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!

After a tumultuous 2024, I can truly say I’m looking forward to 2025! In last month’s blog, we took a “time-out” from the angst that defined 2024 and returned to the joy of the holiday season. I hope you found everything you needed HERE.

Looking back, 2024 has been a roller coaster ride for me. As I continue my journey, I realized how much I allowed my 30-year-old son Bryan’s ‘in and out’ of jail and rehab to derail me. Yet even with the ups and downs, it was met with some major accomplishments. First is the success of TEA. Classes started small and steadily grew throughout the year. I’m thrilled to say that 2025 courses are starting to fill already. I have more on that below.

I am now a published author and accomplished this shortly after selling and buying a home! I also applied to be a substitute teacher. Since school was a safe place for me, I wanted to give back and was accepted in two days! I’m told the decision-makers most likely reviewed my social media to learn more about me. 

This is a good time to remind you of how people perceive you based on what you publish. Recording your accomplishments goes a long way. However, saying anything negative can come back to hurt you. What you write, and how you write it, defines how people view you.

If you need help to bring out the best in you, think about my T.E.A. course. The first one in January, done by ZOOM, is scheduled for January 6th.  February is set up for those who prefer classes in person. As mentioned above, spots are filling up so space is limited. This is partly due to attendees taking the class more than once. They learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible. Here’s feedback on a survey from one of the classes:

“I wish I had known you sooner and taken your class earlier. I know my life would have been easier.” 

The new year is always a great time to review and redirect your life, and the time is NOW! Call or text me at 480-684-2866 – or click HERE for any questions. After all, you may be the next person to tell me how you wish you had taken TEA sooner!!!
