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!

How about a change-up in topics today? Two weeks ago I shared how I set and achieved a goal. Before that, I shared more “ahas” learned at the Global Leadership Summit. I believe this event made such a huge impression on me because the variety of themes constructed a complex quilt of good sense. So let’s take a break from actions and look at the following words…

Take a nap. Go to sleep. That is the new hustle. Take care of yourself.

This comes from Albert Tate who states that napping is the new hustle. I don’t know about you, but in the past, I felt like I had to be busy all the time. It always left me overwhelmed and exhausted which lowered my productivity. But take a nap? No way! I would feel too guilty to do that!

One thing I did work on was my bed and wake-up times to try to get eight hours of sleep. That helped. Yet it didn’t erase the midday sluggishness completely. When I listened to Albert’s talk, it gave me permission to take a nap if I felt like it. You see, our brains are mini computers and need to be reset. Healthy leaders have healthy rhythms of rest. If you’re feeling tired or sluggish, go ahead and nap in the middle of the day. Rest equals freedom and you will end up going out in a season of abundance…

And be sure to take a day off now and then. The fact is, you can’t afford to NOT take a day off once in a while.

One last thing.

It’s OK to not be OK. We all have experienced loss, especially since Covid. Grieve it, heal from it, and let others in. This might include counseling. I did this for a year and a half in 2018 and 2019. It helped me heal and be honest not only with myself, but with others. As I’ve mentioned before, I am not a certified counselor, however, I do have lots of life experiences so feel free to reach out and talk with me to explore what you want to do with your life.
