8 Signs That He is About to Pop the Question!

Of course this month's Wedding Wednesday post had to be the week of Valentine's Day!

Did you know that Valentine's Day is the second most popular date for proposals? Christmas is first!

Today's post is going to help you spot the signs so you can tell if your engagement is right around the corner...

1. Future Plans
An easy to way to know that your ring is coming is if your hubby keeps talking about your future together. Maybe before future talk was uncertain but now discussing far off plans seems totally natural.

2. Missing Jewelry
If your favorite ring has suddenly gone missing, don't be alarmed! Maybe a little elf borrowed it to double check your ring size...

3. Quiet Time
Proposing is a huge deal, so if your significant other is acting nervous or anxious don't worry. Comfort him (without nagging him) to help calm those butterflies.

4. Tighter Budget
If money seems tight and your nights out have become nights in, it doesn't always mean that things are going south for the two of you. He might just be starting to save for payments on your new bling.

5. Family Matters
If your family is acting weird and has stopped nagging you about when your proposal is coming, it might just be because they don't want to blow the big surprise!

6. Time for a Mani/Pedi
Is your BFF suddenly overly concerned about whether your nails are chipped or not? If so, she probably just wants to make sure that your left ring finger is camera ready!

7. Out of the Ordinary Date Ideas
If your hubby is suddenly wanting to take you on lavish, out of the ordinary dates, maybe something is up! He clearly can't propose over a carry-out dinner with Netflix on the TV!

8. Weekend Getaway
Speaking of out of the ordinary dates, nothing is more romantic than a vacation or long weekend getaway! Whether you're snuggled up fireside in a snowy cabin, or lounging at a five-star resort, the alone time sets the scene for a perfect proposal!

And don't worry if you can't spot the signs - your significant other might just be really good at surprises! Sometimes the best proposals catch you totally off guard and seem so out of the blue!

Room Renovations Reveal!

If you have been following my journey on Instagram, then you know that I recently renovated my room!

Real talk: Since I still live at home, it is difficult to have a space that I can truly call my own! 

My room was so outdated and cluttered, it was definitely time for an update! Although pink is my favorite color, I decided to revamp my color scheme to neutral black, white and grey with just a pop of pink!

I tried to keep a budget in mind and this renovation ended up costing around $400 (including everything from rugs to Command strips)! But I have to admit that half of this budget was solely spent on my new Ideals of Style canvas by Oliver Gal via Hautelook. #sorrynotsorry

(Unfortunately it is no longer available through Hautelook but I linked it here at another retail location!)

I switched it up from the pale pink paint to Behr paint: "Graycloth" on 3 walls and "Natural Gray" on the long wall next to my bed. The Behr paint covered the pink sponge painting really well with just a few swipes of the roller!

After

I framed the original sketches that @_melissajoy_ made for my blog logo and hung them. It was a totally cute and personal touch!

It looks so much cleaner and I love the little table in the corner featuring my Badgley Mischka Jeannie pumps!
