From working in the fashion industry in New York for many years, I was inspired to create a platform where members of the Conscious &amp; Chic community could not only find the tools they needed to journey towards a sustainable lifestyle but also shine by sharing their own content. Check out the #ConsciousNChic hashtag on Instagram! You can connect with me on social media @ConsciousNChic and @KathleenElie.
