storytimes & delicious snacks (ft. the most amazing meal I’ve had in a while)

- I told UA-cam that I've always wanted to paint...and then I was met with so much kindness in the comments encouraging me to try even if I wasn't great at it at the start. In this video, I'm giving painting my best shot while I share life updates, tell a bunch of stories, and make myself a meal I've been craving for a few weeks now. (If you've never had super fries, you are missing OUT.)
If painting is your thing, you should load this video up and paint alongside of me! But if you're not much of a crafter, no stress. (I stress enough for the both of us in this video.)

The thing I think I love most about these vids is that I never have any idea what direction they are going to go. But I am always confident that I will be satisfied at the end.
Honestly, we have that in common. 😂 I just get my camera out and let my day take me where it wants to take me and I’m hardly ever disappointed. Hahaha
And it has literally never once been a disappointment. Like it’s always been a correct assumption.
The most ADHD thing said by anyone "For someone who doesn't paint, I sure have a lot of paint" LOL
Why is it so relatable though? 😂
SO TRUE 😂
100% SAME. I have all the supplies to do all the things that I’ve only ever done a half of once.
@@mageno4641 why? Why are we like this?!? 😂 If I find something that I am even mildly interested in I collect all the things to do said actively like it's going to be my life's only income and I want to be the best in the world at it until tomorrow when something else has caught my eye, and repeat the cycle. 😂
@@elyse_myers I relate deeply. My latest purchase was all things alcohol ink. I have since done it twice but have more supplies than a professional artist 😂
I just wanted to say that I'm happy you signed the painting. Signing your work isn't about declaring you or your work important; it's a finishing touch to celebrate completing the piece. I'd also suggest adding a date, even if it's just the year. That way you can better track your journey!
In my previous life, I wouldn’t have thought twice about signing it. But right now I’m struggling with my self-confidence and signing it even though I was scared to felt like a big personal win for me! 🥹♥️
Nice comment❤ and nice job Elise, seeing you work through your “stuff” helps us do the same ❤
@@elyse_myers Then definitely something to celebrate! Also, for what it's worth, I really got a kick out of the Lens Cap fake backstory. Very creative.
I completely agree. Also if I feel weird about signing it I'll hide my signature in it. So I'll know where it is but it's not obvious. Like it'll be just another blade of grass.
@@evany8471I made my own watermark so it feels like a stamp of honor that it got finished
100% please do cookie/treat reviews with Jonas. The way you laugh together makes my soul envious, yet complete 😂
Half the footage we got last night is just us laughing and it’s truly the most joy I’ve ever had editing a piece of content. 😂😂😂
Eating cookies with my best friend? This is honestly the best idea I’ve ever heard
@@elyse_myers❤❤❤❤❤
I am normally a silent watcher but I just wanted to say thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life. I am typically a very cautious and anxious person and I have always felt like my brain works differently from everyone around me but your content has made me feel seen and understood and not alone.
The fact that you went outside your comfort zone to tell me this means the world to me. I’m so proud to be in this fight for health together with you! ♥️
Wondering what version of myself someone is looking for when they asked me to come be myself is the realest thing & I felt so seen by this.
I think there will always be a version of me in other people’s head that doesn’t actually exist and I had to accept that pretty early on in my career online. But it’s particularly terrifying when I’ve been hired to be myself in front of a large group of people because being able to see people’s faces and look in their eyes while they evaluate the physical you vs. the idea of you they built in your head is really intimidating!
Great comment and GREAT job going for it Elyse!!
Absolutely obsessed with the longer content and getting to see more of your personality! These videos are so comforting I feel like I’m on ft with a good friend and we’re just living life together 🤍
Thank you for including "us" in your choices, it is very interesting and fun being part of your day...and we all did wonderful on the painting
So glad to be here with you!
You showing us the blue sky bc you thought it was beautiful was so sweet 🥹
It was soooo pretty! I couldn’t keep it from you guys!
