You are so real and natural! I love that you dont seem coached, just normal people , very easy to relate to, unlike many other youtubers who seem more like show people ..mannequins with the means of selling products.
much love to both of you!
I appreciate that! Yes, I believe we were just being ourselves. It's the best way to be. Thank you!
It was so much fun to do this collaboration. Thanks again for suggesting it. I love how we have a great mix of practical and universal tips. Looking forward to collaborating again in the future.
Jewells Chambers I follow you on Instagram and love your posts. I am going to be Iceland in September 26-29th, would be lovely to meet you 😊
Hi Samira! It is awesome that you are coming to Iceland this month and that you enjoy my posts on Instagram. I would love to find some time to meet while you are here. Feel free to email me at jewells@fromforeigntofamiliar.com :-)
Yes it was heaps of fun! Thanks for sharing so open and honestly. Yay for those collaborations to come
🤗
Jewells Chambers thank you for sharing! Great stories about living, loving, long distance relationships, taking risks and taking the plunge! I'll follow you on TH-cam and check out the other video with Tabitha when I have time... My Instagram is @peterschramm3 .
@@PeterSchramm3 My pleasure and thank you for watching. :-)
I'm Pakistani-american and most of my life I NEVER got attention from decent american guys. However when I traveled to Iceland last month I noticed that a lot of good looking guys noticing me? It's very strange. Do the men there like ethnic looking women? it's something i've noticed in general about nordic guys.... but idk maybe its in my head ? Has any other ethnic woman noticed this?
I think they like (the look of) anyone attractive whatever ethnicity they may be. I cannot say that they, in general, like ethnic/exotic looking women because they also love their own. The motivation behind what they actually want from you is something else to ponder on... so in conclusion, don't assume, have conversations with them when you get the chance 😀
Young woman who look and speak as well as these two could get husbands in any country
Thanks! 😊
U ladies are awesome, Tabitha U should have no problem getting a man wherever U reside.
Kjalli aw Thankyou! Unfortunately I have been unlucky in love, but I’m sure I will find someone soon 😊
Icelandic men are kinda like Danish and Norwegian men. I am actually Estonian but grew up in Denmark but I love Scandinavian men better than Estonian men every time I visit my grandparents in Estonia they remind me why their attitudes are different also Nordic men are better looking like yeah every where has good looking people but I typically like the finer features on Danish men than Estonian men. I personally would not date someone much older than me but you never know who you meet. Tabitha you’re really pretty and so soft spoken and sweet someone is lucky if they get you.
I quite like Scandinavian men too. As for dating older men, I have tried and it's kind of tricky. With age comes alot of baggage - emotional hurt, kids etc etc. As someone who hasn't dated alot, I don't have enough baggage to match up to it. And baggage helps shape your experiences and desires. No harm in dating younger if a good guy comes your way :) - then again, you never know who you will meet. & Thank you for your kind compliment Eva :)
Tabitha Laker You never know who you fall head over heels for but yeah older men some have baggage. I think for someone who hasn’t dated much should date people in a similar age group like me I am 24 and my boyfriend is Swedish and 23 dating a younger guy is good they are a little more open and modern.My experience in Scandinavia is that a lot of men can be shy some can be afraid to approach women and some like when women approach them like in Sweden the women sometimes approach men even here in Denmark they do. My advice(doesn’t work for everyone but it worked for me) is sometimes the really good looking men are the really shy ones and don’t know they are good looking they are the ones to approach like when I approached my current boyfriend he turned so red blushing that someone approached them and it turned into a good relationship we have been together for 2 years. You never know where you meet men online, on the bus, at work, college etc. I meet my man at a coffeehouse in Stockholm. I hope this helps.
Hey again Eva, sorry for my late reply. I can approach a man initially but I don't want it to become the ongoing theme in a relationship where if I don't chase him he will never chase me - That's why I would rather be approached first. I know there are exceptions such as in your case but one of the qualities I look for in a man is assertiveness. Nevertheless, it takes two to make a relationship work so I just hope I find someone I can make it work with.
Eva The girl next door Scandinavian men are soo circumcised in Scandinavia. Why would you want a men like that?
