fresh as a daisy
Bright and rested
Fresh as a daisy describes someone who looks or feels rested, energetic, and ready to go—especially when circumstances might suggest otherwise.
The comparison to a flower opening in morning light conveys brightness and vitality: After a twelve-hour flight, she somehow looked fresh as a daisy.
Often used with mild surprise or admiration.
