Happy Birthday Liz!

Today is Liz Gillies' birthday! Can you believe it?! The talented Jade from Victorious is growing up before our very eyes. Sniffles! But before we go getting all sentimental, we wanted to share the top five reasons we love this beautiful brunette in honor of her special day. Check it out!

Reason #1: She's a healthy role model! Liz is gluten-free and vegan, so she knows how to make snacks delicious and nutritious. We wonder what she's got planned for her bday cake!

Reason #2: She writes music! Not only is she talented on the tube, she's a regular rock star and isn't afraid to let everyone know it. She chirped, "Writing... This song is really cool."

Reason #3: She lends her voice to the Winx Club! We love that Liz is able to share her magical voice in so many fun ways.

Reason #4: She was an actress on Broadway! This daring diva took a leap of faith and tried out for the musical, 13. And guess what? She got the part! Liz is an awesome example that if you follow your dreams and work hard, you can achieve anything.

Reason #5: Liz used to have stage fright! Looking at the confident Liz Gillies we know now, it's hard to believe she ever got nervous. If she can conquer her fears, so can the rest of us. Way to go, Liz!

Another year older means another year wiser, so we know Liz will only bring us even more reasons to heart her in the future. Happy Birthday Liz!
