Who is writing THE LIGHT LETTER and what is it about?
My name is Ardas Chandra and I started THE LIGHT LETTER in June 2022, with this question: âWhere is the Radiant Woman?â
This lifestyle newsletter is an ongoing research and curation of the expression of the contemporary Radiant Woman.
With each letter comes new tools, new concepts, new recommendations, and inspirations for you to find your very unique expression intertwined with my point of view.
Every Sunday in your mailbox.
How often do you publish?
Once a week for paying subscribers: every Sunday, a new Light Letter!
Once a month for the whole list: itâs The Lighthouse, the editorâs letter, if you will.
Delivered to your mailbox and in the Substack app.
On Sundays, I publish a post for Paying Subscriber.
The Sunday Light Letter is an exploration of The Radiant Woman style, lifestyle, energetics, and philosophy. This is where we are figuring out the formula (if any?), but also taking away with us inspiration to infuse back into our own lives.
Occasionally, a bonus post!

Who is Ardas Chandra?
I just turned 32, Iâm French, and lived in Paris most of my life until I met my husband and had my first child in 2020 in Mallorca, now based in Dubai/Paris/Hamburg.
If youâre into cosmic things, know that I am an Aquarius sun + rising, with my natal moon in Libra, and a Projector (in human design).
I have a Masterâs Degree in Philosophy and Applied Ethics from La Sorbonne University, I worked in retail, fashion and production, and I studied and taught Kundalini Yoga for a while. Secretly, I always wanted to be a fashion editor and/or a non-fiction bestselling writer. This newsletter is part of my job as an editor and a creative director â itâs research, itâs trendsetting, itâs me observing whatâs going on in the fashion, beauty, wellness and spiritual industries â directly delivered to your mailbox.
To this day, I still ask myself on a daily basis: What is not being said here, and how can I uncover it? Thatâs the philosopher in me. In my wildest vision, I see myself interviewing a variety of people who are decision-makers and future-shapers and ask them about their take on the Radiant Woman!
This newsletter is the place where I merge style, lifestyle, and philosophy â with the theme of the âRadiant Womanâ as a direction for my research.
