Let’s Get Whimsical & Joyful With Princi

Small Business Spotlight (SBS) – Whimsical Wishes By Princi/Pratibha Bhasin

Pratibha Bhasin who also goes by Princi says whimsical wishes are her musings. She is a wife, mom, technologist, and fashion enthusiast with a passion for making everything look beautiful.

Her husband, Paraag is her biggest supporter and helper along with her 7-year-old twins Yuv and Hana. Their excitement and energy inspire and drive her to create beautiful memories. 

We always think of businesses in the traditional sense that either sell a product or service. But Princi’s only goal is to create and share joy through her DIY posts and experiences.

She is someone I would call a joy spreader and that is so needed especially in the past year.

Let’s find out more about Princi and her vision behind starting Whimsical Wishes

FTW: Growing up, we always have thoughts about what we want to be when we grow up. Do you remember what you wanted to be when you were 5 years old? Princi: There were quite a few things I wanted to be from a Model to an interior designer to a writer like Jane Austen or Jo March.
