Neha Kusum Purohit

Location: Scottsdale, Arizona

Bio: Neha raises awareness around sustainable fashion. She launched the AZ Sustainable Fashion Group in 2019, is the Southwest Coordinator for the nonprofit Fashion Revolution, is an Ambassador for Remake Scottsdale, and is a contributor to the Education Priority for the Arizona Sustainability Alliance.

Poshmark: Poshmark is the go-to market for shopping other people's closets and finding pre-loved items. A couple of my favorite purchases: a replacement for a watch I'd lost and a t-shirt that said, “Who made my clothes?”

Good on You: This rating app for fashion brands based on ethical and sustainable practices has been endorsed by Emma Watson. Whether I'm shopping second-hand or firsthand, I use this app to check on the integrity of the brand.

Philips Hue: I use this app to control lights in my home. I have smart lights from Philips Hue in my bedroom and kitchen, which I can turn on from work or from another room in the house.

Kasa Smart: This smart home app lets me turn a couple of smart plugs in my house on and off on a schedule. I am excited about the possibilities.

Amazon Alexa: Alexa can turn my smart lights on and off on command and tell me when my packages from Amazon are delivered. Amazon's assistant can even read my Kindle books, something my iPhone can't do on its own.

Forest: A lifestyle coach suggested Forest to me; it encourages you to stay focused and be present. The app works with an organization called Trees for the Future and inspires people to curtail phone usage by planting trees in the app as well as in reality.

Ayurvedic Diet: Thanks to this app, all the recipes sorted by Ayurvedic body types are on my phone, just the kind of convenience I desire. My favorite are the breakfast recipes and snacks.

Bellabeat: Health Coach: This app works with Bellabeat's smart jewelry. It's my go-to app to keep track of my general wellbeing, including my sleep, water intake, exercise, meditation, and monthly cycle.
