PS Contributor
Melissa Persling writes about mental health, beauty, and relationships. In addition to PS, her work has been featured in The Observer, Stylist UK, and Business Insider. She can often be found on the streets of Spokane, WA, wearing head-to-toe Lululemon and drinking ridiculously overpriced coffee blended with exotic nut milk. She never leaves home without her Daisy by Marc Jacobs rollerball perfume, Goop sunblock, and worn copy of "War and Peace." When feeling naughty, Melissa indulges in French cheese with maybe a glass (sometimes two!) of cabernet sauvignon.