I don't know if you'll read this but it's really important for me to tell you you're the reason I started crocheting. Your short about how people with adhd should start learning with amigurumi made me obsessed instantly, after a long time where I wasn't passionate about anything. I bought my first hook and yarn the same day and it became one of my biggest hobbies. it lead me to so many great memories. I even got to sell my crochet dolls in a local convention 🥰
so from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I want you to know that even small actions you take can make big changes in the lives of others, and I'm so so happy that I found your channel ❤🫶
I really needed this video today! Just hanging out with Elyse crafting, eating, laughing.... I loved it!
So glad you’re here!!
“i don’t even know if i’m having fun, i just want to prove to myself that i can be chill about it” SO REAL
heck yeah craft night with Elyse. Sending y'all the absolute best.
Craft night yessssss!!!! I hope people use this video to paint along with!!! That would make me so happy!
❤
@@elyse_myersnow that is a great freaking idea ❤❤
@elyse_myers I MUST DO!! Freakin’ brilliant, child! BRILLIANT 🤯🫶🏻
I too will also be that little old lady swearing while trying to do arts and crafts in the retirement home 😂😂❤️
I’m glad we’ll share that experience 😂
Same 😂😂
"Went downhill, in the bad way." 😂😂
Love the callback
My niece was an instructor at one of those painting companies till they closed down. Your instructor did not do his job. It was not your skill level, it was that the instructor failed you. Sending encouragement! 😊❤
Elyse: I’m a terrible painter.
Then proceeds to make the cutest little painting! I’m gonna need one for my kitchen! Thanks 😆
Hahahaha I don’t know if it was the fact that I gave myself all freaking day to make that thing but it turned out far better than it had any business turning out. 😂 I truly don’t know what I’m doing so I’m almost afraid to try again because I feel like I just got lucky and picked a really good print to copy hahahah
@@elyse_myers I've done this myself. Usually just time and being more patient with myself in the process has led to some surprisingly decent paintings. I liked yours! Keep it up.
Anybody else jealous of the art in Bethany’s house?😂 Elyse is the absolute best at making me love the little things ❤ thanks
❤ you so much. ♥️ any of you if you’re reading this if you needed to hear it today!
Needed and appreciate it!! Same back to you fellow human trying to make it through. ❤
Love you too!!
I would call it "A close-up of a pupil" and say, "Behold the beauty!" To everyone who asked what it was.
I LOVE THIS
As a jeweller/artist... I'm really impressed with the composition of that painting. Its lovely, perfect in its own way. Please keep painting 😘
2 m&ms to every 1 almond is indeed the correct ratio 👏🏼
you get it!
I hope you enjoyed Sheridan! My mom said she met you at the museum and fangirled over you. I love that for her!! She thinks the world of you. I know this because she told me recently that I remind her of you….I think she thinks this because she wants to love me (her daughter) as much as you 😂 thanks for being born and making her so proud ❤
OMG did she work in or around the gift shop??? Or maybe she was just heading there when she was passing by meeting me! SHERIDAN WAS AMAZING! I bought a sweatshirt and hat at king ropes because the trip to Sheridan healed something in me I didn’t expect it to be able to heal. I’ll always be grateful to that trip for what it did for my soul. 😭
I’ve never seen anyone who needed Bob Ross to talk about happy little accidents more.❤
As someone who also lives in the Midwest (our tornado sirens go off Wednesdays at noon) I have said that same sentence many times 😆😆😆
Same, thought that same thing for my entire life. Now I live in FL where they don't do them, and man do I miss them!
I think this every week, honestly! I have been saying that we need a different siren that’s reserved specifically for tornados that hit on Wednesday at 11 am 😂
There’s always a little bit of “is this something that is going to end everything?” Vibes
Haha, it's Mondays at noon for us here! 🌪
I grew up in Houston,TX. Our siren was for emergency alerts. You know that whole thing with Cuba and also the Cold War. I was born in the mid-50’s.
