allow yourself to be wrong, to make lots of mistakes, to fail over and over again, to look ridiculous, and be laughed at. In other words, all those things that are not acceptable for a perfectionist.
