👀 Do you know what’s really stinging your eyes?
It might be sitting in your makeup bag…

Many everyday cosmetics can irritate the eyes, especially if you’re already prone to sensitivity or dryness. But small, simple swaps can make a big difference. 💙

We recommend opto-cosmetics, specially designed to be safe for all eyes, even the most sensitive. Gentle, effective and eye-kind. ✨

Ready to make the switch? Your eyes will thank you.

Sometimes all it takes is the right pair of frames… 💫

A little pick-me-up, a confidence boost, a reason to smile, because eyewear isn’t just about seeing better, it’s about feeling better too. 👓💙

New frames, new mood ✨

We all know the feeling, every role in the practice has its own expertise! While we might be confident examining eyes, our amazing reception team have their own superpowers when it comes to running the front desk smoothly.

That’s the beauty of a great team…everyone brings different strengths, and together we keep everything working seamlessly for our patients. 💙

If enough businesses take part, Susannah will donate a window display to the Treetops Hospice charity shop.
Community spirit in action 💛

Littleover…this one’s for you 🤍

Why? My community is part of my purpose and passion…
I was born here, schooled here and I still live just around the corner from the practice I now own in the village I want to see THRIVING

You might have seen our new window mural 👀
It’s vibrant and eye-catching… but look closer and you’ll find hidden icons celebrating Littleover and Derby. A love letter to the place we call home.

Now I want to take this further.

Imagine walking through Littleover and every window tells their own story 🌎 📖

I’m inviting our amazing local businesses to join me in creating standout windows that spark conversation and bring more people to our high street.

And if 4 or more businesses come on board, will donate a window art project to Hospice charity shop in Littleover 🤍

This is about collaboration over competition. I’m a glass half full person…

Take pride in where we live and action instead of waiting.

If you’re a Littleover business — message me.
If you love Littleover — tag your favourite local business below and share this post.

If I have tagged you join us or come and spot your ICON on our window! Our local schools also feature 💕

Let’s make our high street thrive ✨
