Salma Hayek treated herself to a shopping excursion yesterday at LA's Ron Herman store, which she more than deserved after taking home a prize for her acting and producing work at Tuesday night's Crystal + Lucy Awards [1]. She looked gorgeous as always in her red Gucci [2] top, but lately Salma seems more focused on her inner beauty and, of course, her growing daughter [3]. At the awards ceremony, Salma opened up about her happiness. Here's more:

• On happiness [4]:"I have learned to enjoy time to be a woman. I have learned to enjoy how to do the most that I can with what I have . . . it is a good thing to be a 41-year-old Latina woman in America."
• On Valentina [5]:"I was with her right before we came. I was in the car telling my partner, I know it’s been 10 minutes, but I miss her already . . . she sticks her tongue out, she claps at everything. From day one, she’s been smiling and laughing. She’s a very happy baby. Everything she does melts my heart.”

With a gorgeous and healthy daughter at home and a likely marriage [6] in the works, it's easy to see how Salma has ended up so content.
