The Burnout Market

The Burnout Market

The Burnout Market: Pre-Burnout Edition

Let’s face it—burnout season hits early, and if you’re already feeling it, you’re not alone. In St. Louis, we all have our sacred pre-burnout rituals: you do your pre-shop rituals in your car (deep breaths, pep talks, maybe a little eye-rolling at yourself), grab your favorite coffee, and mentally prepare to wander the aisles of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Ross like it’s a spiritual quest for sanity. .

The Burnout Market takes all of that and cranks it up to eleven. It’s a one-stop burnout survival shop—coffee, cocktails, chaos, and retail therapy all rolled into one.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

  • Hot cocktails & mocktails in themed coffee cups by Raven. Because sometimes coffee alone won’t cut it, and a cocktail disguised as a latte is basically magic. ☕🍸

  • Pre-burnout rituals & edibles from @beyond_theblunt and @mad.world.edibles—perfect for centering yourself, grounding your energy, or just surviving adulthood without crying in the aisle. 🙏

  • Shopping, tarot & palm readings with Sincerely, The Craft, so you can get your vibe in check while wondering how you ended up here. ✨

  • Tattoos by the ONE AND ONLY @the_artdoll, for when your impulse control has left the building and your soul needs a permanent souvenir. 🎨

And many other Vendors!

And because everything else is rising in price faster than your stress levels, tickets are only $5—because surviving burnout shouldn’t cost your soul.

Throughout the night, we’ll sprinkle in random trivia, silly games, and chances to win free drinks, just to remind you that laughter is a perfectly valid coping mechanism.

So here’s the deal: do your pre-shop rituals in your car, walk in, grab your coffee/cocktail combo, shop like a burnout pro, maybe get a tarot reading that confirms your life is as messy as you suspected, and leave with stories (or tattoos) that scream: I survived the pre-burnout and laughed doing it.

Come relieve some of the burnout before the burnout even hits—we’ve got you. 💛

ADULT INDOOR SUMMER CAMP 2025 - TENACIOUS EATS TAKEOVER

💎 JUNE 20TH – TROOP BEVERLY HILLS TAKES OVER ADULT SUMMER CAMP! 💎

Pack your pearls, faux fur, and a healthy dose of fabulous because June 20th is about to be the most glamorous, bougie, and over-the-top camp experience of your LIFE. 🌟

For their second—but by no means second-best—takeover of the summer, the culinary geniuses at Tenacious Eats are bringing you a Glamp Camp experience inspired by the cult classic film: TROOP BEVERLY HILLS!

🎬 WAIT… WHAT’S TROOP BEVERLY HILLS? This 1989 comedy gem follows Phyllis Nefler (played by the iconic Shelley Long), a wealthy, fashion-obsessed socialite who transforms a struggling troop of Beverly Hills Girl Scouts into a force to be reckoned with—through shopping, luxury, and an almost illegal amount of style. It’s camp (literally), it’s chic, and it’s the perfect excuse to live your best bougie life for a night.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • A full-on Glamp Camp transformation! Not that Adult Summer Camp isn’t already peak luxury (ahem Lodge & Leisure), but we’re cranking it up.

  • Fanciful activities – Think hair feathers, tinsel, shoulder massages, and whatever else feels just extravagant enough.

  • GOURMET COOKIE DELIGHTS – Because no troop meeting is complete without them.

  • Themed cocktails and mocktailsPinkies up, darlings. 🍸

  • DRESS CODE? Break out your fanciest Girl Scout uniforms, vintage Beverly Hills glam, or just go full Phyllis Nefler and show up dripping in gold.

🍽 WHAT ABOUT THE FOOD?! Well, this is a Tenacious Eats event, so you already know it’s going to be NEXT LEVEL.

🔥 WHO IS TENACIOUS EATS? Tenacious Eats, led by the renowned Chef Liz Schuster, is famous for cinematic dining experiences that are as delicious as they are immersive. Every event features a custom-curated, multi-course menu that ties directly into the film, blending high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients with a touch of culinary madness. Each menu is uniquely designed for the movie—sometimes it’s literal, sometimes it’s an inspired interpretation, but it’s always unforgettable.

📅 DOORS OPEN AT 6 PM. Tickets may be available at the door, but why gamble? Get yours now.

💎 THIS IS THE ULTIMATE GIRLS' NIGHT OUT—DON’T MISS IT! 💎 See you on Mt. Midtown!

ADULT INDOOR SUMMER CAMP 2025 - POOL-LESS POOL PARTY

📢 JUNE 19TH – THE POOL-LESS POOL PARTY YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED! 🩳🍹

Alright, campers—it's time to raid your closets, dig through that dusty attic box, and unearth your finest summer attire because June 19th is gonna be hotter than a dashboard in July. Adult Summer Camp at Work & Leisure—aka Lodge & Leisure—is throwing the most legendary Pool-less Pool Party of the year!

🔥 **“Wait… a pool-less pool party?”**🔥 That’s right. No pool. No problem. Who needs water when you have cold drinks, hot beats, delicious eats, and the collective delusion that we’re lounging by the shore?

🎵 What’s on deck?

  • Chill summer vibes bumpin’ from the speakers – Think poolside beats without the lifeguard whistle ruining the fun.

  • Ice-cold cocktails, mocktails & refreshing sips – Hydration is key, even when the only water around is in your drink.

  • Mouthwatering bites from Tenacious Eats – Because nothing says “beach party” like gourmet camp cuisine.

  • Prime lounge real estate – No need to fight for a pool chair. Just kick back, soak up the (imaginary) sun, and vibe out.

👙 DRESS CODE? Come in your cutest summertime fit, or lean fully into the "dad-on-vacation" aesthetic with jorts and a suspiciously stained white tank. In fact… we might just be handing out door prizes for the best AND worst outfits. So go ahead, commit to the bit.

🚪 Doors open at 6 PM. Tickets may be available at the door, but don’t risk missing out—grab yours early!

💦 NO POOL. NO RULES. JUST VIBES. See you there! 🍹🏖️🔥

WHO IS TENACIOUS EATS?

If your dad is the king of the grill, Chef Liz Schuster is the queen of EVERYTHING ELSE. Tenacious Eats isn’t just food; it’s an experience. Famous for film-inspired, multi-course dinners and next-level culinary wizardry, this team takes brunch and elevates it to legendary status. Think handcrafted flavors, ridiculous attention to detail, and a meal so good your dad might actually cry (but will say “I’m not crying, you’re crying”).

🥂 BONUS: Yes, there will be mimosas. Yes, Dad will insist he doesn’t want one. Yes, he will “just take a sip” and then finish the whole thing.

🔥 So grab your dad, your dad-like figure, or just come for the food and dad energy. It’s the most fun you can have without having to fix a leaky faucet.
