By the end of the day, you’ll have checked off your full health to-do list without the stress of cross-town driving or multiple stops.

A Wellness & Self-Care Day 

Errands don’t always mean chores. Sometimes they’re about taking a little time for yourself. U/D makes it easy to turn a few stops into a full wellness retreat without having to worry about getting stuck in traffic or finding the quickest route.

Finally, round out your wellness day with a class to move your body and refresh your mind. Drop into yoga or fitness sessions at Hot Yoga on University District, Lagree YYC, Orangetheory Fitness or YYC Cycle to stretch, work up a sweat and boost your energy.

With everything conveniently located, you can enjoy the ultimate ‘treat yourself day’ without ever needing to move your car.

A Sunday Reset

Sundays don’t have to be all about chores. They can be your secret weapon for a smooth week ahead.

Kick-off your day with a fluffy soufflé pancake and coffee at Fuwa Fuwa Pancakes before getting your home and week organized. Swing by Stephen Cleaners to drop off dry cleaning or pick up freshly pressed items for the days ahead. Learn more about this second-generation Calgary business in our Neighbour Feature video. Need last-minute office or school supplies? Staples has you covered so you can start Monday prepared and stress-free.

Next, stock up your kitchen with all the essentials. From fresh produce and pantry staples at Save-On-Foods to artisan breads at Cobs Bread, you’ll be ready for breakfasts, lunches and dinners all week long.

Add a little extra joy while you’re out. Brighten your home with flowers or a plant from Flowers & Beyond, or discover a new bottle of wine at Market Wines to enjoy later in the week. Shoppers Drug Mart makes it easy to grab prescriptions, personal care items and everyday essentials in one stop.

And after a productive reset, reward yourself with an easy dinner on the way home. Whether craving pizza from UNA pizza + wine or Connie & John’s, craving a quick and classic burger from Five Guys, or exploring other local favourites, U/D has plenty of delicious options to choose from. You could even cap things off by grabbing a refreshing bubble tea at The Alley.

From health check-ups to your weekend reset, U/D brings convenience and community together. Forget cross-town driving and multiple pit stops. Here, you can get it all done in one place and enjoy the process along the way.
