Second trimester - beauty ideas to feel less yuck?

I'm 15 weeks and waiting for the elusive second trimester glow to hit me Hmm. I'm feeling a bit yuck and weird about my changing body and the tiredness/nausea is showing on my face, so I'd like to do something to make me feel a bit more confident and attractive again.

Pre-pregnancy I regularly got LVL lifts (semi-permanent lash perm) but it's not recommended in preg due to the chemicals in the dye and perm solution. I had semi-perm individual lashes done for my wedding a few years ago and loved the look of them. Can these be done in pregnancy? Any other ideas for pregnancy-safe treats like this?

I felt this way the whole time! I had my hair cut into a graduated bob right at the begginging and haven't found time to go back (have a 2 year old and hasn't been an easy pregnancy!!) I know a girl who dies lashes but will not put them on a pregnant lady as this is something I wanted lol then I wanted a spray tan.. I'm badly anemic and look like Casper it's frightening!! The one thing I've maintained is my nails as acrylic is safe.. especially outside the 12 weeks but again it's down to the individual.. I'm sure other people may disagree! So the long and short of it is.. you can't do much! I focused on buying myself some new clothes weather it be for now or after baby but retail therapy makes you feel good! And sorry to say .. I'm 39+2 and still waiting for the glow to hit 👀 I must look so frightening it's avoided me completely 😂 X

Im in a similar situation (also 15 weeks) and look like crap 😂. I feel so drained! What about a new hair cut or some highlights/low lights? Maybe some new make up or a nice skin serum? Also I'm sure you would be fine to have your eyebrows done, that always makes me feel a little more groomed x
