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

Fresh Fiji Sheet Detergent

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 feel like we have too many choices for everything? When it comes to laundry, it wasn’t that long ago when there were only a few major detergents available. Now, not only are there new brands; but each brand has multiple odors, power levels, and concentrations! So how do you know which one to use?

As usual, Avon has a different approach to a product that’s as easy as it is effective. And it comes in a sheet. Like fabric softener sheets, you don’t have to worry about spills, mess, or measuring. It’s formulation of seven different enzymes cleans dirt and oily residue from skin and strong stains. Like magic, it dissolves completely in hot or cold water and leaves no residue.

Fresh Fiji detergent is mild and long-lasting with a fresh and clean lemon and lavender scent, plus baking soda to eliminate odors. (We know baking soda works because it’s been around forever.) Fresh Fiji only takes one sheet per load and it’s perforated to down size for smaller loads. Unlike some brands that are machine-specific, Fresh Fiji works in all washers.

It’s so easy to use. Just place the sheet (or part of the sheet) in your washer and follow your normal wash cycle. If you have stronger stains, place a small piece (like a corner with a little water) directly on the stain and leave it for a few minutes. Then add it to the laundry machine. Our 63 reviews overwhelmingly praise the product. Even the worst view includes liking the convenience! And here’s the link to the Fresh Fiji Sheet Detergent if you would like to take a closer look.

Now what about those extra tough, set-in stains that no detergent can take out alone? Naturally, Avon has the answer. Next week I’ll tell you about Fresh Fiji stain remover and gel.
