A Birthday Rooted in Heritage, Health & Community

A Birthday Rooted in Heritage, Health & Community

This week, we officially celebrate 4 years of Bood! Before we begin the celebrations, we wanted to pause and say a huge thank you. 

Bood didn’t start as a trend or a quick business idea. It started with family, heritage, and a deep respect for natural wellness. 

Our story begins on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia - where our grandparents met, raised a family, and built a life grounded in hard work, community, and the land. For generations, food and natural remedies weren’t a “health choice” - they were simply part of everyday life. 

In 2020, after losing our grandmother Grace, we returned to St Lucia as a family. During that time, we kept coming back to conversations about health, longevity, and the women in our family who lived long, full lives. One thing linked them all: sea moss, something that had been part of our culture long before it became popular. 

We brought that knowledge back to London with us, along with a small bag of sea moss and a big intention: to create a brand that honours where we come from while supporting modern, everyday wellbeing. 

Four years on, Bood has grown into something far bigger than we imagined and that’s entirely because of you. 

To everyone who has ordered, subscribed, shared our story, sent a kind message, recommended us to a friend, or supported us quietly from afar - thank you. You’re not just customers to us. You’re part of the Bood community, and we don’t take that lightly. 

This birthday week is about celebrating our journey so far: the roots, the growth, and the people who’ve been with us along the way. 

And while we’re not giving too much away just yet… 👀 

Keep an eye out this weekend (from 30 January) for a little birthday treat from us to say thank you. 

Here’s to 4 years of Bood - and to everything still to come 💚
