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!

Last month I mentioned how 2024 was a successful year…but not without some struggles. Along with Bryan’s issues, I had a terrifying experience with scammers. I always thought I could identify unethical people without any problem.

Unfortunately, scammers continually improve their techniques.

It started with a call that my phone identified as my bank. Naturally, I answered it. They said the fraud department wanted to know if I had purchased something in Washington. I said no. (I had had a fraud incident a few months before which I caught by looking at my daily balances.) The caller knew my current account balance and my latest charge; therefore, I had no reason to believe it was anyone but my bank.

They told me not to use my card for 3-4 days so they could figure out what happened. This was difficult as I was scheduled to go to Boston, but I would do it. After three days away, I realized there was no phone call. I checked with Scott who also had no call. This prompted a call to my bank and guess what? There was no record of the fraud department contacting me!

Now a freeze was placed on my accounts and upon returning home, I had to go to the bank to prove my identity and get a new card with a new number. Meanwhile, the scammers got away with several hundred dollars from my checking account.
