Salma Hayek Opens Up About Finding Happiness at the Age of 41

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. She looked gorgeous as always in her red Gucci top, but lately Salma seems more focused on her inner beauty and, of course, her growing daughter. At the awards ceremony, Salma opened up about her happiness. Here's more:

• On happiness:"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:"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 in the works, it's easy to see how Salma has ended up so content.
