H! I'm Canda, welcome to GlamRiver! I'm a forty-something blogger from sunny Central Oregon.

*Retractable, Adjustable Heavy Duty Dog Leash by Longfit
I will be the first to admit that I am one of those dog owners that isn't the best at disciplining my dogs. BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE, I just can't get mad at them.... :) Since I'm not good at disciplining them that means they usually like to take me for a walk vs. me walking them, lol. However, I have found when I shorten their leashes they don't pull as much! That's where this Retractable, Adjustable Heavy Duty Dog Leash by Longfit comes in.
The retractable leash allows us to have more control over our crazy dogs. It also stands up to their powerful pulls. We have a Chocolate Lab and a Pit Bull so that should tell you how tough this leash is! I also love that it has a super comfy handle which makes it even easier to handle the dogs when they pull.
If your in the market for a new leash this one is definitely worth checking out!!
You can find this Retractable, Adjustable Heavy Duty Dog Leash by Longfit over on Amazon.com...

I love it when my favorite skincare brands have mini versions of their products! For me it means I get to take my go-to skincare with me when I travel. It also means I get the chance to try out new products without committing to a full-size! That being said, I have yet to try an Exuviance product that I didn't ended up loving!
If you've been wanting to try some of the amazing anti-aging products from Exuviance then the Age Reverse Collection is the perfect option! The Age Reverse Collection by Exuviance includes BioActiv Wash 1.3 fl oz, Day Repair SPF 30, 0.5 oz, Eye Contour 0.35 oz and Night Lift 0.5 oz. Everything you need to turn back the hands of time. The products in this collection will diminish fine lines and wrinkles, evens out skin tone and texture and also restores firmness and elasticity.
The BioActiv Wash is a foaming, soap free cleanser that exfoliates and helps even out skin texture and tone while leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed.
The Day Repair SPF 30 blocks the harmful UVA/UVB rays while reversing the signs of aging at the same time. It's a moisturizer and sunscreen all in one!
The Eye Contour helps reverse signs of aging around the eyes including sagging skin, crows feet, dark circles and fine lines and wrinkles. It also depuffs and soothes leaving you feeling refreshed. The Age Reverse Eye Contour is one of my all time favorite eye creams!
This Age Reverse Collection is a $109.00 value for only $80.00 and contains has everything you need to get you on your way to the new younger looking you!
Exuviance has you covered day and night! For the daytime all you need is their moisturizer that doubles as a sunscreen! This Exuviance Age Reverse Day Repair SPF 30 (also included in the Age Reverse Collection) contains potent ingredients of Peptides, Retinol and NeoGlucosamine that help firm and plump the skin while smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. You will also see a reduction of hyperpigmentation and skin will look more youthful and radiant. At the same time you get the SPF 30 to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the UVA/UVB rays which can drastically age skin.
This is a lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. It also wears really well under makeup! It's one of those products that you'll enjoy using because you know it's working hard all day to protect and revitalize your skin!
The Day Repair SPF 30 retails for $75.00 for 1.75 oz.
For night time it's the Super Retinol Concentrate! If your serious about looking years younger then you need this product in your life. The Super Retinol Concentrate contains 1% Retinol and other special anti-aging ingredients to drastically improve skin. You will notice that it helps to firm and lift, diminish the look of wrinkles, even out skin tone and give skin a more smooth and radiant appearance. I have some pretty intense Melasma on my upper chest area and I have been really diligent about using this every night and I am beyond impressed with my results! Not only is my skin more even toned but my skin texture is firmer, softer and smoother as well. I love this stuff!
It's always important to wear sunscreen everyday but it's even more important when you're using a Retinol product. Retinol can make skin extra sensitive to the sun's harmful rays and that's why this Super Retinol Concentrate is perfectly paired with the Day Repair SPF 30!
If you could only choose a couple of products to spend your hard earned money on I would definitely choose the Age Reverse Day Repair SPF 30 & Super Retinol Concentrate. With these two products you will know your skin is being taken care of 24/7 and that they are working hard to reverse the signs of aging and helping to keep you looking like a younger version of yourself!
I have tried countless skincare products and Exuviance has never let me down. I have had fantastic results with every product I've ever tried and I cannot recommend them enough!

