Hi Flowerseverywhere! There is nothing about politics or protest on my part here - I just happen to like two varieties of Caprice Shampoo (Herbal and Apple) and also Freska-Ra toothpaste from Mexico. I also buy all my bee pollen and valerian root capsules in Mexico (much cheaper across the border) and I used to buy all my soap in Mexico but now I actually pay more for soap in the US, believe it or not - I know someone in the 85006 who makes soap as a side business and I want to support them in their entrepreneurship so I buy their spendier soap on this side of the border.
When I mop the floors at the house or clean the bathroom - I used Mexican made cleaners such as Pinalen or Pinol or Flash - I buy these in the US and they are still cheaper than US products and work just as well. The hair gel I use on days I work is also from Mexico - cheaper than similar in the US and it smells really nice. The brand I use is EGO - interesting name, no? It is male oriented brand - they make shampoo too. Rob
PS.....I came back to add that Mexico is a great place to stock up on toothbrushes - I paid .38 per toothbrush the last time I bought toothbrushes down there, and these were actually imported from Chile (the brand is Fasa) and not Mexican made.