Yes, acrylic needs water. However I adore Lens Cap. You do you, I do me, and whatever the paint gods bring is a gift. The oranges look really good! There is one Elyse. How Elyse is performative might vary a bit, but that means no one is ever bored. I'd pay to see you have speak your way through a potential anxiety attack. Paintings, teeny in the corner or on the back for small paintings. Oh, this made my afternoon. Thank you.
As it turns out, I ruined this paint because it froze in my car and it wasn’t able to be reconstituted correctly 😅😅😅 but I found some other paint to make it work!!
@@elyse_myers Tube acrylic - I baked mine in the Florida garage storage. Same effect. The bottles are more rigorous to temperature. Maybe not freeze, but I live in FL.
Bestie I think you’re more skilled in making up stories about failed paintings because that was so beautiful that I forgot it was completely made up. A painting with that backstory would sell for thousands in a gallery, and I mean that in the absolute best way possible. A natural talent for CREATIVE storytelling goes such a long way and that’s why I’ve followed you for years now. Throwback to the taco story 🤪
I grew up in Lincoln, NE and lived there off and on until I was in my mid 30s. The tornado siren test every Wednesday at 11:00 was something I pretty much took for granted. What I just realized is that for the past 20 years that I’ve lived in Oregon I’ve never heard any of those big sirens for anything. I kind of miss them. I also miss big skies, summer thunderstorms and fireflies.
I really like that painting, Elyse! Also, love the way you eat. And talk. And do everything. 💜
Thanks friend!! This is really kind 🥹♥️
“I didn’t want to inconvenience a whole person” is such a vibe! 😶🌫️
Watching your videos has made my brain feel so validated. I’m 57 yrs old and just learning I have ADD (plus a shitload of trauma) and it all makes so much sense now. Watching you helps me to know that, what I thought were things I should hide, are things to be celebrated! Thank you from a fellow Omaha-an (is that even a word?).
you are a friggin' GEM. "The fact that you can't see what's behind the lens cap, doesn't mean it's not there" -- Apparently I live behind a lens cap.
omg! SAME!!!
I am not normally a youtube watcher, but I check here all the time to see if you’ve posted. Your videos are so real, they make me feel just a little less alone in how I experience the world. Thanks for being you and being vulnerable enough to be a real human on the internet!
This painting is exceptional. Proud of you. Thank you for always making me feel like I'm not the only one going through every single thought that you said on this video 😅. You are not alone! Cheers to "real normal."
That is such a beautiful impressionist painting of a chalkboard. 😂
Seriously. I love your oranges painting. You are talented Elyse.
Hurt people, hurt people. You have a beautiful soul Elyse and deserve all the happiness in the world! Happy to see you happy 😊
Omg what can’t she do?! I am so obsessed w her hair, she can pull off so many styles!❤❤
Oh my gosh thank you so much this is amazing?? 🥹♥️ I don’t get a lot of time to do blow dry my hair in this season of my life so when I get to do it, it feels really special!
@@elyse_myers oh geez u just made me SO happy! I was super bummed this afternoon thinking u wouldn’t see my comment. I was having a stressful evening & I got this notification, I lit up immediately! ❤️❤️ you are so special to this world, Elyse- you have GOT to know that we admire your strength, honesty, tenacity & just general ability to keep pushing no matter the cost! My heart broke when I thought we were losing you on socials. And yes, your hair is absolutely GORGEOUS beyond words. It look great no matter how you style it. I absolutely adore when you do full short curls. Like the day you ran into miss Rachel & had the beanie on. I’m a 3C curl & I envy your coif to the moon & beyond, girlfriend. You stay strong & keep “surviving purely out of spite”. The world needs more Elyse Myers’ in it. If we could clone your kindness & hand it out this would be so much more gentle & empathetic. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ never give up! Jonas & the boys are lucky to have you, as are we in the small way you have allowed us into to your world. I wish health & happiness to your family always. Sincerely your true fan, Randi Dukes of Georgia🍑
I didn’t know you were on UA-cam until today. I have been missing you on Tik Tok and Instagram. This video has filled a void in my heart. I’m so glad you’re still here ❤❤
FYI, every Wednesday at 11 am our area of Omaha has a tornado siren (during “the season”), and yeah, I always wonder what would happen if it was the real deal. We’d all be ignoring it, and the news the next day would report how the majority of our county was wiped out.
