Remember when we were on Myspace? Yes, me neither! Well, of course, I am that old. I was not on Myspace, but it was the most popular social network site pre-Facebook. Facebook made an entrance about an year later (2004), followed by Twitter in 2006. There are currently over a hundred of them, including platforms…
Author: Maheshika Peiris
Hello, I am Maheshika (or Ma, if you like)- a fulltime mom to an amazing little girl, part-time blogger and freelance content strategist, from the beautiful island paradise of Sri Lanka.
First of all, I am so glad you stopped by. I know I am quite new to the blogging space but there are so many interesting things planned for Whimsical Connotations and I really hope you would stick around to find out...
So, let me tell you a little bit about me...
One day, it occurred to me that everyone is passionate about something or another (are you thinking ~ so what's the problem?)
Well, I am passionate about so many different things (from home interior to travel...to writing... and everything in between) which makes me want to explore all of these aspects...and I didn't know how to navigate this. I didn’t know what to do with all this information.
At this moment, something sparked and that was the inception of Whimsical Connotaions. The thought of connecting with people like you inspires me to share what I love on this platform.
So grab yourself a coffee and stay for awhile.

Stay inspired with Sara Magyar: Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer
Sara isn’t just a great Budapest based photographer. She is also my friend. So I am super excited to get this conversation on record. I think often we tend to acknowledge talent and awesomeness easily from a distance. Think about it. We would listen to a TED talk by someone we’ve never met or known…
In Conversation with Magda Horváth: “I wasn’t always a conscious customer…”
I believe that for a very long time, we—including myself—have worked to accomplish things on our own, without taking into account other women in our communities. This doesn’t necessarily imply that we have always been in competition with one another, but we have mostly failed to recognize that if we complemented each other’s abilities, we…
In Conversation with Yogini Margarita: “What are we really achieving if our practice is alive on the mat but can’t find a place in our daily rituals?”
What is the first thing that comes to mind, when you hear the word yoga? For a long time, I thought yoga wasn’t for me. But…
Sustainable Fashion Designer, Justyna Lysak: Why is sustainable and socially responsible fashion important?
“Fashion has always been deeply rooted in me, ever since I was a child watching my mother tailor beautiful clothes for me. It’s always been my passion, and as a designer my goal is to transform the fashion world without leaving a negative impact on this beautiful planet.” – Justyna Lysak, Founder and designer…
Anastasiya Szabo: The challenges of raising a family abroad and the role of community
They say it takes a village to raise a child. All parents out there know this is true because let’s admit it — we are not superheroes, and most of the time we could use some help. Being a parent is a blessing, but it also comes with its share of challenges and they only…
Is it too late to make a career change?
If you’re thinking of reinventing yourself, you may be afraid of failing. Especially if you’re in your comfort zone doing something you’re familiar with. But that will only stop you from achieving great things. Is it possible that you’ll fail? Yes. Can something go wrong? Of course, it can. But what if it doesn’t?
5 books you should read this summer
The summer is officially here. If you are anything like me, especially as a mom, you are probably looking forward to a few quiet moments in between to get on with your summer reading. This year I moved to a place by the river with breathtakingly beautiful views. The blue sky and golden sun reflecting…
POV of a writer: In conversation with Suhaib Rumi
What’s more interesting than the mind?” he asked. It was rhetorical. I smiled, for we shared a sentiment. His conviction was clear in his voice; I couldn’t have convinced him otherwise even if I’d disagreed.
