If your plans blow up in your face, they do not happen as you expect and cause a lot of problems. When you are working on a plan or a project, and if it suddenly goes wrong or fails, we also say "it blows up in your face." The phrase usually refers to a situation in which things get ruined while someone is working on it.

Things don't always go smooth in our life. We have to learn to accept failure and disappointment. But we should never give up! As long as we keep on trying, no matter how hard it is, we will succeed one day!
