They gave birth in the same hospital, in the same room, in the same bed (luckily not at the same time!) 6 months before they met on Instagram 3 years ago.

Sam and Gemma launched This Is Mothership because they felt like there wasn’t anyone out there talking to new mums who still wanted to keep their cool and not just be labelled as ‘mums’.

As two mums themselves, they both know first-hand how it feels to not know how to style a changing body and to need to adapt your beauty regime to work with one hand (the other holding a baby). They will be hosting a session at our next retreat providing beauty tricks and styling tips for new and busy mums that will help them feel and look great, and all their tips work in seconds!
