The fashion buzz this season is color, color and more color. We normal, everyday people are tired of the economy and sick of the drama. We want some excitement in our lives.

The fashion houses of the world are once again here to help. Toss the khaki, kill the black, and wash the whites.  Colorful fashion is rising again. Think seventies prints, bohemian, plaids, colored coats and jewelry for days.

I even heard that Karl Lagerfeld (the designer for Chanel) got a colorful fan. At least if he overheats, he’ll cool down in style.

Summer brings with it trips to the beach, barbecues, convertibles and outdoor adventures. Before we start to talk summer fashion trends, blitz your cold sore blues — and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Now let’s help you find the perfect swimsuit.

Swimming attire is a difficult fit. Why? The honest answer is bodies come in all shapes and sizes, swimsuits mean more skin and the possibility of revealing your imperfections. This is difficult for almost anyone. The main goal is to find something that covers the right spots and flaunts the rest.

Drama is the conventional string that takes us from one point of stress to another. I love the Mary J. Blige song “No More Drama”. Girl tells it like it is. We don’t need anymore drama in our lives. This song is truly an inspiration. I am no doctor, therapist or genius, but I know that drama and stress is no good for the body and mind. I am a human being, I can be moody. I can be unkind and Lord knows I have been known to be a Duh-Rama Queen. I know most of you can relate to this. So, the question is… where does drama take us?

When a cold sore has got you down, I say get out of town. Sure, your sores will go with you wherever you go until you heal, but there’s something to be said about the anonymity of a new place with new people. As they say in wardrobe, one size DOES NOT fit all, so I’m giving you a diverse list of 10 getaway options to satisfy the speed and adventure of almost anyone.

1. Family Tradition

You grew up going to The Cabin. It is a tradition that’s comforting yet gets you away from the humdrum of everyday life. Relax and hide away in your cozy familiar retreat during a cold sore outbreak.

The best accessory to reflect your style, personality or mood is a pair of shades. The right pair of shades can dress up, ooze casualty or bring on the glam factor. It is an affordable accessory that any girl can splurge on. And be honest, you probably have a collection of sunglasses because like your favorite purse, you need different styles to reflect different aspects of YOU. Especially when you’re suffering through a hellacious cold sore outbreak! Nothing detracts from a horrendous cold sore like the latest trendsetter in outdoor eyewear! But like any other fashion accessory, there are a few rules you want to follow to achieve the look you’re going for.