Cool_Cat007 Smoove what do you mean by that?
such good relationship advice & sharing of experiences in general.This helped me alot you have no idea.In the end men are men universally
Awesome! Glad you found this helpful.
neat video.. So funny that Tinder thing..so many ppl used that while I was traveling and I never did..Hahaha.. Interestingly I came across this video and recently met a beautiful Icelandic man while I was in another country visiting and let me just say wow... Very surprised.. We keep in touch and who knows...
The open mind thing is so important ..
Thanks for sharing
Tinder can be alright sometimes. Many have even met their spouses there. But I wouldn't go back 😂
Back in those days when I used to set my Tinder to another country, it was because the men in England seemed to use it to hook up only and could never commit to a normal conversation. Many would either fetishi$e or be outright raci$t.... When I started setting location elsewhere, it was somewhat a different story. They just 'seemed' nicer.
Here in London there is an abundance of attractive black women so black women (often)get taken for granted by all races. Maybe the reason they seem nice abroad is because they don't often get the chance to interact with black women so when they meet on a dating app they are on their 'best' behaviour. Just an Idea lol
An open mind is great but it has to be on both sides. When you are in a foreign land, it is often the foreigner to conform to the local culture and you have to be prepared to do it, otherwise the relationship won't work. I hope it works out for you with the man you have met. Keep in touch and who knows. Would be a wondeful love story 💖
Love this video and how kind you are to the internet freaks leaving some of the weirder comments on your page... People really have no problems besides who other people are dating eh. Glad you're head and shoulders above the judgment. I learned the hard way that people just love to talk and could care less about your genuine happiness. Such is the culture of modern times I guess! Hope you find someone who only adds to your life Tabitha 🤗
I have learnt that some people would rather pass judgement on the dating lives of others instead of working on their own. They don't realise how much more powerful it is to be the example they wish to see. Thanks for your well wishes!! I really hope the same too.
Thanks for the video Tabitha! I learned a lot. I need a Nordic man in my life!
You're welcome! You should GET one hehe! I'm sure he would also be glad to have you in his life!
Good morning
Two beautiful ladies!

Good evening
Being an icelandic guy, I just have one question, is this actually a serious video? 🤣🤣
gloople why do u ask that?
gloople - sounds more like two expat women talking about the dating scene while they are filming the discussion.
gloople - sounds more like two expat women talking about the dating scene while they are filming the discussion.
@@maureenkelly738 Neither are expats
@gloope lol funnily enough it is actually a serious video, however the point of it is to share a stories rather than provide a step by step guide on 'how to get an Icelandic man' 😊 Although I'm sure, many ladies would love that video format!!! 😅
Tabitha it is funny that you talk of that guy that kept talking about a lady with an athletic body. I just blocked a guy who kept sending me clips of women with an hour glass shape and i don't have that shape and I knew this guy for 3 years a while ago, so yaa sometimes you meet wierd people in life and they can ruin your frame of mind and try to control you. Oo dating haha.
Nellia Moyo You know what’s worse, at that time I did have an athletic slim figure. I was in shape. But because he kept asking me if I was athletic, I figured he couldn’t see it! Made me feel invisible and like he was desiring a different woman. He even sent me a message from another dating site last year, but I couldn’t bring myself to reply. The audacity. It’s crazy a guy kept sending you clips of curvy women! To me, that’s a sign something isn’t right upstairs. Thank God you blocked him. You don’t need that kind of energy. You want someone who loves you for who you are and if you are to work on your physiques, you do it together.
I'm here 🥰
Lovely!!
While living in Indiana, did he notice any major differences between midwestern men and Icelandic men?
Number one: Be beautiful.
True!
Where's the "laugh out loud" button! Seriously now, this is the second of your videos I've watched after it came into my queue while practicing scales. You two make a great team. You're both very engaging and complement each other very well with your very different personalities.
Iceland is expensive for interantional students?
It's expensive for most people. Thankfully education in Iceland is free, you only need to pay an annual administration fee and take care of your other basic needs such as food and transport.
Its the only real relationship. My wife is my best friend for the last 24 years, its interesting listening to young people differentiating between best friend and partner.
Guide504 yes there is a difference between best friend and partner. Of course, a partner can be your best friend too, but it is usually used in reference to romantic partner.
