Because my mama said so...

Hi!  I'm Maria.  When I was growing up, I used to roll my eyes and laugh every time my mother said... "Isn't this white shirt cute... it's so fresh and crisp!" or "That skirt is such a classic piece."  The alternate version included beverages that were "so cool and reFRESHing."

After a while, I started to realize most great purchases could be described that way; fresh sushi, crisp linen pants, classic little black dress, fresh yellow pillows,  crisp garden veggies, fresh sheets... the list goes on! Nowadays when we shop I hear myself saying... "Hey Mom! Isn't this perfume great?  It's just so fresh!" and she looks at me with this knowing look in her eye that says, "I told you so."

So I have decided, as an ode to my mother, to write about my fresh, classic and crisp inspirations.  One last note about my mom, she's a ton of FUN!  So if something doesn't fit into my fresh, classic or crisp category I'm sure, then, it is definitely FUN.

Thanks for reading!