PS I love the idea of hanging “Lens Cap” with a museum label.
You are an incredible film maker Elyse, it’s like a video scrapbook journal of entertainment and reality 🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
This is really really kind of you. Thank you so much!
I'm a Wyomingite who is currently studying abroad in Spain and I'm so sad that I missed you visiting my state, but it makes me a happy-kind of homesick to hear you went! Sending good energy from across the Atlantic!
I will ABSOLUTELY be back. Sheridan, WY healed something in me I can’t explain. I’ll forever be grateful to WY for being the place I went to get back into my working life outside of Omaha. I want to take Jonas back some day to show him how breathtaking it is because the views were impossible to capture in a photograph! I tried about 270 times! 😂
@elyse_myers I'm so glad to hear it! I'm about 5 hours south of Sheridan, but Wyoming is definitely a beautiful place. I'm loving Granada, Spain, but I'm excited to get back home in June. Hopefully Jonas will like it too!
Thanks for showing the beauty in Kansas and not shitting on it like most people do ❤❤
Kansas is beautiful and the land has beautiful energy
As a Missourian, I never capitalize kansas because it's neither a proper place nor a proper name. 😂
@@MasterRahl221 typical Missouri education right there.. lol
Oh god I love Kansas so much! It’s where I go when I need to get out of Omaha but don’t know where to go. It’s like my home away from home and has such a special place in my heart!
@@MasterRahl221you’re missing out - both Missouri and Kansas are really special and have so much to offer!
Thank you for spending time with us Elyse! ❤🙏❤
Thank YOU!
thank you for dedicating your "lens cap" painting to me and all the fellow Bethany's of the world!!
edited to add: the kitchen painting I would high key put up in my kitchen. nothing like a 50s style home, to go with my 50s style outfits!
I went to art school and I tell you, everything I intended to make was garbage and all my accidents were far better. I love Lens Cap, you would have got an A++ for that and you had me sold. When I saw the black I thought, that's your internal frustration coming out. Very Mark Rothko but hopefully less depression involved!
I’m sending this to Bethany from work with no explanation
You are killing it with this long form content! They are so good 😊
Perhaps a better idea than offering food. Tip the driver what those extra items would have cost. That's totally legit and they will be thrilled. I have done that when l order just a coffee because l want a totally bougie one. Your painting is great. We now have the fruit to go with the nuts. You're fabulous, don't ever change. Well, just the usual versions are what makes you you. As someone who has a version for every occasion, l salute you!
Well done, you
I always tip super well! I just also had this dream of like sharing a little tasty treat with the driver but it never usually works out hahaha
Painting looks great! I would totally hang that with my summer decorations! Well done! Also, super proud of you for the conference you attended! Looks like you got a standing ovation! Congratulations!!! You are the real deal, Elyse Myers!!!
Hysterical!!!!
I’m sure Bethany loves her new kitchen painting - I sure do!😂
Lol! When you said your mouth was watering putting that Chipotle on the fries, I realized mine totally was, too. This is a combination I now must have. You're just as magical as ever.
Also, I'm so impressed with your painting.
Your shirt is my vibe today lol. I’m really struggling right now, but gosh darn it, I won’t let the world beat me! I love the painting, it definitely would be right at home in my 60’s kitchen. ❤
You got this!!
I absolutely loved your short form content and honestly didn’t know what to expect from long form content tent Elyse. But you are truly amazing. I appreciate you being your honest self. I truly look forward to your long form content because I just enjoy hanging out with you. Thank you for sharing with the world ❤
listening while editing photos!!! love your authenticity and realness elyse thank you!!
I love this!!! I edited about 3 rolls of film worth of photos and watched lots of Emma chamberlain in the background so we basically had the same day!!
