Candice Swanepoel Hot Shots To Celebrate Her 37th Birthday!

Candice Swanepoel's celebrating another year around the sun ... and, she's just as hot as that star in this gallery we've put together to honor her 37th!

The model and Tropic of C founder is used to catching her fair share of rays ... consistently stripping down to just a bikini and tanning on beaches all over the world.

Just check out this pic of Swanepoel in a tiny blue swimsuit ... sipping on a bright pink drink in her infinity pool. What a view -- and, we don't just mean the ocean in the background!

Or check out this pic of Candice on the sandy white beaches bundled up in a sweater ... well, sorta bundled up -- she's still wearing a pair of barely-there bikini bottoms in this snap.

BTW ... Swanepoel's getting a ton of love online from her celebrity friends -- reposting many of their tributes to her own Instagram story for her birthday. Head over to her IG to check them out before they're gone!
