Q: Can you locate a shampoo for me, please? It’s called Perfect Hair Day. I don’t know who makes it and I’m not very good on the computer, so I would like to find it locally, if that’s possible. I have oily hair and I heard that this was a good product for those of us who have to wash our hair daily. Thank you. — Helen Carter, Atlanta

Q: After reading some recent health articles, I’ve been looking for CocoaVia cocoa supplement products. They are available through Internet suppliers, but I haven’t found them locally.

Q: I love creme brulee, and my wife used to make it with Dr. Oetker Creme Brulee mix. We used to get it at the local Kroger in Alpharetta, but they no longer carry it. I recently ordered it from Amazon, so I know it is still being produced. It’s quite expensive on Amazon though. I was hoping you knew where we could find it locally. Thank you so much. — Vijay Desai, email