Hanging out, painting and sharing stories with you is a treat. Can’t wait for more cookies 🍪❤️
Elyse: today was not productive at all!
Also Elyse: literally holding a painting she made
I really like this painting, seriously. I love the graphic nature to it and the color choices plus the red outline. I would totally hang that up in my kitchen.
I’m so glad I was able to find you on UA-cam! You make me feel seen with my anxiety disorder and some days I’m scared of just stepping outside my door. I have a two year old who is newly diagnosed type one diabetic and life just seems so scary sometimes. Thank you for being you
her food vibes give me life!!!! That's how i am with food. ❤❤❤❤❤
It WAS a productive day! You learn something new about yourself by completing that painting in the manner that you did. That is extremely important and don't forget that when you grow that is valuable because you are valuable!❤
Hi Elyse, I'm Elise and I don't feel so alone or ashamed of myself when I watch your videos. It makes me feel a lot of love for myself and want to be myself as I am. You're a beautiful person.
I've been teaching myself to paint for the last couple of years. And the things that much better artists have taught me is that EVERY painting goes through an ugly stage and that no matter how much you practice, you still know you painted it so you will always see the imperfections.
I love your painting. I think I'll go paint some fruit.
Gotta be honest, never thought about putting chipotle on mcdonalds fries but now I've got a plan for today 😂 maybe I'll record a reaction video 😂 ps loving your podcast and your new platform with longform content. Love that for you!❤🎉
I’d still like to apply for the box-breaker-downer position! I see it’s still available! 😂 (I have the same problem!)
You are sunshine in human form ☀️exactly what we need more of 🌻
fun painting fact: if you ever need to make a color dull (take the neon or brightness out of it) add a couple drops of the contrasting color. So, for orange, you would add in a bit of blue. Just make sure the shades are the same! (i.e. tangerine's opposite is sky blue).
I'm so happy you're doing more of these, or i guess doing these more consistently?? I love this content. Actually, I'm not sure there's a piece of content you've ever made that I didn't love😂 but I am still loving these not-completely-curated-and-planned vids. Your coffee talks were always so fun, but it's nice getting a more rounded view of you and it's so quietly comforting and relatable seeing you struggle with things during the day *AND* watching you get wins over your anxiety and stress. Thank you for deciding to open yourself to the internet years ago 🫶🏻
damn you're a true storyteller! I was captivated hearing that lens cap story honestly, it convinced me about the painting - I would've totally bought it after that haha
Ok but squint and all the friends’ paintings look like a cosmic shark about to take a bite out of something!
you are literally a shining light of joy in this dark world and i would die for you you precious creature UGH
I love your orange painting! You should do more! I'm an art teacher and I love your thought process.
Painted with you today 🌸 Thank you for posting I love your oranges!!!! It’ll fit perfectly in Bethany’s kitchen! 🎉 I was complimenting us both (oh your painting looks so good! So does mine yay! XD)
Also my big tip for enjoying painting is paint whatever you want, whatever your brain gets the happy from
I’m on a neopets kick but I had a pepper era, and a frog era as well and had so much fun with it I’m liking flowers now too since I’m doing ones I think are cool
I love this advice so much!! Also, I’m glad we got to paint together!!
I went to one of those paint nights back when I was dating my husband and the picture did not turn out great but one of my husband's room mates saw it and liked it so I gave it to him and it was one of only two pieces of art hanging in that house for YEARS, the other being a framed map of middle earth. I was legitimately going to throw it out.
Also, whatever that steak, fries, salad thing was, my very pregnant self will be attempting to recreate tomorrow.
That painting came out beautiful! Also, I need to try that chipotle/McDonalds fry creation because it sounds and looks amazing!!! I recently had a salad that came with buffalo chicken and French fries on top….mmm chefs kiss!!
A Mexican restaurant that my husband and I frequent serves something similar to this and call it Vegas Fries. It’s my favorite!
Yessssss!!! My grandpa was a Mexican butcher most of his life and he made something like this for me when I was little and I’ve loved it ever since!
