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!

Ever notice how complicated it is to stay hydrated?  First, we know it’s important to drink lots of water every day. Also important is water quality. One answer is to buy bottled water. Yet there are reports that even bottled water isn’t always the best, plus it creates a lot of plastic waste. Tap water is cheap but may not be healthy and usually doesn’t taste good. So if you’re like me, you filter your water and drink from a re-usable bottle. But there is one more problem. Since my bottle cannot be put in the dishwasher, I need to be sure it’s clean.  I used to use a bottle brush and tried to clean it thoroughly. But was it completely clean?

Happily, I found a better way.

I decided to try a product that is fairly new in our portfolio of products. Morning Aura Bottle Cleaner is a tablet you add to your bottle filled with water to break down any residue and stains. You leave it for two hours and rinse. This cleans any residue you can’t reach with a bottle brush. It’s important to me because I now feel like the inside surface of my bottle is completely clean. And it’s easier than using a brush!

As usual, I like to test everything before I promote it, and I wanted to use it on cups and glasses that I could see inside and out. It worked on everything except for one – my favorite coffee cup that has held a lot of coffee and tea over the years. This cup did require two tablets to fully remove the stain; but it looks as good as new now!  Currently, Morning Aura Bottle Cleaner only has three reviews; but all are 5-star ratings. If you’re looking to completely clean not only your water bottles, but coffee makers, carafes, and thermoses, Morning Aura Bottle Cleaner is the best way to clean and re-use your containers while keeping your drinks safe.
