I've had vegan pizza and vegan lasagne. I wear vegan shoes and a belt. I've even got some amazing vegan music in my collection! But all I want for my next birthday ... is the same vegan carrot cake that P!nk got for her baby girl's first birthday party last week.

Look at that thing! It's making my mouth water.

P!nk is famous not just for her music and live shows, but also for her willingness to speak up for animals. She's supported campaigns against mulesing, fur, bullfighting and puppy mills. With all that action, it's no surprise that little Willow's first b'day cake was cruelty-free.

While a vegan b'day cake is a pretty sweet pressie just by itself, it's actually a gift that keeps on giving. As well as being 100% kind to animals, avoiding animal products at meal-time has all kinds of positive spin-offs for you. A study just published in the Medical Journal of Australia outlines all the benefits that going veg has. There's less chance of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and colorectal cancer. I particularly don't like the sound of that last one.

The study also found no noticeable difference in the growth of vegetarian kids compared to meat-eating kids, which doesn't surprise me one bit. Cough-Billy Simmonds-cough.

So happy birthday little Willow, hope you had a great day! And if there's any cake left over ... I'm on my way.

Unleashed recently had it's second birthday. To celebrate we've got some treats on the way for you :)

As Karen mentioned on the forum, we'll be giving Unleashed a makeover. Your ideas for the new look for Unleashed were great, and having seen a sneak peek of the new Unleashed I can tell it's hot!

But before we give the site a change of skin, we need your advice on one more thing. This year, we're not only going to give Unleashed a makeover, we're going to give you 3 wallpapers so that you can give your computer a makeover too!

So we need you to help to make the big decision. By now you've probably entered (and hopefully won) our monthly sticker give away. So you've probably worked out which of these 12 stickers is your fave. So tell us: Which of these stickers would you like to have as a wallpaper for your computer and why?

Then stay tuned... because the brand new look for Unleashed won't be long now ;)

The celebration was fun (and yummy!), the recruiting was done, and the T-shirts were won!

Thanks to everyone who took the opportunity to inspire and tell more people about Unleashed. We got lots of new supporters for our first birthday, all because of you! Thank YOU!

If only there was a free T for everyone who pitched in ... man, everyone would look so stylish ... Unfortunately there were only two to give away and the lucky winners are Tofu Ninja and Connors_mummy!

Check out Connors_mummy modelling her prize! Best looking life saver around!

If you missed out, don't despair! Unleashed is always on the lookout for freebies to give away to our animal loving friends. Check out our current Rise Against comp (closing soon!) and the 'Meat is for Pussies' comp.

And don't forget you can enter every month to win some free stickers that help get the cruelty free message out on your diary, your pencil case, your little brother ... wherever you see fit!

And if you simply can't live without one of the grooviest T-shirts around, you can just grab one from the Unleashed online shop!

We've since got our hands on girls' sizes in the Kicking Ass T too, cause we reckon girls are just as tough as guys (tougher even?)

How do you think we can top these celebrations when we turn 2?
