So got my year end blood work done yesterday and the results are back……took my A1C from 9.4 in April to 5.5 yesterday.

I realized I’ve been defaulting to my black metal watch with most of my winter outfits. It pairs easily with sweaters and hoodies, so it became the obvious choice. But this havan leather watch with a black dial deserves more wrist time. It’s understated, versatile, and fits winter better than I’ve been giving it credit for. So I’m challenging myself to style it with more outfits this season and use it intentionally instead of reaching for the same watch out of habit. It’s also one of those meaningful pieces — a gift that genuinely made my day when I first got it, along with other leather essentials. Giving it consistent wear just feels right.
