One of the first videos I ever posted was about the best refried beans I had ever eaten at a restaurant. When a patron asked the cook “what spices did you use”, I overhead him simply say “salt”. It is completely underestimated how much this one simple ingredient can change any dish. HOWEVER – this ingredient can be even more magical if you use the RIGHT KIND of salt. I’ve used regular salt, pink himalayan salt, and sea salt (which I prefer). But there is a BIG DIFFERENCE with “Celtic Sea Salt”. It’s dried naturally in the sun and the wind and is healthier than table salt because of its 74 essential minerals and trace elements. It’s non-GMO, certified Kosher, lower in sodium, and paleo and Carnivore diet friendly. It adds a delicious and subtle flavor to any dish, and you should click here to read the 13,000+ almost 5-star reviews on Amazon!

These are my personal recommendations:
For multiple decades we used Comcast (Xfinity) in my house. They didn't even get Gig Internet until 2023 where I live. The service was throttled our streaming TV would buffer all the time. Then out of nowhere Frontier installed fiber on my road. I immediately purchased the "5 Gig" for the exact same cost as Xfinity and we've never looked back. The entire reason I can go live anytime I want on social media now is because of the unlimited data and upload speeds with Fronter. You should see if Frontier has fiber service whered you live, click here to check!
I started working online 30+ years ago for an ISP in Ann Arbor, MI that was also a webhost. Because of that I expect a lot from my webhost. I have used Liquid Web, Hostgator, GoDaddy, Bluehost, Siteground and many, many others over the years. I have been with Mochahost now for several years, and their pricing, service, and support far outshines any webhost I have ever been with (and their online ratings, like Trustpilot, are very high because of that). In addition, the speed at which my websites load (both front and backend) has never been faster. Click here to learn more about Mochahost, I don't make recommendations like this lightly.
