Hi Deb,
Je ne sais quoi means "I don't know what".
And Joie de vivre means "enjoyment of life".

Incidentally, the expression "joie de vivre" is also used in English (you could also translate with "joy of living", "joy of life" if you really want to use English words).
In English, "je ne sais quoi" is almost always used in the expression "a certain je ne sais quoi", so another English equivalent would be "a certain something".
