Answer
Hello,

“Your Guardian Angel” translates as “Angelus custos tuus”, while “Seize the day” is in Latin “Carpe diem” which  is a quotation from Horace’s Odes, Book 1, ode 11, line 8, where we read:
"Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero"[literally, "Seize the day, trust as little as possible in tomorrow"].

As for “Beautiful disaster”, it would be “Vera calamitas”, which in Latin has however a negative connotation as it means that something/someone is a real disaster.

Best regards,
Maria
