My 20 Year Avon Journey

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!
Taking My Power Back
Building Better Habits – Taking My Power Back
I wanted to check in with a quick update on my health journey. After navigating those 2 skin cancer procedures back in December, my body has given me a few more things to focus on: Type 2 Diabetes and high cholesterol.

I’ll be honest, it’s a lot to manage at once. I’ve come to realize that these diagnoses don't define me—they simply change my "to-do" list. My new routine is straightforward: I’m being much more mindful of the carbs and sugars I’m taking in, medication, and I’m making sure I get my body moving every day. Whether it’s a walk, a quick ride on my stationary bike, or getting up more often, I’m finding that movement is great for my mood and my numbers.
I found a surprising fact while doing research…. While we often feel like the United States is at the center of the health struggle, we actually rank #3 globally for the number of people with diabetes. China is #1, and India is #2. Knowing there are millions of people around the world making these same choices every day makes the journey feel a little less heavy.
I’m still the same person I was in November—now, a new version that’s a bit more aware and a lot more active. I’m healing, I’m moving, and I’m taking it one day at a time.
What’s one simple thing you do for your health that makes you feel the most "in control"?
