​A Letter To The Guy Who Thinks I Am 'False Advertising'

Makeup is false advertising? I didn't realize I was a product because I'm not selling myself to you.

​A Letter To The Guy Who Thinks I Am 'False Advertising'
Dani Macalino

Dear man I do not know,

Thank you for your input on my product, but I am actually not for sale. In fact, I am not a product that is being advertised, I am a human being. A human being who is currently trying to do my job. I apologize for the inconvenience and the confusion.

Actually, I do not apologize at all. In what case is it OK for a person to assume a normal human who is just trying to work is a product being advertised? And why does it matter to you that my face looked different yesterday when I sold you your ice cream? Is there a problem with your ice cream based on the color of my lips and eyelids? Either way it is made with a smile and my service is polite. So why is it necessary to comment on my so-called “false advertising?” Yes I do in fact look quite different with makeup on compared to myself without makeup. I will admit to that. I also will admit that most of my photos on the Internet are in fact with me makeup on. But sir, what you do not know is a half hour ago I was teaching swimming lessons at a beach. Because of that I did not have time to put makeup on and I do look different.

That does not give you the right to point out that I was false advertising yesterday when I did wear makeup. Yesterday I was not a product for sale with your ice cream and today I am not either, although you no longer seem to be interested. Now let's say if I was a doughnut over in the case with Oreo crumbs on top and had a label saying Oreo doughnut, but ended up being filled with jelly and dirt on top; then I would have falsely advertised. But I am in fact not covered in frosting, have a label or a price.

I have had multiple customers say, “Oh! You look different today!” This is an appropriate comment to make, because I do in fact look different. There are many different ways that you can bring up the fact that I do not have makeup on. But to say that I am falsely advertising because I look different is not OK. I am not a product to be advertised and I am not able to bought.

From,

A girl who is done with your ignorance

P.S. I personally believe that I am beautiful with or without makeup. It has taken me many years to have this belief and you saying things like this are the reason women do not believe they are beautiful without makeup.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
