About Me
Behind Everything I Do!
I design and make High-Quality Soap bars that reflect all aspects I have experienced about GOD. I also love gardening, and baking. Many of my soap recipes embody my signature oil/fat/butter blends in what I understand to be proportionately combined for ultimate care of the largest organ of our bodies: our skin. Many of the items I offer in my soaps or baked goods at our little Place of Peace (Ashes-To-Beauty Homestead). I grow or make many of the items found in my baked goods, soap, and anything else I can think of, or research to holistically make. The thought process behind the core purpose of my soaps is in the hidden treasures of Numbers 19. We are all learning and growing in every aspect of our lives. As the layers of understanding and wisdom unfold, we get see the benefits of the importance of living good, healthy lives.


April Dee Sunshine- The Butterfly Homesteader
Why Butterflies? They Transform: going from one creature to another! The process may be gooey and undesirable, but the end result is a beauty undeniable. The same is with Ashes-to-Beauty. I found that GOD doesn’t always remove the Mountain. Sometimes, He makes us Fire Proof in order to walk through it. When this happens, we have a beautiful story to tell of His Faithfulness. I tell my story through the Quality Artisan Soaps I design: sharing Encouragement about GOD’s Love, Faithfulness, and Favor (Psalm 23, Psalm 91 real life experiences), while being an Authentic, Sample Platter, for whomever I encounter, to Taste and See that He (YHVH) is GOOD!
