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!

It’s that time of year to set New Year’s resolutions. Believe it or not, this tradition began over 4000 years ago with the ancient Babylonians. They made promises to their

This year, Mesa (actually all of Arizona) had a record number of high temperatures that continued into October. Now we’re in the 70’s and 80’s. What a difference a month makes! This year also includes some extreme highs in my life.  The launch of TEA, and moving to a new home are huge positive steps. 

However, not all was smooth. I experienced a scam on my bank account…and my son continues to struggle to stay sober. I will hold off talking about these events until next year because they, along with election fatigue, tell me it’s time to talk about celebrating the holidays. And for good reason! I have some easy, terrific ideas to make your holiday shopping experience so much fun this year!

Avon’s gift guide is the best I’ve seen yet. Whether you’re buying for others…or treating yourself…the variety of items could make this your one-stop shop. For instance, cooler weather calls for warmer slippers, and we have a cuddly variety to choose from. Jewelry items include year-round bling along with holiday gems. I especially love the “Holiday Box Wrapped Presents Pin.” It’s unique to Avon and won’t be around for long. 

If you’re interested in holiday décor, we have fun items like the “Santa Hanging Door and Wall Light-up with Sound.”   For something more spiritual, the “Wooden Lighted Nativity” scene adds a special glow to any room.

Of course, there’s always Avon’s beauty line. One of my customers always buys the 3.4-ounce Skin So Soft tubes for stocking stuffers. With hundreds of reviews for each variety, this is a guaranteed go-to gift. And if you want to share our newest skin renewal products, you’ll find “Beyond Glow” gift sets with serums and creams.

As you can see, I hyperlinked these ideas so you can go directly to the catalog. As always, if you’d like some guidance, call or text me at 480-684-2866 – or click HERE for any questions. You too can have a Joyful shopping season with Avon!
