A-ZEN

Who has time to go to a spa? OK, from that tumbleweed silence, we'll continue with a quick Zen fix for Mums (and Dads) flattened by parenthood. As with everything Scandinavian (from minimalist monochrome interiors with requisite wooden flourishes to ethereally-chic bloggers who seamlessly unite couture and High Street) we're loving Sweden's latest beauty import – L:A Bruket.

Beautifully hand-crafted, the latest organic beauty brand on the block combines rustic apothecary packaging with all-natural ingredients to offer spa-like treatments in the Zen-like environs of your own home. Think a much more accessible Aesop and you're there.

Created for the coastal living conditions – think harsh winds, strong sunshine, salt water and battering rain – in Sweden, this powerful beauty collection is our new parent arsenal. From the rose oil body oil to the jojoba face oil, this is the next best thing to a spa day. Labruket.se
