Cosmo Blog Awards 2015 WINNER for Best Sex And Relationships Simply Oloni
Last night the three words I’ve been saying in my sleep for the last two months finally took place. Yes, the Cosmo Blog Awards. It all happened at One Marylebone, London. There was a free bar (trust me to mention that first), an awesome photo booth, bath tubs full of Blossom hill bottles. How lucky were we? Remington came down offering us a chance to style up our hair over at their stand. I was also able to grab my hands on their Curl Revolution wand alongside millions of other goodies we were all gifted with.
Simply Oloni was nominated for best sex and relationships and I have never been so stoked and anxious. That’s because bloggers see the Cosmo Blog Awards as musicians see the Grammys, as actors see the Oscars. It’s our time to shine and be amongst some of the greatest talent in the blogosphere.
Now last year I lost…but when I think back it wasn’t my time to win. I’ve been blogging about men who have used the line such as ‘let’s go dutch’ during dates since I was 18. Now at 25 and happily ‘boo’ed up’ I’m shocked that this is an actual passion, or become a huge part of my life. Teaching women how to find a decent lad, writing eBooks, giving seminars all over England and selling out events all created under MY brand.
So If you haven’t guessed already, (Well it’s all over my social media and title of this blog lol) yesterday I won under the category for best sex and relationships. I want to thank Beyonce, my sister Temi who I have always nagged to check over my blogs, my mother who is still convinced that I won due to her prayers, Seyi Noibi my cousin and part-time sub-ed, April Alexander for editing one of my favourite blogs that took social media by storm ‘The Girlfriend Fluffer’ in 2013, my boyfriend who hops on here once in a while to make sure I’m keeping our private life private HI BABY *MUAH*. No seriously, thank you for dropping whatever you’re in the middle of to check over my ideas. I appreciate you. Claud Williams thank you so much for believing in me and making me give up my old dingy blogspot account last year. That was so hard for me as that account was 7 years full of hurt, confusion and bad men and because of your kindness and time I’ve won my very first award. For over a year, you have continued to support me and give me so many ideas to make sure I don’t become what we call a ‘starving artist’. Thank you to every single author on Simply Oloni and every contributor present/past you are part of the reason Simply Oloni is where it is today. Lastly, thank you Cosmopolitan UK for recognising my blog. I’m incredibly grateful and honoured.
I hope this win encourages other women to go after their dreams. When you want something, make it yours. Be it an award, a job or a successful business.
Right, now time for some photos. . . (majority are shameless selfies)

I tried to work the shawl like I was Beyonce’s assistant, but it weren’t happening so I flung it to the side! Thanks again Cosmo, I had a wonderful night!