This happened to me and my friends! And my friend just started painting fire all over it 😂😂😂 artistically lit hers on fire when it wasn't working out
EVERYONE NEEDS & DESERVES AN "ELYSE" IN THEIR LIFE!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice job on the painting ! I even like the lens cap painting and story . Loved your crumbl review too . Keep them coming 😂❤🎉
I love your long form content! Thank you for being you and sharing it!
I would absolutely LOVE to have that 70s colors vibe of oranges hanging in my kitchen!! You should be so proud of yourself, woman…I think you killed it! 😊🧡
Same!!
I had no idea you did long form videos, this was great! I feel like I just discovered treasure!
Your painting is amazing! 😊❤
Seriously peed myself laughing at the slow swallow!! 😂 happens to me ALL…THE…TIME.
Omg soooo relatable!!!! Every painting I've ever attempted and/ or
"finished" have all ended in me painting 5 layers of black to "start over" because I'm too OCD to let it alone and hypercritical 😂
As soon as I heard the siren I was thinking ‘Ah, Wednesday afternoons in Omaha!’
And then I was suddenly doubting 30 years of memory and wondering if they always happened on Wednesdays or some other day.
And then 10 seconds later you saved my sanity a bit! 🤣
11:15 do what Uncle Roger says when ‘measuring’, just use feelings!
15:16 oh my giddy aunt, where did you get this idea?!? That looks so good.
That was the best bs story I’ve ever heard in my life! I was fully invested in that piece of art by the time you were done talking about Bethany and Lens Cap. Please, please do the art piece note next to it and hang it proudly! You should sign it too. 💜 😎☺️
So good to see you! The whole time you were painting yellow, I thought "when is she going to just brush some organelles and white streaks on it, and start a series of film camera paintings. This one could be called "Over exposed." 😂
Pov I was crying because I got denied from * another * legal internship and then you posted and I was so happy to watch you paint oranges
I’m so sorry, friend! I’m grateful this video was a little virtual hug today!
I absolutely LOVE your videos! I am never disappointed in the content whether it's just an everyday come do this with me or an update on your family and life or if it's storytime...point is lol...your realness, (I believe that is a word) humility, absolutely hilarious, quirky, gorgeous down to earth personality, self, and videos have helped me in so many more ways than I would have thought. I am so thankful to you for sharing your amazingly talented self with all of us as you bring so much more joy and happiness than you will ever know ❤️ 😂 Thank you for being you!
I suck at painting, but I love it, so I do paint by numbers! I recommend Simple Painting. SOOOO cute and good quality!
Honestly, your videos make me want to make videos because I absolutely love how you are so sincerely and genuinely you. I get self conscious about how much I talk and how I never *really* know how my stories are going to end. I feel like we have similar vibes and I enjoy your content so much! You make me feel like being myself is worth sharing with others because I get so much joy out of what you share.☺️
I just love these videos. That painting is amazing! We did a sip(less) n paint on a family vacation, and the time limit was so stressful. During Covid, we did one online with all the time in the world. They're still not finished.
You are a gem! Thanks for taking us on your adventure. Your videos are more validating than you'll ever know..
These videos make my day and I relate to you SO much. Also the way you spun the meaning of your paint-and-sip painting (✨Lens Cap✨) was inspirational and it ended on a really beautiful message that kind of made me emotional 🥹
Also also your orange painting turned out GREAT!!!
Thank you for making my day better - love a type of Bethanie lol
The painting is beautiful but more importantly your heart is even more beautiful! ❤️
wait the painting was so cute! i love it so much! it's okay if not all the paintings turn out like that one. art is art. and sometimes the beauty of the piece is clear in the final product, and sometimes the beauty of the piece was the experience and memory of making it (just like a full roll of lens cap photos)
I must say, I was entertained teh entire time
Entiretained
Love your orange painting! Hated paint & sip - the instructor put too much work into my canvas. Met some fun people there, though!
This long form content brings me so much joy. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
