BeThree (http://www.bethree.com/), an edgy online natural health and lifestyle media outlet just unveiled its shiny new website. Designed for women ages 18 to 35, BeThree (Be Healthy. Be Hip. Be You.) focuses on delivering the uncut truth on health, wellbeing, nutrition, fitness, beauty and life coaching -- and delivers it all in fresh, saucy daily stories.
The website, developed by writer, former professional athlete and all-around health advocate, Lindsay Yaw (http://www.bethree.com/main/do/Lindsay_Yaw), now features a short and sweet daily e-newsletter, an online shop featuring sweet deals on
the latest must-haves such as soy candles and yoga gear, as well as a personalized virtual escape where hip and health-conscious women can share their favorite tips and tricks for living
healthy.
BeThree daily articles hit all the hot topics -- from what's really in that Red Bull (search the article archives (http://www.bethree.com/main/do/Lifestyle_and_Trends_detail/id/169) to find out -- it's gross) to why text messaging
is good for your health. The site also features plenty of fabulous healthy recipes and fitness tips from the insiders who have tried it all (if you want to know what it's really like to
do a cleanse, ask BeThree's Lab Lass )
The best part BeThree delivers all of this important info via information channels modern women are already familiar with (like a traditional blog and archives, a daily e-newsletter,
widgets, a Facebook application -- BeThree is even on Twitter!)
"I wanted to create an online destination that answers relevant questions women really have, like how to reasonably deal with clutter or get over a fear of hot yoga -- delivered straight
to their inbox, Facebook page or Twitter feed," said Yaw. "BeThree is fun and fearless. We're not afraid to test out the latest health fads to deliver our readers the real scoop."
Through years of research, Yaw discovered that wellness-minded women ages 18 to 35 were dissatisfied with current health plan options and preventative natural health resources. U.S.
healthcare costs doubled from 1990 to 2001 and are projected to double again by 2012. These spikes in healthcare costs have caused 30% of women in this age group to be uninsured.
"This research told me there was a huge need for relevant, timely information to help women take charge of their own health," said Yaw. "That's the core of BeThree -- to bring wellbeing
in a conversational voice to a generation that's been overlooked in the wellness movement. We just like to have a little fun while doing it so it's more easily adaptable into every moment
of a woman's life."
Since its early days as a basic blog in 2007, BeThree has become a daily ritual for thousands of subscribers. Yaw and her team hope BeThree's shiny new site will attract more readers
looking for the latest and hippest wellness trends and natural health and lifestyle tips.
