I am shamelessly stealing this idea from OHmommy who recently raised money for the earthquake victims of Haiti. Brilliant ideas are totally worth copying.
For every comment on this post, I will donate $1 to help the Haitian people. I have to cap it at $200. But I want to give more. So I asked two amazing businesses, Baby Star and Yogamat Boutique if they would partner with me in this cause. These are the kind of companies that don’t just make fabulous products but also care about our environment and our world. Both Baby Star and Yogamat Boutique agreed to match my donation!
So please leave a comment on this post to make your dollar count. And please take a moment to visit the sites of Baby Star and Yogamat.
Baby Star is a super stylish, eco friendly baby apparel and accessories company.You will love everything on their site. From blankets to bedding to diaper bags, this is THE site for design savvy parents. Or at least those of us who strive to get there.
This is their super cute rick-rack dress for ages 3 months to 24 months, available in adorable patterns. Baby Star is also donating 10% of its January proceeds to the Mercy Corps efforts in Haiti.
Yogamat Boutique is an ecologically conscious active and lounge wear company. They sell the cutest, most flattering clothes, for doing yoga or just lounging around. This company was started by three impressive women (a former model, rock musician and denim market executive) so they know style and beauty.
This is their Delhi Silhouette yoga pants for spring. It’s an adorable capri and you can pair it with the Andaman top that promises to hides back fat and love handles. Yahoo for that!
So thank you to Yogamat and Baby Star for their generous donations. And thank you everyone for taking a moment to leave a comment and help us raise money for Haiti. I am so grateful. xo xo

Fabulous work, Kelcey! xoxo
Aloha Kelcey…you make me laugh. great idea!
Great idea Kelcey! Hope you’re feeling well this week!
Great idea I will check out those websites their stuff looks cute
great idea. i love your blog and the light and funny tone, but in the last few days my mind was so much captivated by what happened in haiti that I was wondering if you ever would mention it.
What a lovely way to help! Congratulations to you on your big news and all the best.
nicely done Kelc…
great idea….hope you get to $200!
A comment for Haiti! There is someone in Ardsley collecting stuffed animals for Haitian children, which seems like such an easy way to help for all us who have so many we can donate. Let me know if I can send you the info.
Go Kelcey!
Great idea!
Great idea! (but now I’m jonesing for one of the diaper bags I saw at Baby Star… I already have 6 diaper bags, my hubs will kill me if I buy another, but SO CUTE…)
Well Done! thank you
every dollar counts 🙂
Excellent Idea!!!
Yay!!!
Great idea! Wonderful cause!
What a great idea! The things on Baby Star are adorable…I’m sure you’ll be buying a few things when the babies come!
Great idea!
Great idea.
Fabulous idea, getting someone to match your donation!
Kelcey, you are the best.
Now this is something worth stealing!
Every little bit helps! xo
This is so awesome! I can’t believe I can help the people in Haiti just by leaving a comment. THANK YOU!
Fabulous xo
Great idea, Kelcey, thanks!
Thanks, wonderful idea!
Good morning!
very nice, thank you for doing this!
This is awesome. I love the matching donations that you got. And *sigh* Baby Star makes me want another little one just so I can buy these adorable dresses.
42 dollars and counting! Pioneer Woman only paid 10 cents a comment. But at 25,000 comments, that was the wise thing to do.
Of course I’ll comment and do my part. Thanks Kelcey, for everything you do, even the little things that may not seem like much from one perspective. Every bit of insight or humor or even pain that you share through your blog touches hearts and spreads positive energy in ways that can’t be measured. This is something that can be, and I for one, am grateful.
Oh, and who are you sending it to? My faves are Doctors Without Borders and Partners in Health. Mrs. G at the Women’s Colony picked Oxfam for her fundraiser.
Well done! Great effort and thanks for the links.
Checked out their sites and bookmarked them! Thanks.
Cha-ching cha-ching, keep it coming!
great idea! thanks for helping the people of Haiti.
Wonderful idea!
Great effort to help out!!
Wonderful idea! Here’s my comment… good for you!
What a nice thing to do! And congratulations to you and your family on your additions!
You are the best Kelcey!
i’m donating to drs without borders and catholic relief. praying for the people of haiti.
Great idea. Thanks!
That’s a great idea, I was watching the BBC the other night and trying to figure out what I could do. I like this.
Wonderful idea! Way to go!
I hope this helps!!
Great idea to recycle this idea! Love your blog.
Reporting for duty!
xo
Cool idea. Will look forward to the results!
What a great idea! I’m happy to comment for the cause!
So great to help others in need! It’s always important to remember how lucky we are. Thanks to you and the two companies that are matching.
What a wonderful way to help! Thanks Kelcey!
Our prayers are with the people in Haiti. Great idea Kelcey!
Thank you for doing this!
Great idea! Thanks for helping!
2 million homeless? mind-boggling…..Give a buck for me! Hope that makes it worth $3. My favorite online quilt crack dealer, I mean supplier is donating many fabulous items to auction for Haitian relief @ Fat Quarter Shop. I’ll post it on my blog.