I don't know about your furbabies but mine are kinda ruff...I mean rough...on their collars. I usually end up getting mine a new one every year and I'm always on the lookout for new designs and colors. For my silver Pitbull, Karley, I always look for something with pink because it looks so cute with her silver fur. For our Chocolate Lab, Kramer, I usually look for something more along the lines of Camo!
I was so excited that PetTastic offered to send me this adorable Pink collar for Karley! You can find it on Amazon and it is by far my favorite collar that I have ever had for Karley. The various shades of Pink, Silver and hints of blue look so beautiful next to her silver fur. I also like that this collar is a little wider than any of the other collars that I have ever purchased for her. It's like this collar was just meant for my sweet nugget!
I purchased a size Large for Karley since she's a Pitbull and she has a wider neck. The Large size fits a neck of length 18"-26", size Medium will fit neck length 14.5"-20" and the size small will fit a neck length 12"-16". The collars are made with neoprene lining and a printed polyester webbing layer. It also has eco-friendly plastic buckles, chrome coated metal leash ring and specialized tag loop.
Hopefully you can tell by the pictures how well made this collar is and how cute it looks on my furbaby! I highly recommend this collar! I especially love that it's only $12.95 and I will definitely re-purchase!
Head over to Amazon and get a cute new collar for your furbaby!!

So, I realize that a headlamp might be an odd thing for me to be talking about on my blog. However, not only am I into beauty and skincare but if you follow my Instagram page then you also know that I am also a huge outdoor enthusiast. So really a headlamp is right up my alley!
I love camping and hiking so a headlamp is a necessity as far as I'm concerned. My favorite way to use a headlamp for camping is when you have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. It's perfect because it enables you to be hands free and it gives off just the right amount of light. For hiking it's great to have for those extra long hikes that may run into the evening and it's great to have for safety reasons.
This is great quality headlamp and a great deal at only $8.99! It offers five different light modes which include CREE Light, High- Low-Strobe, Red Light for constant mode and a flashing SOS mode. It's also very lightweight, comfortable to wear and it's IPX4 water resistant!

If you've followed my blog for any length of time then you already know that I'm a bit obsessed with Masks. Masks of all kinds...clay, sheet, foam..you name it, I've probably tried it and liked it! I think Masks are the best way to see a noticeable improvement in your skin in a short amount of time.
One brand of masks that I've been using for years is Neutrogena and I'm pretty sure I've used every one they have ever made and I've loved them all.
Recently, Neutrogena has jumped on the Sheet Mask wagon and developed their own line of amazing Hydrogel sheet masks that include a Hydro Boost Hydrating Mask, Radiance Boost Brightening Mask and a Deep Clean® Purifying Mask. The masks are made from seaweed extract and other potent skin loving ingredients and they contain a bottle's worth of serum in each mask! That translates to some serious and intense hydration and amazingly soft and supple skin.
These Hydrogel sheet masks are the prefect way to sit back, relax and take some much needed "me" time. They are especially great after a day on the water or after a weekend of camping for a quick way to rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin after some fun in the sun!
Neutrogena also came out with a couple other mask options with their new Single-Use Mask Shots. The super convenient Mask Shots include the Hydro Boost Hydrating Overnight Gel Mask which is a lovely gel cream that delivers deep and intense moisture to dry and dehydrated skin. Then the Deep Clean® Purifying Wash-Off Clay Mask helps draw out dirt, oil and other impurities from deep within pores and leaves skin feeling extra clean but also soft and hydrated.
When I think of Neutrogena I think of fresh, healthy and radiant looking skin and these new masks help you achieve just that after just one use!
I did receive this product complimentary from Neutrogena in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. I will only recommend products or services that I enjoy using personally and that I think my readers would enjoy also. All opinions are my own.

I am a firm believer in Microneedling and it's definitely part of my skincare routine. I like to try and do Microneedling every few weeks or so or at least once a month. If you do it right and follow up with the right products you could literally see results overnight.
If you're new to Microneedling this Titanium 0.25mm Microneedle Derma Roller by Endim is a great one to start with. It's gentle but effective. The tiny little microneedles penetrate the skin and help promote the production of collagen which means it can help with scaring, pigementation, fine lines and wrinkles and more.
To help maximize your results you should always follow up with a nice quality serum like the one included with this Derma Roller. Hyaluronic Acid Serum will help boost the moisture in your skin, promote healing and reduce inflammation so it's a great serum to use immediately after Microneedling. However, I also highly recommend you follow the Hyaluronic Acid Serum with a good quality facial oil like Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate or Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil.
I promise one you start Microneedling and see the results for yourself you will never want to stop!

