Leading Ladies: KAROLINE POVIL
Meet Karoline Povil: Foodie. Traveler. Queen of Skincare. Karoline and I met a few years ago through our mutual friend, Shemi. We share a love of salsa dancing, wanderlust, and good quality food! A couple of years ago, Karoline performed at a few festivals and while she doesn’t perform anymore, she still dances.
Born and raised in Brazil, Karoline has called Tampa home for over half of her life and a licensed esthetician for over 13 years. She is highly trained on more traditional facials where the manual technique is more important than the fancy machines, using only the best result driven products.
Her mother has always been an inspiration for her. Her mother showed her what determination and resilience looked like, being a hardworking, single mother of three girls in a third world country. While her mother passed away when she was almost 18, Karoline was taught to find the one thing you’re great at and master it; and she did. The greatest joy of her life is helping women to achieve their skin care goals while pampering them. The love she puts into her work and clients is what makes her an incredible skin care specialist, waxing expert, and friend.
The best part of her job? She loves the immediate results! Making men and women feel beautified, confident, smooth, and relaxed. The gua sha facials are the best, and yes, it’s a monthly must have for me! I leave on Cloud 9 every single time. She loves that regardless of the duration of your appointment, her clients feel and look better. She’s currently searching for the perfect location to expand and grow her business.
If she wasn’t an esthetician, you could find Karoline making little food babies as a food critic! Karoline really enjoys, and savors every bite and loves trying various foods from around the globe!
“Let all that you do, be done in love.”
1. First thing you do in the morning? Honestly I been trying to practice gratitude. Then I check the bible verse of the day and make coffee!
2. Best advice you’ve received? Do it anyways. One of my clients told me that it doesn’t matter what I do or don’t do. People are always going to talk something about me anyways, so whatever it is that I want to do, for myself, do it anyways. Because of that I got the courage to break a pattern from my past relationship and I did some incredible solo trips.
3. Dream vacation to escape to? Thailand! I cant wait to go!!!! I was supposed to go for my honeymoon, but then there was Covid-19.
4. Everything tastes better with... Goat cheese! If we are talking dessert…. Condense milk.
5. How do you stay organized? Schedule! I try to schedule everything! Even my chores. I try to make time work for me, if I don’t schedule it, it doesn’t get done, then I feel unproductive.
6. What can you not live without? Family and my friends. I am huge in spending quality time with those that I love. Second to that, prosecco, cheese and chocolate!
7. Favorite shoes? Well, as in right now my new black sneakers from puma or my dancing boots from Gfranco.
LOVE IT. SHARE IT.