Awesome idea!
What a great idea. I wish I had 1) some money or 2) blog commenters, and then I’d do the same thing.
Thanks for doing this!
Nicely done Kelc.
Comment for Haiti!
Thank you for funny posts that crack me up during my work day!
Yes! What a great idea. Thank you for doing this, all of you.
I love the yoga pants at the boutique, but I’d have to do yoga for five years before I could fit into them [insert sad face here].
Well done!
Thank you for helping
You’re the best!
Love this, you big hearted woman.
And the person who stole your coat shall rot in hell.
God bless you and the people of Haiti.
Wish I could make everything better for those who are suffering. Here’s my comment to make a tiny dent. Thanks for organizing this, Kelcey.
Such a great idea. xoxo

Awesome job Kelcey! And I will go shopping RIGHT now… not because I want to, but to raise money… well…either way! 🙂

HAITI
We can never understand
what these people are going through,
the destruction of homes and lives
of buildings old and new
As we see the images
on our computers and TV’s
our hearts go out for the people
and the suffering we see
Looking at the pain and grief
on the faces before our eyes,
we must reach out and help
as it’s not too late to save lives
There is so much that they need
Help can come in many ways
Shelter, food, search and rescue
is required over the coming days
So many lives have been lost
Let us pray with all our hearts
as these people don’t deserve
to have their world torn apart
In a land where life was tough
before the earthquake hit
Now things are so much worse
but we can all do a little bit
So look inside your conscience
Can you help in any way?
Your donation will make a difference,
for the needed aid it will help pay
Show we ALL care.
~ Karen Bailey, January 2010
Thanks for doing this!
What a great idea!
thanks kelcey! what an amazing idea… you rock! xo
Great idea! Nice work.
Props to Kelcey, Yogamat Boutique, and Baby Star for doing the right thing.
this is one way to get me to comment!
Better to steal an idea to help people than a coat from a children’s museum! Way to go! 🙂
Happy to add another $ with this comment. Thank you for you act of kindness.
And hope you are feeling well!
Great idea, Kelcey.
Great idea!! Thank you.
genius, Kelcey! Good idea!
could there be any better reason to stop being a quiet reader?? kelcey, I really love reading your blog, it is so REAL in so many ways… also thanks for your effort to help haiti – I’m gladly joining in!
This is a wonderful thing you are doing. Thank you, and thank you also for telling us about these great companies!
I love it that you are doing this. Stealing rocks.
Thanks for doing this~here’s to reaching 200!
Yes, it’s horrible to watch the pictures coming in of the suffering going on there. However, the USA has given milllions/billions in AID over the years to a corrupt government and it never trickled down to the people. I’ve been to Haiti and I wouldn’t return there in the ‘best of times’. I’d suggest the USA take over the country, spend our taxpayer money on making it a vacation paradise, creating jobs for Haitians and eliminating crime- ridden Mexico from getting tourist dollars from us. My contribution has been given to the Red Cross…
great job kelc, and all your super readers who are doing good work!
This is a great idea for a great cause. Kudos to you Kelcey.. and welcome to Westchester!!

You are not only fabulous, but generous. I know that my friends at Packer (in Brooklyn) just raised some serious cash at a bake sale. We are talking a heck of a lot of cupcakes! It’s great when we all come together to help.
Thank you for doing this.
thanks for doing this. and congratulations again…
wonderful idea!
I just gave $100 on the phone during the benefit show – and got to talk to John Cusack and Cameron Diaz – well worth $100 – oh, and I wanted to help out the people of Haiti.
Great idea Kelc…here’s my dollar. I will also be helping in another way by possibly deploying with my disaster team and our 2 Mobile Acute Care Hospitals (named MACH-I and II) in the next few weeks. Keep me, my colleagues, and the people of Haiti in your prayers. Thanks.
Came to your site from classychaos.com
LOVE OHmommy
I’m glad you’re doing this! its a good cause 🙂
great idea – it’s hard sometimes to know how to help when something like this happens.
Kelcey:
I am very happy to see that you are finding the time to help those in such dire straights in Haiti. As you can imagine, I am itching to go there to help with the relief effort …..
What a tremendous idea – and kudos for reaching out to Babystar and Yogamat and getting them to match! You go girl!
Thanks you for doing this Kelcey!!!! I think we all want to do our part, and if we can do it over and over again….in ways like this, it is even more satisfying!!!
Great idea (and great companies – I’ll have to go check them out).

xoxo
Wassie, Mel & Sam
Wonderful idea!
Awesome way to help
Way to go, Kelcey.
Here by way of Marinka. Doing my small part 🙂
Nevermind the dollar donation; ask your readers to adopt a Haitian orphan….that’s REALLY DOING SOMETHING. And when are Adam and Eve making their debut?
So great of you to use your blog for such a wonderful cause.
Here’s to a good cause 4 away!
Thanks for doing this! I grew up in Haiti, so this whole crisis is very close to my heart. My dad went down to help with the effort, so he’s assisting surgeries and translating. Thanks again!
Happy to help Haiti in any way we can. As an employee of Avon, I’m glad to report that the Avon Foundation has donated $1 Million to Haiti relief efforts.
of course I’ll comment!
what a great way to raise money for charity 🙂
I can’t believe I’m the 201st commenter – does that mean that my comment doesn’t get $$$? J/K – what a great idea. My prayers are with the people of Haiti.
What a wonderful thing Kelcey! Great job!
delurking for Haiti!
Twins! Beth L. told me yesterday. VERY EXCITING. I’m so happy for you. It’s nice to have happy news amid so much bad. My prayers are also with the people of Haiti.
Good job Kelcey and OHmommy! I know I’ve missed being in the ‘top 200′ but wanted to write as I was trying to think of how UV Skinz could help donate plus raise awareness on this. You’ve got me thinkin’! And please let me know if you ever need other companies to help you with matching donations! Great work.
great idea.
Thanks for the inspiring deed! I hope you will get many, many posts. Also, thanks for the info on Yogamat – love the idea of lounging in style!
