Lately, I’ve been really struggling with deserved-ness. Do I deserve love and affection? Shouldn’t I just be happy with what I’ve got (which, admittedly, is a lot)? I get in to this seemingly endless cycle of feeling unsatisfied, then beating myself up about how ungrateful that train of thought is. And what I am left
In all the rush of daily life, I know I can become caught up in thinking patterns that no longer serve me well. One way that I’ve found to change what, for me, can become a nagging negative cycle is to create and verbalize affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that you create (or find) with
Five years ago I was gifted what would turn out to be one of the greatest opportunities of my life. My new husband, Dr. Janowski, was looking to make a change, and so was I. He had been helming Sonata solo since it’s inception in 2004. His technical skill was there and he could give

by Elizabeth Janowski I often get asked by friends and acquaintances what skin care products they should be using – and what brands I recommend. Certainly, navigating the billion dollar skin care industry is complicated and confusing. And with new products and brands entering the marketplace all the time — each making their own amazing
Pamela Anderson is apparently the latest celebrity to embrace the minimalist/no makeup movement. (http://hellogiggles.com/pamela-andersons-minimal-makeup-totally-new-look-looks-stunning/) Alicia Keys seems to have started it off in the summer of 2016 when she showed up at the MTV Music Video awards with what looked like, GASP no makeup on! Since then, it’s become a movement (see #nomakup on Twitter).
One of the amazing benefits of working at Sonata is that we all do the treatments that we promote to our wonderful patients. In fact, in most cases, we are the (very willing) “guinea pigs” who demo the treatments before we roll them out to our patients. We want to ensure that all the treatments
