When it comes to creating a home that feels calm, intentional, and deeply inspiring, Dominique Ebra—known to her followers as @Consciously.Vegan—embodies it beautifully.

The vegan recipe creator and mindful living advocate brings a rare balance of compassion, creativity, and simplicity to everything she touches—from her vibrant plant-based dishes to her thoughtfully organized kitchen.

We sat down with Dominique to talk about how her vegan journey began, what makes her kitchen a sanctuary, and why Yamazaki Home designs have become her go-to for keeping her space as peaceful as her mindset.

Compassion at the Core

“For me, going vegan began with love for animals,” Dominique shares. “It’s always been at the heart of who I am.”

Over time, that compassion evolved into a full-circle approach to wellness—one that celebrates nourishment and simplicity. “As I grew, that love expanded into a focus on whole, plant-based foods that make me feel my best inside and out,” she says.

Dominique’s kitchen is an extension of that philosophy: uncluttered, light-filled, and grounded in mindful design.

Inside Dominique’s Vegan Kitchen

If you’ve ever seen Dominique’s cooking videos, you know her kitchen hums with calm energy. A few key staples always make an appearance—beans, tofu, nuts, seeds, tahini, nutritional yeast, and olive oil—ingredients that reflect her belief in keeping things simple, nourishing, and versatile.

When it comes to big cooking days like Thanksgiving, Dominique finds joy in creating plant-based versions of holiday classics. “My Wellington, hearty stuffing, and seasonal sides are always a hit," she says. “My family can’t believe they’re vegan—it’s so rewarding to see everyone enjoy the meal together.”

Creating Calm Through Organization

A big part of Dominique’s creative flow comes from her environment. “Yamazaki Home products make it easy to stay organized without sacrificing style,” she says. “Their clean, thoughtful designs add a calm, chic touch that makes cooking and serving seamless.” Among her favorites?

★ Tabletop Storage Caddy: “I use it daily—it’s perfect for bringing essentials to our community grilling space when we dine alfresco.”
★ Over-the-Sink Dish Drainer: “A sleek, minimalist design that saves space when I need it most.”
★ Concealable Spice Rack: “It keeps all my spices organized and right where I need them, with extra storage and a beautiful, discreet design.”

Dominique especially loves using the Spice Containers and Concealable Spice Rack together, calling them “a dream combo for staying tidy and inspired while cooking.”

A Day in the Life

“My ideal kitchen day starts with an iced oat milk coffee, followed by a fresh juice or protein shake—so even if things get busy, I’ve set a good foundation,” Dominique says. “I like to keep my space tidy with a clean-as-you-go approach, make the most of every corner, and fill it with fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers.”

It’s that blend of simplicity, wellness, and mindfulness that keeps her grounded. “Being surrounded by these natural touches makes cooking and creating feel calm, inspiring, and really lovely.”

Outside the kitchen, you’ll find Dominique on long walks with her fiancé and dogs, enjoying Pilates, or winding down in her infrared sauna—“mostly because it’s just so soothing,” she laughs.

Dominique’s Advice for a More Mindful Home

When asked who she’d recommend Yamazaki Home to, Dominique doesn’t hesitate: “Anyone who loves a home that’s stylish and functional, especially those in apartments or smaller spaces. Their minimalist, thoughtful designs make everyday life easier and bring a calm, organized, chic touch to any kitchen or living area.”

Whether she’s cooking a vegan feast or savoring a quiet morning coffee, Dominique’s home is a reflection of what happens when compassion meets design—proof that intentional living begins right where you are.
