20 Years, Two Names, and One Big Pivot: Meet "Mary K with Avon"

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!

Give yourself the gift of health No matter where you stand on politics these days, you can’t help but be concerned about the status of our national health care. No,

Last week I talked about hearing your opinion about my blogs which started back in December of 2020. I am grateful to receive a lot of feedback; much of which encourages me to continue. Yet recently I got a comment that made me pause. Let me share it with you.

I don’t have an exact quote but here’s the gist. My friend explained that although she likes the information, she doesn’t always feel engaged. She wondered why I didn’t ask more questions to “pull her in.” I had to stop and think about that. By now you know how much I love to share information – especially the events and actions that have helped me get to where I am today. However, I’m one among millions of people who do the same thing.  I do love blogging but it doesn’t mean much if it doesn’t help you enhance your life, or stir you into action.

This is where I need your opinion – and hope you’ll take some time to help me. I think it’s safe to assume that if you’re reading this, you do like the blogs. One question is this – “What specifically do you like about them?”  I’m also interested in any suggestions or ideas on how I could improve. Now that’s a very general request and can be hard to answer, so let me try to give you a little more clarity.

Maybe if there’s a blog(s) you really liked. What was it you liked? Conversely, what blog(s) did you choose not to read – and why not? Which blogs provide more value to you…inside or outside? Are there topics, like Boundaries, skin care, or health and wellness that you want to hear more about? Let me know your preferences. Finally, I did a series with my son, Bryan, about his journey of recovery from addiction. How did you feel about that?

This is the time to tell me what you think would help you the most…and I deeply value your opinions. Every comment submitted will be read. I’ll do my best to accommodate any and all suggestions but remember – I am not pizza or chocolate and cannot please everybody! I will also randomly reward three people who take the time to respond and expand their answers with a “Blessing Bag.”  All responses received by Oct. 15th will be included in the drawing.

One last thing. Anything you say is completely private. As always, if you would like to talk one-on-one, click here to chat or Zoom.
