We’re spending World Water Day this year swimming in Palm Springs and reflecting on some of the ways we give back, to help the millions of people around the world who don’t have access to clean water. Take a moment in the sun to check out some of our favorite charitable organizations fighting for access to clean water, environmental protection, and more. Updated March 2021.

We’re thrilled to announce our new collaboration with the one and only Gray Malin! This new series pays homage to the splendor of a timeless day spent at the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club, one of America’s premier social clubs with an oceanfront setting and a celebrated larger-than-life swimming pool, in Santa Barbara, California.
Gray evokes 1960’s resort lifestyle and transports viewers to the poolside glamour of yesteryear at the members-only historic landmark along the beloved California coast. See all the photos below!
“My favorite part of the Gray Malin shoot was simply getting to spend two days with the other girls as well as Gray and his whole team. Everyone’s energy was so fun and positive.” – Megan
“I love how fun and lighthearted [Gray] is. How he makes you feel so beautiful and makes it easy to look like you’re having fun because you’re actually having fun.” – Alex
“Pro tip – you can never wear enough sunscreen on these shoot days and a warm robe for between shots is a must!” – Mary
“The energy [Gray] translates into the camera along with ours in the water made for an awesome team-up. It was also super fun when he jumped in with us after we wrapped. ” – Ali
