Aubrey O'Day's pooch, Ginger, has a full event calender -- in fact that puppy's social life is probably way more happening than ours or yours! The lead singer of Danity Kane doesn't go anywhere without her dog -- including to nightclubs, fashion shows and red carpet events. Yet, she still gets mad when people compare her to Paris Hilton.

The sunny tartness of lemonade is a summer time favorite, plus it's fun and easy to make. Some lemons, some sugar, ice, a glass and you're in business. The non-carbonated kind we drink here is a particularly American version, and it's a part of many family traditions, sipped on the porch after supper and sold from countless lemonade stands in suburban driveways.

Part of the fun of lemonade is it's versatility. You can add other fruits, like ripe raspberries, for a juicy hybrid surprise, or a garnish of mint to make it a garden party. And for those over twenty-one out there, well you probably already know how well vodka fortifies a tall glass of citrus goodness. Ginger, pink and strawberry lemonade are all someone's favorite.

There are some quick and easy ways to dress up your lemonade and make every pitcher a party. Check out our tips in the gallery.

Ginger ale, ginger cookies, ginger Altoids, ginger hand-santizer, ginger perfume -- if it can made with the fragrant, flavorful root, I'm into it.

My most recent ginger find is Ginger Chews from the ginger people. Like the Jujyfruits of your childhood trip to the movie theater with mom and dad, Gingers Chews have the absolutely jaw-exhausting consistency that makes you half-worried that you will pull your teeth out and half-amused by the comical amount of chewing it takes to get through a single piece of candy. Well-balanced and stimulating, Ginger Chews are playful candy fun for all-grown-up adult palates.

Next to my keyboard sits a tin of Callard & Bowser's Ginger Altoids. In the last hour alone, I've chomped through at least a dozen of the curiously strong lozenges. Even though I feel REALLY awake, I'm also hankering for other things ginger, such as a ginger perfume.

Jo Malone, for instance, sells a classic nutmeg and ginger cologne that has been part of her perfume collection since her humble beginnings as an independent aesthetician. The warm, woody scents of sandalwood and cedarwood are blended with the fragrance of nutmeg and ginger for dynamic but delicious cologne that would surely satisfy my ginger tooth without making me smell like a jar of ginger in a sushi restaurant.
