Budget overhaul - help!

I’m due my second baby anytime now and feel like since I had my first child 3 years ago I’ve let myself go. I really want to get back to feeling a bit more ‘me’ when this baby is born, but I’m on a really limited budget.
Luckily I have a gym membership which I’m going to try and make good use of when on mat leave. I’m also hoping to get my hair done before baby makes its arrival. Obviously I can paint my own nails.
Does anyone have any tips of easy/budget friendly ways to make yourself look/feel better and regain a sense of yourself? I live in leggings and never thought I’d be that person!

I think a skin routine makes me feel good. I use the Liz Earle cleanse/tone/moisturiser and it’s my routine, my bit of luxury.
I also treat myself to some other bits from the range and display them proudly in my bathroom !

Get yourself a tinted lip balm, which will give your lips a nice colour but without being heavy.

I don't think there is anything wrong with leggings, but look into adding a few completer pieces

If you can't make it to the gym, YouTube has some work put videos.

I have a jar of coconut oil which can be used for lots of different things eg a hair masque, body moisturiser, cuticle oil.

Have a basic make-up look that you can do very quickly.
Tinted lip balm is good as it is easy to reapply on the go.
Tinted moisturiser or bb cream is good too
