Talk Soon

They say life is a journey of “pivots,” and as I hit my 20th year in my Avon business, I’m taking my biggest turn yet.

The Story Behind the Name

When I started this Avon journey in 2006, I was Mary Halsey. In 2013, I became Mary Kominska after finally saying “yes” to my husband, Scott. (Fun fact: He actually proposed in 1987, and I said no! Proof that some of the best things in life—and business—take time and the right timing.)

The Rebrand: Mary K with Avon

I am celebrating two decades of beauty, I’m leaning into the name I was born to have. I’m officially rebranding as Mary K with Avon.

I’m the “Mary” you’ve trusted for 20 years, simply with a fresh vision and that signature Avon glow. This “pivot” is about honoring my history while stepping boldly into the future.

Why Pivot Now?

After 20 years, I’ve learned that if you aren’t growing, you’re standing still. 

My 2026 Pivot means:

More Energy: A refreshed commitment to my customers.

More Expertise: Two decades of beauty knowledge at your service.

The Same Heart: I’m still the same Mary, simply more “me” than ever.

I am excited to show you what’s next!

My previous blogs on inside beauty have focused on healing within so that your inner beauty can flourish. But another aspect of bringing out the best in you is to recognize your talents and see what you can do with them. This is a dynamic process that grows and changes and it’s something I’m currently experiencing myself. 

If you read my story, you saw the challenges I had to fight through to get to where I am today. Last year, on Christmas Day, I announced the creation of my website Best and Beautiful You so that I could do two things. First, share beauty tips with my Avon products to bring out the best in your appearance. Second, use my life experiences, along with continued participation in Boundaries and PAL, to help you learn how to feel beautiful and heal inside. And it’s not just about me. In June and July my son, Bryan, blogged about the formidable obstacles of overcoming drug addiction, and what he’s doing now to turn his life around.

I can’t believe the response!

What started as a desire to help my readers be their best and beautiful selves is growing beyond my expectations. The comments and feedback coming from so many people is such a blessing! What I didn’t foresee was the requests for personal mentoring. Now I am not a psychiatrist or a counselor (nor do I charge their prices!) What I’m finding is that the need for personal attention is strong, and this is the shift I’m making in my business.

My blogs will continue to come out weekly because I do love sharing information with all of you. And I am excited to announce I’m adding scheduled consultations for those who would like or need personal one-on-one time.

Based on my experiences with several mentors, I can personally testify to the difference one-on-one coaching can make. As always, you can contact me with questions and learn more about what we can do together!