Guide504 great time hear your wife is your best friend. That’s how is should be 😊
@@TabithaLaker I think that is the issue with so many youngsters. In successful marriages you have to be best friends and to differentiate 'types' of relationship misses the point that it must be both romantic and a deep best friendship.The flush of a young romantic relationship is wonerful and exciting but to last there has to be the deepest of friendships at the core to survive the difficulties of life. Those moments when you just don't like each other very much! Or chasing faeces around a birthing pool when your wife deficates giving birth. Or delivering your second baby cos the midwife didn't turn up then wrapping the child and wondering why your wife is slipping away from you only to look down at the bed and and realise she is bleeding out and you got to get yr shit together to keep her RIGHT NOW! You've got to be the best of friends when stuff is hard and both of you are rough around the edges, in order to give eachother a sideways glance and be playful as you were all the time in the beginning. Time will try and take everything from you but with your best friend, honesty and absolute trust the worst day will be the first day in your last days alone. Together we are more than just two people and without her and our time together I would be much less than I am today. You are a beautiful girl outwardly, if you are as beautiful and courageous on the inside you will I'm sure find someone equally worthy to share this brief time on earth with, who knows maybe you already have.
I first went to Iceland 18 years ago to work and I have seen many great changes in that time...it is my forever place. We are looking at buying a summerhouse there when the kids go to university.
I Love the energy coming from this! You two ladies are just awesome :) bring it ❤️❤️
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I really enjoyed this video. I would love to meet an Icelandic man myself.
haha! Go for it. The dating culture is challenging but it might just be worth it if you get a good one.
I was curious, how dating worked in Iceland.. it seems that in a isolated country with a couple thousand year history, with very little immigration and very small population-dates... im serious. it really seems like you would be in a bar start talking to a woman only to find out they're your 2nd cousin once removed.
Yeah all Icelandic people are related. They actually have a database called íslendingabók where everyone Icelandic is registered. They can check their degree of relation with the people they meet/want to date. I did ask someone how they conduct themselves with the issue of being related & they said: They don't actually check that database because if they know someone is family, they would have met them before or at least know of them, if not, then it's obvious they are not that closely related. When it comes to Interracial dating, of course that is different and quite rare matter.
@@TabithaLaker I actually figured it 2as something as simple as that. Thank you for the reply, really appreciated. You and jewels channel has me excited for my trip. Take care
Yup, it's that simple. Of course, the closer you are related the more dangerous it is to procreate, but I am guessing this is taught at school. I think it's safe to say, that in Iceland, they tend to be more distantly related compared to other communities around the world who actively practice marrying close to home. Where my parents are from in Uganda, they ALWAYS ask around and check to make sure they are absolutely NOT related because that would be a damn shame according to the culture, and pretty akward if you ask me 😄 Glad you are excited for Iceland!! It's the most beautiful place and will always have a special place in my heart. Have fun!!
@@TabithaLaker oh wow 🤯 So thought provoking 💭🤔
Love from North Carolina
Thanks Gina!!
I disagree with what you said about Indiana & the midwest. I was born & raised in the midwest it's not that judgemental towards women& our sexuality.
Thanks for sharing. I am not too well versed on the USA but I can only imagine different experiences will have different point of view.
This video put a smile under my beard......thumbs up
Awesome!! 😊
I would love to see a video of how a vegan eats in Iceland. (3 meals a day, snacks and drink)😃. @msgordonencourages
LOL! I can tell you that it wasn't easy! LOTS of salad & potatoes and bread!
Please I want friends from Iceland
Go for it. But please understand, it's usually easier to make friends once you are in the country.
@@TabithaLaker please am not in their country what can I do to make friends from there once am not in the country
I need relationship with Icelandic woman, please can you guys introduce me?
No... we don't know you. & that's weird.....Why do you need a relationship with an Icelandic woman?!? Just look for a woman in your country.

@@TabithaLaker Good Answer 👍
@@charlottebrefo6879 some people haha...
Eating until you explode? I thought that's a big thing in every culture!
Not every culture, but many.
I was wondering what on earth the dislikes were about but judging from a couple of comments here, it looks like some people just read the title, read it all wrong and left a dislike without having any idea what the video is actually about. I'm not sure how I ended up watching this, even though I'm an Icelandic man (TH-cam autoplay is a thing of mystery) but I found the conversation real interesting.
