Hello and welcome! I’m Tamae Elizabeth—a dog and cat mom, environmentalist, functional nutrition enthusiast, and advocate for sustainable and non-toxic living. I eat as vegan as possible, not only for the environment but also for the welfare and rights of animals. I do not support the abuse of animals in factory farms, for fur, or in entertainment industries like circuses. My focus is on making conscious choices that benefit both the planet and the welfare of all living beings.🌿
I started Consciously Chic Living after watching the documentary Cowspiracy, which profoundly changed how I see the world. It revealed how our daily choices—what we eat, drink, and buy—not only harm the environment but also cause unimaginable suffering to innocent animals. 🐄
Since childhood, I’ve loved animals and found solace in the beauty of nature. That passion inspired me to create a platform where I can share ways to live a more intentional, conscious life. 🙏🏼
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

I believe in the power of a plant-based diet to heal the body and the planet, but I also believe in balance and transparency. I’m not a perfect vegan—I occasionally splurge on some dairy or seafood. My focus is on trying my hardest, because every step toward reducing the consumption of animal products makes a difference for the animals, the environment, and our health. 🌎
Similarly, I still own leather shoes and purses from years ago, before I committed to living as vegan as possible. These are high-quality pieces that I’ve kept for decades, and I continue to use them because part of being sustainable is making the most of what you already have. While I aim to avoid buying new leather products, I believe in using what I own until it’s no longer usable—because imperfect steps still count toward progress.
Beyond sustainability, I’m passionate about non-toxic living. From cleaning products to skincare, makeup, and toothpaste, I aim to use and recommend products that are free of harmful toxins to protect not just our bodies, but also the planet.
Consciously Chic Living is here as a resource to help you live a healthier, kinder, and more eco-friendly and toxin free life. You don’t need to be a strict vegan or environmentalist to find inspiration here—this is a space for everyone, no judgment, no preaching, just small steps toward a happier, healthier, and consciously chic lifestyle.
