Q: I haven’t used dry spray shampoos in many years. I remember that they worked pretty well, but they also left a lot of powder in my hair. I’ve heard good things about one called Klorane with oat milk, but have not been able to find it in any local drugstores. Can you help me locate this item, please? I’d like to give dry shampoos another try. Thank you. — Billie Fields, Atlanta
A: This dry shampoo uses corn and rice starches to absorb excess oils in all hair types. Klorane dry shampoo with oat milk comes in a 3.5-ounce spray and is available for $20 at Sephora, 3393 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-816-0123.
Q: I’m very sensitive to the alcohol in most mouthwashes and it was suggested that I try a brand called CloSYS. I’d like to find the rinse and the toothpaste, if possible. Thank you. — F. Donner, Dunwoody
A: CloSYS products are formulated to not burn, irritate or stain. They’re free of alcohol, triclosan, sulfate and gluten. You can find the fluoride toothpaste in the clean mint flavor in 7-ounce tubes, and the unflavored, alcohol-free oral health care rinse in 16-ounce bottles at the Harmon drugstore section of Bed, Bath and Beyond, 130 Perimeter Center W, Atlanta, 770-673-0171. Both sell for $9.99 each.
Q: My aunt makes this wonderful rice suggested by a neighbor who is Iranian. The brand is Zebra. It cooks quickly and is very fluffy. Any way this can be purchased in the Kennesaw/Acworth area? I’ve seen it online but it’s very expensive to ship. Thanks. — Robin Kinley, email
A: Zebra basmati is a long-grain, aromatic rice that’s available at Mid East Market, 1255 Grimes Bridge Road, Roswell, 770-545-8787. The rice is available in either the white cloth 10-pound bag for $14 or a 10-pound plastic bag for $11.
Q: I have looked everywhere for Atkinson’s peanut butter bars. They used to come in 4-ounce bags. I would be so grateful if you could help me find this candy. Thank you very much. — Nancy Shores, Decatur
A: These old-time crunchy candies with the soft peanut butter center are available at most Dollar General stores. I found several bags, which now weigh in at 5 1/2 ounces, for $1 each at Dollar General, 3900 Glenwood Road, Decatur, 404-284-0424.
