Radiant Lifestyle - Illuminating Your Path to Wellness and Joy
Welcome to Radiant Lifestyle, your weekly dose of wellness, self-care, and the art of embracing life with love and vigor. I'm Bandana Sundas, your guide on this transformative journey.
Let's start with a story, my story. Nestled in the lush green hills of Kalimpong, West Bengal, I embarked on a path that was less about the soothing scents of essential oils and more about bold transitions and discovering one's true calling amidst life's whirlwinds.
My journey began in the noble field of teaching. Those five initial years, marked by dedication and passion yet a minimal wage, paved the way for a defining moment. Then, I took a bold step, moving away from textbooks and chalk, and ventured into the intricate and rejuvenating world of spa and wellness in the hotel industry.
Fast forward over two decades, and you'll find a journey marked by growth, learning, and achievement. From a bright-eyed trainee to a seasoned Spa Manager, every step was a new chapter in my book of life.
My path took me through the esteemed corridors of ITC Luxury Collection in Kolkata to the vibrant spaces of Hyatt Regency, Oberoi Amarvillas, The Westin, and Le Meridien, each offering a unique blend of wellness therapies and experiences.
But my story doesn't just weave through the Indian subcontinent. It spans the globe, with chapters in Dubai's Marriott Harbour Hotels & Suites and the idyllic shores of Mauritius at Shanti Maurice and The Residence Hotel by Cenizaro.
In 2021, a crowning moment arrived with the INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALITY EXCELLENCE AWARD as the WELLNESS MANAGER of the Year, a testament to my dedication and a beacon of encouragement to continue spreading the wellness gospel.
Despite receiving accolades and achieving great things, there's a single mother at the heart of it all. I've faced numerous challenges and spent nights reflecting on my life. However, with perseverance, love, and an unshakeable faith in our collective abilities, I did managed to overcome each obstacle. Just as the dawn follows the darkest hour, I've emerged stronger and more determined than ever.

Like many, I've faced setbacks, shed tears, and felt the weight of despair, often pondering, 'Why me?'
In these moments of doubt, I realized a fundamental truth: to thrive in this world, one must prioritize self-care and seek inspiration from their surroundings. During my lowest points, I saw it as my duty to pick myself back up, a responsibility I embraced wholeheartedly. This path to resurgence took time; it was a lengthy, introspective journey.
During those initial years, I often wished for a guiding hand to enlighten me about the significance of self-care and overall wellness. This longing fueled my desire to become that beacon for others. Now, through 'Radiant Lifestyle,' I share the wisdom I've gathered in wellness, self-care, and the enlightening world of spa therapies.