I think you are right. People saw the title and jumped to conclusions - either 1) they were dissapointed that we didn't give a step by step guide or 2) upset because we aren't "sticking to our own" or 3) upset because the Icelandic population is already quite small therefore the local men should be left to the local women...I don't know. As someone who was genguinely interested in meeting someone there, I just thought it would be an interesting conversation to have and share. I am happy you found it interesting 😊
@@TabithaLaker it may be the fact that when I was first in Iceland the women out numbered the men 3 to 1.
Nice 💖
Thanks Dear! 😊
Number two: Be intelligent, educated and socially accomplished.
Again true!
LOL! Right! People that are intelligent, educated and socially accomplished ARE attractive - no matter what their ethnic background is!
beautiful ladies, good luck in island.
Thankyou!
Can you give me some advices. I'm having a chat with an Icelandic man for 1 month and i don't know if his serious or not, since we're not yet meet since quarantine period. Can i consider that his serious with me or his just flirting or what? That is a big help for me if you response and i really appreciate it....... And of course I've learned a lot from your video, keep it up
I will ask some friends who are in successful relationships with Icelandic men and also some Icelandic men who have serious relationships to find out then maybe even make a dedicated video about it. I really hope it works out for you. Thanks Maria!
I actually asked a couple of my Icelandic male friends - 1st one said - to go with your gut feeling, it's helpful to be together face to face because you can actually hang out and get a feel for what he is about. Go for dates and walks etc etc. I also asked my girl friend who is married to an Icelandic guy and she said they spent time together to figure out if they match. So it seems like it's all about 'being there' in person. Of course if you cannot meet in person yet, you can only hope they are being genuine. Hope that helps.
how/where did u found your icelandic man? I want to talk to one too!
Very insightful!
Oray is a great name. Wrote it down in my “baby name” list.
Thanks for watching, glad you found it insightful. I think the correct spelling is 'Orri'. Just to let you know 😊
wow-----what an enjoyable, enlightening, entertaining video! Iceland sounds like an amazing place and you both project so much fondness and respect and love for it that it's easy to see why you are succeeding at assimilating there---thanks so much for sharing!
Aw I am happy you found it to be! Both of us definitely have a love for Iceland. I am not there at the moment, but my life in the UK at the moment keeps pointing me in that direction 🇮🇸 I miss it so much! If you have a trip planned in the near future I hope you have a wonderful time 😊
Updating Tinder location....
lol sure all the best. But do you plan on going?
Yeah I'll come see you
@@DerwinDaDestroyer don't bother I'm not there. Plus not interested. What's the point in you changing your Tinder location to Iceland?
@@TabithaLaker I've seen that you've left... I don't even have Tinder really. I didn't even think that you'd even see my comment, let alone respond to it...
@@TabithaLaker I'm just here enjoying the content... Don't mind me
I love that you took the time to share the perspective of a woman of color dating in Iceland but unless I missed it I didn’t really get any tips? Is the bottom line to just be open and keep expectations low when meeting an Icelandic man? Or just go for it? I’ll be visiting in May and I’m curious as to what the singles scene in Iceland is like?
Wow, I am so sorry this comment reply is coming late. I remember seeing your comment and actually thought I had replied. The purpose of this video was to just share our real life experiences. However, I think you have pretty much summed it up - (some)Icelandic men don't really like to promise too much to a woman up front. They prefer to build a ‘friendship’(often romantic friendship/no label) and see where it goes. I guess you could say this is keeping expectations low if you want to date with purpose. That can get a little uncomfortable if you aren't used to this dating style. I personally find blurred lines quite frustrating. Of course this might be a way for those men to figure out if they are interested in you, but in that case I would just keep it as a friendship and continue dating other men until they can make a decision or you meet someone else. There are, however, upfront Icelandic guys who are straight forward and honest about their long term vision for a relationship (hookup or serious) & specifically a relationship with YOU if they happen to like you enough to be able to see you in their long term future. The best way to find out is to date them (without compromising your integral values and desires) and NEVER skip on the communication otherwise you could be in for a SERIOUS heartbreak. And always remember at the end of the day Icelandic men are just Men. Another tip would be to make sure he is open to dating a black woman seriously, because some of them hide it and later on you find out it he is doing it in secret for experimental purposes (this is the truth). If he invites you to meet his friends, takes you out in public, shows a deep respect and interest towards your culture and faith you could have a keeper 🤗 There really are some good guys out there. I wish you the best (/Hope you had a good visit in May).
