Let’s face the music and bon pom!

New: BonPom FAQs

In the face of ever-increasing economic and environmental challenges, we can all find our stress levels rising and all the fun disappearing from our lives.

One group fighting this vicious circle of anxiety and negativity is Bon Pom – a social movement with an emphasis on self-help, positivity and vitality.

The brainchild of ex-Gillian McKeith employees Alan Martin and Rob Steidle, Bon Pom’s key message is “help yourself”, with a double meaning. It recommends we help ourselves by taking control of our lives, and also helping ourselves to their fast growing collection of on-line resources for healthy and positive living.

“If uplifting and inspiring self-help books, podcasts, blogs, videos and events are your thing, you’ll find loads on our site, with new additions weekly, and lots of like-minded folks to make friends with in these challenging times,” says Rob.

We’re in no way trying to deny the serious issues facing everyone right now adds Rob, “We simply feel positivity and self-empowerment within a supportive community is the way forward and through difficult times.”

“So many of us are seeking a simpler, healthier and more spiritually fruitful lifestyle, but we're unlikely to get there by becoming more stressed, separated and anxious.”

Whilst most people’s idea of healthier living means abstinence and misery, Bon Pom firmly believe that a little of what you fancy does you good.

“Organic horse-hair shirts, raw lentils and two gallons of water a day is not our idea of fun,” says Alan. “Healthy, positive living can most definitely be tasty, fun and sexy! It's more like rocket salad than rocket science.”

“I really like the Bon Pom ethic,” says Carl Munson, a Devon-based member of the movement’s on-line site bonpom.com. “Their hybrid of hedonism and holism appeals to me and the chance to meet similarly-minded members on-line is a real bonus”.

A range of exclusive Bon Pom products is set to follow which will, largely, be determined by the movement’s members; the first, a health and beauty range that’ll be good enough to eat.

“Imagine if you had access to not only the buyers, but also the product development team of your favourite shop,” enthuses Alan. “Bon Pom’s products will be created by our community for our community.”
