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!

This month I’m following up on what I started in March about feeling younger now, than I did at 21. It’s about control. More specifically, what I can and cannot control.  As I mentioned in that blog – I am a recovering control freak. Yes, recovering. Not only do I enjoy the successes I’ve already achieved, I continue to relish the ongoing process. Here’s how.

First, let’s remember that age is a number on your birth certificate. Despite the millions of dollars we spend on products to slow physical change, we can’t totally control what happens to our bodies. We also can’t control what other people think and do. The power that we do have is over our mental well-being. Looking back on my story; at 19, I struggled with everything. I tried to control myself, my circumstances, and everyone around me. It was exhausting and it made me feel old. Fortunately, I’ve learned how to change that.


For example, helping or enabling others. We love to think we are doing the right thing by helping. In the past, I took responsibility for others and did what they should have been doing for themselves. I speak from experience about how challenging is it to set a boundary. In other words – when to take control – or give it up. I always have to ask myself – am I empowering or enabling?


Letting go of things and people we cannot control is frightening. It feeds our sense of failure. Yet when we learn how to determine where our influence begins and ends, we become free.  This is where TEA comes in. It’s an accumulation of all the education I have taken to give people a jump start to the freedom they are craving.


I truly celebrate turning 55 because I learned how my thoughts guide my emotions that in turn – influence my actions, I understand what I CAN control. That freedom continues to make me feel better every day.