Planning to move to Iceland hope I will find my dream man
Ooo yes maybe!! Wishing you the very best of luck!
men and women come toghter thats all!!!!
yes
Hi I really enjoyed this video, as a black woman I am in a relationship with an Icelandic man, he lives in Iceland and I live in London and we are in the talks of me moving to Iceland but I am not too sure since I am a city girl. I been to Iceland few times and fell in love with the nature side of the country, it’s magical just not too sure about the weather as well as living there and the social aspect of it. How’s it it living there, making friends as an adult could daunting..
Hey Samira 😊 thanks for sharing. Glad you enjoyed this video. As for moving to Iceland, it's good you already love the nature. Making friends in Iceland is vital. Winters are long and dark it is very important to be surrounded by good company. As long as you are open, you will find friends. Most people (even Icelanders) tend to find winter particularly difficult, but as long as you have friends you'll be OK. And, I'm sure your boyfriend would introduce you to his people - With that, it should be quite easy for you to integrate yourself and make more connections. If you plan on working here too, you will also find people in your workplace that you could be friends with. What I'm saying is don't worry about that aspect too much...As long as you are willing to make it work, it will work 😊 And London is only a 3 hour plane ride away!
Good evening
Wow AFRICA!!! the motherland!!! beauties are everywhere!! Nice to see a video on your African kinship.

Patsy Lynch I get what you mean and see it the same now you’ve put it that way. I just thought it was an attention grabbing title. Didn’t give it 2 thoughts. If you actually watch the video, the content speaks for itself. It's just a sharing of experiences. Feel free to move along to other content on TH-cam. Goodbye.
@@TabithaLaker Thank you Tabitha, for your prompt reply, I was just watching something on Netflix's re Iceland, which I have to say looks beautiful. Your video came up. I watched that and another video of yours came up and i swallowed hard.. Why do we have to talk about amother culture male or female like they are a foriegn species. Is what came to mind, especially in this climate. Where black people have to fight to be accepted as simply being human! When you give your authentic self you either gel or not, be true to you. And what comes comes. With your explation I will come back to your video later but thanks again for the explanation. 👌🏼

Enjoyed your video but I see you did not talk about the interracial aspect. Is it not generally accepted ? Also there must be men of other nationalities you could pursue? It just seems to me you are limiting your horizons by stipulating an Icelandic man. No shade.
Well, after my life experience there. I can see from my friends that the interracial aspect is generally accepted and normal. Based on the content of this video, I thought that would be obvious. Maybe that is a point to make clear, if I ever make a similar video.
That being said, there are some people who would definitely never date or marry a black person, who is also non-Icelandic speaking. That is the reality. There is actually nothing wrong having those preferences in place, but the problem arises when they 'like' you, but cannot be with you because their friends and family wouldn't approve. You have to be pretty unlucky to meet someone like this - meaning, it's rare. However, this relationship dynamic can be found in every country the world. Even within black relationships. Tribal differences, East vs West, Light skin vs Dark skin ETC ETC ETC.
If you are genuinely interested in finding someone there, try to weed those people out as soon as possible. If you ask, they will tell you the truth. I love that honesty because it can help you make decisions sooner and avoid wasting time.
This video was filmed 3 years ago (check the date) when I was actually living in Iceland. Although I mostly met Icelanders, I did not limit myself. Try to understand the context. If you were single and living in a foreign country, wouldn't you try to understand the culture and people? Or not? Anyway, it's not my preference or a requirement to be with an Icelandic man. I am more interested in a good character and other important qualities. But I wouldn't discourage anyone from going for the type of man or woman they truly desire! They are the one that has to live with them after all and obviously have their reasons for wanting what they want. Whether those people people want them back in return is another question.
two very smart attractive women!
Thank you!! 🙂

Mystery Universe and visa versa. Many black men prefer white women. Don’t be upset though, there are many black women who wouldn’t even look at a man who isn’t black 🤗 and I support them! We all have a right to choose 😊
@Mystery Universe i think that's in retaliation to how black men treat us. Trust me. Western black men are colorist jerks so many of us are turning other white men or others.
