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!

On March 24th I will be celebrating my 55th birthday. I am so excited and before I go on, I first have to share with you that attendance at my TEA course is soaring; both in-person and with Zoom! I’ll admit, at first the response was lower than I had hoped for. But that turned around last month – and the feedback is very positive. If you are even a little bit curious about what TEA can do for you, don’t hesitate to check it out. (Space is limited.)


Now – why am I so excited to turn 55?

Not only do I feel younger than the number suggests, I get people who are honestly surprised when I tell them my age. A doctor for instance. At my last visit my doctor was not available so I saw someone new. He was clearly surprised when he looked at me while reviewing my date of birth and said “Do we have a wrong birth year on file?”


Whether in person or on Zoom, I frequently get comments on how young I look. Yes, it is fun to hear this. Yet what’s more important is how young I feel. As crazy as this sounds, I feel younger now than I did at 21.


Why do I feel this way?


Back when I was 21, and for many years afterward, I tried to be in control of everything, including those around me. It’s a struggle that takes too much energy and it makes us feel old. Sound familiar?
These days I call myself a “recovering control freak.” Through classes, seminars, and Boundaries, I learned to understand what I can and cannot control.


And there’s more.


I learned how to turn that struggle into strength…something I will share more about next month.  As always feel free to contact me or by phone at (480-684-2866).
