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

Sirius Dog Shampoo 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

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,

Talk to almost anyone about their pets and it’s easy to see how highly they are regarded as family members. (For us, it’s our dog Titus.) So when I say Avon takes care of more than just the family, this includes some four-legged friends as well. Today I’ll tell you about three products that help us take better care of Titus. They also save us money.

Let’s start with the shampoo. Periodically Titus goes to the groomer because we don’t always have the time to do the thorough ‘teeth-to-tail’ cleaning ourselves. But let’s face it; grooming prices are going through the roof! It’s why we only do this every 4-6 months. Now while they do a good job, it seems like within a few days of being groomed, Titus starts to scratch again! This is where Avon’s Sirius Groom Shampoo for Dogs comes in.

It’s pH balanced formula contains a soothing oatmeal extract with a long-lasting scent. The oatmeal extract relieves the itching and comes in two scents – Berry and Baby Power. We don’t want Titus to smell like a berry so we prefer the Baby Powder.

Another ‘tool’ is the Sirius pet bath massager – an easy-to-grasp waterproof brush that massages loose hair and skin away. It doesn’t matter if he’s wet or dry, Titus loves the treatment!

Finally, Sirius has a Groom Odor Eliminator. This is meant for fabric and carpet surfaces only, NOT the pet. It’s great for furniture, car seats, pet beds, etc. Only in Baby Powder scent, it uses rice and barley to neutralize and absorb odors. Because it doesn’t go on animals, it works for other pet odors too. The combination of these products allows us to extend the time between professional groomings. It gives us more time, money, and a happier dog!

Let me know what you do for your dog and how it works for you. Like a famous ad says, we know “they’re worth it!”
