Ok, maybe not love your blisters…..that might be an impossible request. But at least appreciate the darn things because now they can win you some goods. 2 Toms, makers of Blister Shields, is hosting the Worst Blister Challenge. All entries receive a free sample of Blister Shield and the winner is awarded $150 care package of 2 Toms products. All you need to do with the nasty thing is take a photo and submit.
For details, rules, and the entry form, visit the 2 Toms facebook page.
