This is Me

I'm Christelle van Niekerk, an Afrikaans lifestyle, beauty and wellness creator known for keeping it honest, showing up with uplifting energy and a real passion for helping women and men believe in themselves.

Many of you first came to know me through kykNET's Boer Soek 'n Vrou. Since then I've grown a community I treasure across TikTok and Instagram, sharing my beauty favourites, wellness, fashion, fragrance, fitness, lifestyle finds, brand collaborations and the everyday moments that make life feel special.

Through Stella Voor I've created a space where everyone can discover new products, follow exciting launches, attend events and feel inspired to embrace life with confidence. It's about more than beauty and lifestyle. It's my way of reminding you that you are capable of so much more than you may believe.

At 40, my first Comrades

It's never too late to become your strongest self.

At 40, I completed my very first Comrades Marathon in under nine hours and earned the Bill Rowan medal I'd set my heart on, and on race day I was ranked among the top 20 most-tracked participants of the Comrades. I chose that challenge for myself after some difficult seasons, when I felt I hadn't yet truly pushed myself to see what I was capable of. The journey became about proving to myself that I'm strong, determined, free-willed and able to do hard things.

I believe I got further in life by being true to myself, and my story is one of growth, courage and refusing to place limits on myself because of age, circumstances or fear. I'm passionate about showing women and men that it's never too late to start, to dream bigger, to work toward something new and to become the strongest version of yourself.

With everything I share, I hope to encourage you to live confidently, take chances and believe that you can still do anything you set your mind to.
