Kristen Bell has six movies slated for release in 2012, but the 31-year-old actress is still saving for a rainy day.

“I always assume my career’s going to end tomorrow, you know what I mean?” the House of Lies star, who’s been engaged to Dax Shepard since 2009, tells the new issue of Flaunt. “We’re very frugal.”

Bell adds that they’re “hillbillies at heart, and I’m not f-cking ashamed of that.”

Bell — who next appears alongside Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski in Big Miracle — says her life with Shepard, 37, improved once she finally realized it’s OK to make mistakes.

“I think perfection is unrealistic and unattainable, and I felt freed when I let myself be who I am,” Bell tells Flaunt. ” Like, I’m gonna order red velvet pancakes. Life is f-cking short and these are delicious.”

This past week, Kristen Bell was in attendance at the Costume Institute Gala and the Friendfactor Launch Party in New York City. I have just updated our photo gallery with 85 HQ and MQ photos from both events.

Kristen Bell is the furthest thing from a bridezilla.

The Scream 4 actress, who’s currently engaged to Dax Shepard, told Us Weekly she’s not planning to walk down the aisle — ever.

“We’re just not having a wedding, so there’s no story to report there,” she announced at the FriendFactor benefit in NYC on Tuesday. “I mean, we’re still getting married, but we’re going to do it whenever we feel like it.”

“The fact that he asked me to marry him is of a little more importance than me planning a party,” she added.

Wedding ceremony or not, Bell — who recently filmed a pilot for Showtime’s House of Lies — told Us that things have never been better with the Parenthood actor, 36.

“He constantly keeps me laughing: when I’m sad, mad, frustrated, annoyed. Regardless of what it is he can lighten the mood. He’ll do anything that the mood requires,” she gushed. “I can’t get frustrated and that is a very powerful weapon. Comedy is a very powerful weapon. He’s so funny that it’s overwhelming.”

“I really don’t have bad days, you know what I mean?” Bell, 30, continued. “Even if it’s me being frustrated, he’ll make a joke about me and it’ll be so genuinely funny that I have to laugh.”

Was it a misnomer – or did Kristen Bell have some very happy news to share?

On Wednesday night, the actress, who is engaged to actor Dax Shepard, Tweeted a photo of him watching American Idol with a (possibly) revealing caption.

“My adorable husband, @daxshepard1 voting 4 his favorite american idol. Over and over again,” she wrote.

A rep for Bell assures PEOPLE they are not married, and she has called him “husband” a few times in the past.

Last year, Bell, 30, who will appear next in Scream 4, raved about her relationship with Shepard, telling Parade, “I never loved dating. I think it’s very uncomfortable to put yourself out there and be vulnerable.”

“I’m much more comfortable in a relationship,” she continued, “and I’m very happy.”

Some dread turning 30. Kristen Bell, on the other hand, discovered the birthday milestone was anything but daunting.

“I love 30 more than I’ve ever loved anything. I feel like I was born on my 30th birthday,” the actress, who celebrated the big day on July 18, tells Parade magazine. “It’s finally the time where I’ve fully accepted and loved myself, which I’m realizing more and more each day.”

For a long time, Bell says she went through a phase where she beat herself up trying to be perfect. But, “I just thought, ‘What’s the point?’ … I’m not going to be as rough on myself as I used to … I think now I’m just happy.”

Part of that, she says, is due to her relationship with fiancé Dax Shepard.

“I never loved dating. I think it’s very uncomfortable to put yourself out there and be vulnerable,” says Bell, who’ll next appear on the big screen in You Again and has a cameo in the upcoming Scream 4. “I’m much more comfortable in a relationship and I’m very happy.”

A self-proclaimed homebody, Bell has swapped clubbing for cooking – she has her own garden at home – and thinks she’s “much more like a 1950s housewife.”

At home, the former Veronica Mars star unwinds in front of the TV with Damages, Mad Men, 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights – and one guilty pleasure.

“I’m always DVR’ing Jersey Shore,” she says. “I probably should be ashamed to admit that, but I’m not. I think that it’s one of the greatest disasters to ever come to television and I just love the lessons they learn each week and the trouble they get into.”
