Contest: What's your "theme" song and why?

Hey Everyone!

Do you ever listen to the lyrics in a song and think man, that is me 100%. Well, I have a theme song just about every week, lol. Right now mine is "Pieces of Me" by Ledisi, simply because I know I'm complicated, I have good days and bad, you have to roll with me to understand the pieces of me.


I haven't had a contest in a while so I thought why not have one now, just because. So what I need you to do is tell me what is your current "theme" song and why. You can be funny, philosophical, spirit filled, whatever, just be creative in picking your theme song and the reason why you chose it. I think this will be fun so make sure you follow me on twitter @candycoatedbags and check in with me on facebook at CCBags to check out who's got the best theme song! The contest will run from Sunday June 12th through Saturday June 18th. Winner will be chosen on Sunday June 19th. 


The prize: The winner will receive a Candy Coated Bag and a $10 gift card to Target!!! 

 

To be eligible to win, you must:

1. Tell me your Theme Song and why, make it good and creative!
2. Follow me on Twitter @candycoatedbags and Retweet this blog post!
3. Sign up to have "Be Candy Coated" delivered to your inbox!

     Optional additional entries:

Contest will run starting Sunday June 12 and ends on Saturday June 18th, winner will be chosen on June 19th, so go ahead and tell me WHAT'S YOUR THEME SONG?

And the Winner is....

I wanted to do things fair and square to give everyone that followed me on Twitter and commented on the "Twitter Contest" post a chance to win a new Candy Coated Bag! I went to random.org to help pick a lucky follower. To meet qualifications, the lucky follower also had to retweet the tagline and comment on the blog post as well. So the lucky Candy Coated winner is:

Kristy or @MyBelovedLife