Mystery Universe I’ve never seen a black woman look at black men as beneath them. Usually they’re just minding their own business then a black man comes along - hurt and offended and tries to tear her down. Then, she responds. It happens to me especially because I’ve ventured out to live in different countries. Even when I mentioned liking snow in winter (nothing to do with dating) black men attacked me on the internet. I don’t need that drama. I say, go where you are loved and celebrated. Once you have the right attitude, all women will be attracted to you regardless of your colour. You don’t need every black woman to love you, just 1.
Mystery Universe a lot of black women feel unwanted by black men too unfortunately. Gorgeous beautiful women. I’ve never experienced that because I’ve always been open minded. I think the rejection feels more apparent when it’s your preference rejecting you. I understand that it’s super hurtful, but the key is to keep your dignity and self respect. Keep learning about yourself and others, be kind, build your confidence and favour will eventually find you.
Vous n avez rien à faire de plus intellectuel ??
Pardon? Pourquoi ma vidéo n'est-elle pas intellectuelle?
@@TabithaLaker le theme madame . Je pense que les femmes noires devraient maintenant tenter de faire briller intellectuellement ceux et celles qui les suivent .
Et eviter les thèmatiques trop légères qui ne font que nous enfoncer dans un vide sideral .
Vous etes intelligente donnez nous des aperçus certes drôles mais instructifs de l island .
Bien à vous .

Give me a break ladies I am Danish
What do you mean by that?
Danish men are so attractive 😱 😍
Good evening
ALM Albino Lives Matter!
Yes of course
Great topic but Tabitha you looked so distracted. Must be the topic
I was very focused on the topic actually. I looked distracted because we weren't alone in the apartment and sometimes not the living room where we filmed. The second reason I may look distracted is because I was mostly facing Jewells while she spoke as opposed to the camera lens. When someone is speaking to me, I think it's important to look at them and engage; However, while filming, it's a little difficult to strike a good balance between looking at the lens then the person you are talking & filming with.
As I am a half black man, I am waiting for the video “how to get an Icelandic woman for black men”
You're not black. You're biracial
haha I understand - but the point of this video was to share experiences
I think it's okay for him to call himself black if it is his preference - I know some biracial people don't like being defined as black but some do. Plus, they cannot call themselves white, so usually choose between 'biracial' or 'black'. - Sometimes even alternating between both.
@@TabithaLaker and i think that's messed up. Like why can't they call them selves white?
@@stanfatou2002 Search up the “one drop rule” and you will understand the effect it has left on the US
I love your video but I hate when people accuse southern US Americans of being judgmental by.... judging... them. It's just a little hypocritical. Not everyone in the south is nice but the same could be said for everywhere else in the country/world.
Breana McGill I live in the South - people are not only judgmental, but they got something to say about things that are none of their business. And somehow, we're entitled to their ignorance, esp around who Black people date or don't. Speaking from experience.
Do you think Icelandic women are ok with dating black men? Am a black man in iceland.
Sure, my friend's brother married an Icelandic lady. So that's my first hand experience. Otherwise, it's just a preference thing. Some women like black guys, some don't. Some don't even care about skin colour....They meet you, find out your a great person and want to date you....or maybe you're not a nice person and they don't want to date you - Nothing to do with skin colour. The goal of this video was really to share our experiences with culture and dating style. Not have everyone running for Icelandic men and women haha
trust me they are more then ok with it lol. I'm an icelandic woman myself and me and all my other girlfriends agree on this
I Dont Even Know - great to know! Thanks for sharing 😊
@@solkatlarognkolbeinsdottir944 looking for icelandic girl
Yes my uncle married an Icelandic lady 🤗
Hopefully, Black people will be 20% in total population of the iceland in 30 years. you should promote and advertise more so that more black people come to Iceland
I doubt that will happen, but black people should definitely visit Iceland more.
There goes the neighbourhood.
I am a half black and I am moving to Iceland
Let's mix genetic material with Northern European people a lot so that Finland and Iceland can be full of immigrants and be diverse society.
KimDerek interesting. Just go for the person you want to be with. No need to make it a mission to ‘mix genetic material’ .....
@@TabithaLaker I want an Icelandic/Nordic woman.
KimDerek ok.
You guys prefer Icelandic/Nordic men and I prefer Icelandic/Nordic women , and we are black , we need to share information ~!
Why do you want to destroy two beautiful and separate cultures? Its like pouring a bunch of colors in one bucket and then mixing it to only make one color.