I am so excited to be making another appearance on the "Afternoon Live" show on Friday June, 22, 2018 and I will be sharing my Summer Skincare Must Haves so join me on "Afternoon Live" on KATU Portland, Oregon!
We all know that sun damage is a leading cause of premature aging so incorporating sun protection into your daily skincare routine is essential and adding a few extra steps during the summer is imperative. Thankfully, SPF has come a long way and there are some really great beauty & skincare products on the market that go beyond just foundation with SPF and help take sun protection to the next level and these are some of my favorites...
This Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research is definitely not your everyday sticky, greasy sunscreen. This sunscreen is more reminiscent of a nice face cream than a sunscreen.
It provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, it's hydrating but incredibly lightweight, absorbs quickly and it even helps control oil. It also wears nicely under makeup, is water resistant up to 80 minutes and contains antioxidants to help fight the effects of free radicals and slow the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's by far my favorite sunscreen for the face and I highly recommend it! It's amazing :)
Ideal for all skin types this Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research retails for $51.00 for 2 oz. and you can find it at dermstore.com.
More and more makeup companies are offering SPF options and this Perfect Color Blush SPF 21 by Illuminare is a great choice for a blush. It's oil free, cream based and formulated with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide to block UV rays and with antioxidants to combat environmental pollutants. There are four color options to choose from... Amalfi Alabaster, Portofino Porcelain, Florentine Fair and Sienna Sun. The colors are very blendable and buildable so you can customize how intense you want the color to be and you can even mix colors together and create your own personalized color! My color choice is the Florentine Fair and I only need a little dot on each cheek for a nice, full wash of color that lasts all day long!
Ideal for all skin types this Perfect Color Blush SPF 21 by Illuminare retails for $18.00 for 0.25 oz and you can find it at dermstore.com.
When it comes to Lip Balms with SPF there are actually quite a few out there but the trendy and innovative brand, Coola, offers the best selection. Their Mineral Liplux® SPF 30 Organic Tinted Lip Balm is made with more than 70% natural ingredients and contains Organic Cupuacu Butter and Mongongo Oil. Thanks to the Cupuacu Butter and Mongongo Oil these Lip Balms are creamy, deeply hydrating. With six different color options these tinted lip balms add a subtle hint of color while providing lips with the nourishment and protection they need. My favorite color is Summer Crush which looks like my natural lip color...only better!
The Mineral Liplux® SPF 30 Organic Tinted Lip Balm retails for $18.00 for 0.15 oz. and can be found at Coola.com, dermstore.com, Ulta Beauty and more!
For quick and easy SPF this transparent Mineral SPF 30 Brush-On Sun Defense by Mineral Fusion is just what you need. This is the perfect sunscreen to keep in your handbag for on-the-go application. It works well on all skin tones and types and it blends seamlessly into skin and over makeup. For best results, reapply every two hours.
The Mineral SPF 30 Brush-On Sun Defense by Mineral Fusion retails for $24.99 for 0.14 oz. and can be found at mineralfusion.com, dermstore.com and can even be found at Whole Foods!
This is probably my overall favorite sunscreen product! This is so much more than sunscreen. It's actually a three-in-one weightless mist that sets makeup, helps control oil and shine and provides SPF 50! The unique formula is water and sweat resistant, leaves skin feeling soft and smooth and will keep makeup in place even in high humidity. For best results and to keep makeup looking fresh reapply throughout the day.
Suitable for all skin types this Defense Refresh Setting Mist Broad Spectrum SPF 50 by Supergoop is a vacation must have and retails for $28.00 for 3.4 oz. It can be found on supergoop.com, sephora.com and more!
Hopefully you will be inspired to try out at least one or maybe all of these Summer Skincare Must Haves! If you do I would love to hear about it! Just leave a comment down below...
Have a great Summer!
